"Abstracted Destiny" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

How are you feeling today? (Tonight? I'm not that good at projecting myself into the minds of my readers, so I'm not sure WHEN you're reading this...) I'm doing fine... Sitting on the floor watching videos of supposed cryptids caught on tape while I type into my laptop... None of this has anything to do with ARTZ, but it KIND OF does... I get a lot of my artistic inspiration from weird monster and ghost stories. Yep... (Here are some examples of NFTs that I've recently published...)

"Figment"

[Crayon, pen, sculpting dough, collage elements, and shadow on construction paper.] If it's just a figment of my imagination, then how in the HELL did it get onto that piece of paper???

"Rip Taylor's Bio-Rhythm"

[Digital drawing created on an e-reader device.] This piece was drawn and published WAY BACK in 2014. It was originally shared with the world through my old blog, The Primitive Entertainment Workshop! There are hundreds of secret messages encoded in the artwork (naturally...) Make sure you find them all!

"Red Coyote (Just Sleeping?)"

[Ink on paper with digital embellishments and color.] He LOOKS dead, but he's just sleeping... Or is he in a trance? Perhaps he's having a vision!!! (He's clever like that!)

"Red Coyote Calls a Meeting"

[Digital drawing over manipulated photo of a charcoal pencil on paper piece!] Red Coyote awoke from his trance with a vision of a terrible calamity about to befall Synergy City. He wanted to warn the local creatures...but suddenly forgot what he had dreamed just as the meeting was about to begin! (Bummer!)

"Hypnotic Eye"

[Digital drawing created in MS Paint.] This beastie with a hypnotic eye was drawn way back in 2013 and shared to my blog, The Primitive Entertainment Workshop... He is still at large!

"Yellow Dino"

[Ink on paper with digital embellishments and color.] One of my earliest possessions was a ViewMaster slide reel viewer; (must have been about 1975...) My favorite slides where "The Little Yellow Dinosaur," which was a series of 3-D dioramas with a clay dinosaurs... I don't really remember much about the story, but I do remember enjoying it... Someday, maybe I'll buy it again...maybe for my granddaughter! (Probably pretty expensive, at this point. Better get two copies!)

"Devil Burd"

[Digital drawing created with a no longer supported free app on my phone.] A malevolent presence, the Devil Burd wreaks havoc on unsuspecting small towns. Only Coyote (and her family) seem to have the power to stop this dangerous beast!

"Totem Punk"

[Ink on notebook page with minor digital embellishments.] Tube man who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. Eventually, he discovered punk (both the music and the culture), and fell HARD for the aesthetic. Now, even though he's no longer a youngster, he definitely still feels that he is a PUNK first...and a tube man totem pole figure only second... or third. (He's also a psychic investigator.)

"Ha Ha Ha! (Embossed)"

[Crayon on paper with digital embellishments and color manipulation.] Ghostly laughter in the night! Ha ha ha!!! (I wonder if the spirit will ever tell me the joke? I love a good laugh!)
