I've been making a TON (approximately 2,000 pounds worth) of art lately! Thrills! Lots of nonsense! Uuuuummm... Want to look at some stuff...???

"In the Land of Thorns" by RFY (HF)
[Felt pen, brush pen, and paint pen on paper with digital embellishments and moshing.] He woke up surrounded by briars. Each movement caused sharp flashes on his skin and swift tricklings onto the cord-strewn ground. Was there an OUT to be found here? ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

I've been using NFT Showroom as a fancy place to share outwork since the very early days of the platform!!! Some interesting (to me) stats for the Showroom. I have CREATED 1,538 pieces through this platform!!! I have 12,811 HIVE in sales through this great site!!! (That's, give-or-take, somewhere in $6,000.00 USD range!) Interesetingly, I've SPENT 9,820.233 HIVE in BUYING art from OTHER FOLKS with my sales! (That's about two-thirds of all my sales, and I'm guessing that the REST went to paying for the costs of minting over 1,500 pieces on the site!) Woooooo!!!!! This is not insignificant for someone like me... Thanksssssss NFT Showroom devs and managers and artists! Hooray!

"Sketchy Creature" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Liner pen on paper with digital embellishments.] The creature crawled out of a mirror, but I'm not convinced that the mirror wasn't cracked in some way... (I hope this beastie will be all right!!) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
P.S. - I'm thinking this is spooky enough to make it a #trashtober monster! Sorry if you disagree (but not really!!! Ha!)

"Folk Horror (Fuchsia)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Photograph taken with my phone, moshed, and digitally color tweaked.] There is something about Nature reclaiming human spaces that causes a sense of uncanny dread. When you take a photo of that process and then recolor it to be garish and moody.... It just makes you feel all icky! Right? ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Siggy the Cyclops" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen on paper with digital embellishments and color over moshed, recycled digital art thanks to digital layering.] The cyclops is a mythological figure, at least in his own mind. Siggy knew he was destined for greatness from the time he was just a larva, BUT he couldn't have known that he was actually going to kick the proverbial bucket during a childhood game of kick the bucket, when he slipped on some wet leaves and cracked his skull open on a cement porch step... He was only 107 years old... (Poor kid...) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Draggin' On" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Liner pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] Is it a dragon? Is it a zombie? Is it a lizard person? Denny doesn't like to be defined by his biological identity. He's an artist - and that's all that matters! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"In the Bloodstream" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen and gel pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] Here's a non-Halloween based piece! (Sorry! We'll get back to the ghosts and monsters, eventually...) Abstract, perhaps, but it's seeping in thru the skin... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Health and Welfare" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Liner pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] It should be clear from the facial expressions on all of the monsters and ghosts in this image that all is not well in suburbia... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
