Waiting in line for the RIDE of my life! Meanwhile, I'm looking for CLUES... (NONSENSE!!!)

"Magnetic Tape" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

My name is Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool), and I'm sitting on my bed, suffering from heat stroke (it's like almost 70 degrees f), and thinking about how I didn't "WIN" my personal challenge for the month. I was going to post a new THING on my HIVE BLOG, once a day, for the entire month of MAY. I have already blown that challenge, and I am discussing (between myselves) whether to kill the project... Now, (Tuesday, May 20th), I'm thinking I'll keep going, at least as regularly as my schedule allows... A reason to create is good. Technically, I MAKE SHIT all day long, almost every day. The problem is SHARING what I make. That's the part that I don't do...unless I give myself a reason to share! (EXCLAMATION POINT!) So, even though I already lost, I'm not gonna call the game (for rain, especially. I live in Washington State. If I called it quits because of rain, NOTHING would ever get done!) Are we on the same page?? Sure...

"Radiant Refuse" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen, gel pen, mechanical pencil, and colored pencil on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] In the alley behind the bar, the garbage began to GLOW. Nobody knew why, but everyone who got too close suffered burns, eye infections, and then strange, uncanny dreams... Each new exposure compounded the effects...

"Broken Pencil Party" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen, gel pen, brush pen, metallic marker, and colored pencil on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color mess-a-rounding...] I think this was a doodle that got a bit out of hand. Now, it's developed it's own consciousness and motives!!!

"Jittery Ghost" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen on printed paper with digital embellishments and color.] The ghost has a nervous condition, and unfortunately, they don't sell phantom anti-anxiety meds in his network. He needs to look for the spirit of Dr. Timothy Leary and see if he can help...

My face is on the seven dollar bill. It doesn't belong there, but that's not the point. (Inflation means that it's only worth seven cents today, but I'd still be happy even if it meant I OWED seven cents to everybody who has one!) (By the way, I'm totally making all of this up. I don't know why, but that's what's happening! HA!)
See y'all later!!
