It's FRIDAY, as I type this (even tho' it was five days ago when I STARTED this post...) I've been stuck in the PHYSICAL world lately, so I haven't had much time for VIRTUAL / on-line actions... Gosh... DANG... Anyway, here's some artz!!!
We're already rolling, so let's keep the momentum up!!! READY? GO!!!xxxxxxxxxxxxx1 Jan. 2025xxxxxxxxxxxxx"EYE" by RFY (Holy Fool)[Felt pen and brush pen on paper with minor digital color tweaking!] These are plans for a psychic journey that I sketched out in 2023... Maybe THIS YEAR, I'll finally attempt it!
Turn the page...Remember those old BOOK + RECORD stories, where you'd stick a 45 on a turntable, and then a narrator would read the book to you? When the person reading or reciting the text came to the end of a page, there would be a little bell or a tinkle or a signal of some sort telling the listener to go on to the next page... It was genius, really... I have a handful of those little records, still. Not too many, but a couple!
I am the narrator...for now... Maybe you can be the narrator next!!!xxxxxxxxxxxxx22 Dec. 2024xxxxxxxxxxxxx"Silver Fluster" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)[Felt pen, paint pen, gel pen, brush pen, and metallic marker on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments...] Various puppets suffering in Puppet Hell...
Yesterday, (Saturday, the 21st,) my family (Mariah "The Wife" and Frankie "The Older Daughter") took me to a mall and various other stores... For more than 10 hours... It went about as well as you'd think it would... I freaked out...just a little bit...
I can ALMOST breathe again! (Anxiety ain't no joke!!!)Here'z more of the ARTZ!xxxxxxxxxxxxx14 Dec. 2024xxxxxxxxxxxxx"Message from the Underworld" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)[Digital drawing created with a no longer supported, free app on my old-ass phone!] Just cuz you're gonna be judged in the after-world, that doesn't mean the Alligator doing the judging is a bad person! (It's just a JOB! Jeeze!)
