“The Holy Fool’s NFT Horde (Plus Some RFY Artz)” by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Digital drawing made with MS Paint.]

I know that “hordes” are kind of a DRAGON thing (and I’m definitely more of a goblin than a fire-breathing, winged lizard), but THIS goblin (a GOBLIN SHAMAN, perhaps; alignment “Chaotic Neutral”) has a horde. I acquired most of these for cheap or as gifts because I’m not a wealthy monster, but I’m still as thrilled as a bear in a honey pot to have collected them! (The ones that I DID buy were purchased with proceeds from my own art sales or from other crypto accretions built up over the last four years of blog posting and patience. I had no other choice!)

Regardless of how I acquired these works, I’m happy to have them, not for whatever economic value they might have, but for the communal and aesthetic pleasures they provide!

Let’s get into it! In no particular order, here are the pieces in the

RFY (Holy Fool)’s NFT HORDE! (I have included the descriptions provided for the pieces by the original creators in order for everyone to get the full experience. Quoted text is in italics.)

(5.) “Silly Daddy Costs Money” by Joe Chiappetta

I love my children. That's what parents do. In the course of that love, money (much money) will be spent on them, providing for their needs and getting them extra gifts. This also is a typical fact of parenting.

Yet since no parent is made entirely of money, we need to be frugal about when to spend money on our kids, and when to get things done without spending money. Such is the context of a recurring conversation that I've had with one of my dear children. We would be talking about what we wanted to do together for quality time. I would suggest free things (like a hike) while she would suggest costly things (like going shopping).

With such a conversation fresh in mind, the following Silly Daddy comic strip came to life. It's the fabric of my personal story. This is my life. Yet for many a parent, it is probably your life too.

Because I yam what I yam, I can’t just post other people’s artz and not get in on the action myself, so here are a few new NFTs from me!

xxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Segment"

[Brush pen, paint pen, and liner pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments.] Eyes and lines. Crazy. Frantic. What does "SEGMENT" mean?

https://rarible.com/token/tezos/KT18pVpRXKPY2c4U2yFEGSH3ZnhB2kL8kwXS:20089

xxxxxxxxxxxxx

"What's Up with That Dog?"

[Digital drawing created with a free app on my phone.] Multiple ears? Is his head in a box? Is that even a dog? And what's with all the weird symbols and moving images flitting around this creature? Who knows?

"Lo-Fi (Skully)"

[Crayon on construction paper with minor digital embellishments.] It's obviously a skull. Caucasian male, probably in his 40s or 50s. Cracks on the top-rear of the skull indicate blunt force trauma...

https://objkt.com/asset/KT1ABGYuE84UQNDJdWtMEhiBi6yhsfTQ7W56/123

xxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Lord Invader"

[Crayon, felt pen, and colored pencil on paper with digital embellishments, color, and moshing!] The insect leader controls the hive with its powerful mental telepathy. Most subjugated populations are brainwashed by Lord Invader and don't even realize that they are no longer autonomous individuals.

That's enough for today. Hope you folks are now convinced that the Universe is unstable and that our own perceptions CONSTRUCT what we experience in our own brains, such that each person lives, essentially, in their OWN Universe. If not, I'll see you in a day or two with more evidence...I mean "ART." Later!
