I released a new sound collage on BANDCAMP! It's hypnotic and loopy, made of found sounds and samples (no musical instruments, but no A.I., either. Just a faulty human, a recorder, and a laptop!) Let me know if you make it all the way to the end! richardfyatesholyfool.bandcamp.com/track/ventil...

Turns out I started making a post on Fathers' Day, but forgot about it before I finished. Ha! (Getting old? Nah...) Below is a link to the massive collection of stolen memes and weirdness! Give it a look, if you wanna. You might enjoy?? richardfyates.neocities.org/PAGE0213

Felt pen on paper drawing of a non-human-intelligence. The image was then printed with a kid's sticker printer of questionable quality after being "monochromed" into little, "black and white" dots...

Lots of silly stickers on torn purple and white construction paper, and some badly drawn (and proud!) cartoon critters woven in, like morning glory in a grapevine!

Large photo of Mt. St. Helens (in Washington) BEFORE May 18th, 1980. I took the photo with my phone yesterday while visiting a children's museum in Longview, WA, USA. The museum has an entire exhibit on the eruption... (I remember that day, still!)

Compilation Post time once again! Come see the NONSENSE! Art that makes you feel "HUH??" www.patreon.com/posts/fallin...

[Felt pen, gel pen, crayon, and sticker collage on reclaimed cardboard with minor digital embellishments.] My grandson, Riot, and I make many, MANY things. This scribbly, stickery, minor piece of ephemera (with a sticker printed from my little portable sticker printer of a digitally modified selfie of me and the kid) was fun to make and fun to eat... Great stuff!!!

This is what the grandkids and I have been doing over the last week (plus, some BONUS MEMES stolen from the wonderful WORLD WIDE WEB!) richardfyates.neocities.org/PAGE0187 www.patreon.com/posts/so-fro...

Mixed media nonsense, felt pen and colored pencil plus digital scribbling on reclaimed cardboard with digital color tweaking... My grandson (he's ALMOST two-years-old) and I have been making a SLUG-TON of art lately, and his new thing is digital drawing, but because I'm a weirdo, I give him photos of images we've drawn on paper and cardboard that I took with my phone to digitally "embellish." He's good at scrawling!!! (PLUS, he can't draw on the walls with the sketch app on my phone. His mom is getting pretty angry with the permanent markers that we HAD been using...)

Riot (my 1.5 year-old grandson) and I finished filling up our recycled cardboard, paper, and packing tape bound collage book today. Overall, I'm pleased with the chaos!

Mixed media collage on cardboard. Skull, hipster atickers, hand cut/torn bit and bobs. Includes elements created by several of our family members... If you build it, they'll say, "Huh? What is this thing?"
