"Make Things (Or Be Made By Things)" [Compilation Post!] by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

Under the bed... The place where things go BY ACCIDENT... The place where you look when you don't know where to look... Under the bed is scary and dusty and apparently OLDER than the rest of the room, which is strange, cuz that implies that MORE TIME has gone by in that non-place than in the NORMAL SPACES... HOW? Why? I want to make a combination magnetometer / boombox, so I can do research on "UNDER THE BED" while listening to some sweet tunes! (That's how you get REAL research accomplished!) Until then...

Let's look at some arts!

"Oil (Was More Than a Week)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Liner pen on notebook page with digital embellishments, layers, and color.] Of all the critters and entities that would not be fans of OIL, I'm thinking dinosaurs would probably be pretty high up on that list! GOSH!!! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Horse Shit" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Liner pen and fingers on notebook page with digital embellishment and color.] Words are my bread and butter... And I hate bread and butter. If I could, I would eat nuthin' but sugar, but that's against the rules. Maybe a cookie... But...what??? What do any of these words have to do with this drawing? It's a MYSTERY!!! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Always" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Liner pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] Always! Always??? Absolutely! By gosh and oh my goodness! Always and forever!!! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Don't Believe the Hype" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Felt pen, liner pen, brush pen, paint pen, gel pen, and mechanical pencil on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] It's a cosmic meeting point where the Galactic Elders gather to unwind and share some leisure time, but it IS a bit overpriced. (Don't believe the hype!) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

This morning, I felt a nostalgic urge to delve back into ZINE COUNTRY, but (for fun) I thought I'd see how the YOUNG FOLKS of the world are defining and deal with zines today. (Pretty close to how I felt about them when I was a teen! This was a LONG time ago!)

I'm feeling like I should be making more ZINES again. I love creating that kind of nonsense, even if I don't really know WHY I get the urge so often! (Just ROLL WITH IT, is my advice, which you didn't ask for!) If I make a new zine or two, I'll probably share them on PATREON. That's my current obsession...

"Moon Flower" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Liner pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] This one is a bit minimalistic in the cartooning, but the colors give it some much needed gravitas, if you ask me. (That, and it reminds me of the second time I was abducted by aliens...) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
