"Reptile Heart" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Felt pen and gel pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] Looks like a little human, but it's NOT! Nope. It's a reptilian with a glandular condition, who also took way to many mushroom gummies and is now trapped in WonkaLand!

ARCHIVE ALCHEMY 001 - 3 Nov. 2025

New audio project (always new.. always...) in which I make myself happy with sonic vibrations. Maybe some others will be amused, although I also know that most folks won't be interested. Dat's coo... Mostly, this is for my personal satisfaction! I'm DECLARING THESE TUNES as PART OF MY PERSONALITY. (Some might find it offputting and creepy, but that's why I don't go outside much!)
My portions of this piece, including the vocal recordings, artwork, and text, are cc0. The audio collaged elements that I stole from others are THEIRS, and I don't have the right to sell those. Therefore, this piece is being released for educational purposes only and is not for sale... If you enjoy any of the tunes in this list, consider buying a copy from the artist, especially if they have a Bandcamp page or physical media that you can get directly from them. Streaming services are convenient for listeners, but they don't do SHIT for the music makers... We seriously gotta support the ARTISTS, people...
Ready to roll? Press on, if you dare!!!

"Ugly" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Felt pen, gel pen, metallic marker, colored pencil, and sticker collage on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color!] Anxiety art, healing through movement and accumulation! Plus, embracing the less-than-beautiful! Yeah, yeah, yeah!!!

"Toddler Experience" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool) & RSRW

[Felt pen and colored pencil on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] As the text reads (I wrote it, so I can paraphrase) the QUANTUM PARTICLES of rude larceny have adversely impacted the landing site of the best Gingerbread craft ever flown! And Riot helped, obviously, cuz he's so helpful!!! HA! ---RFY (HF) & Riot Shane Rowdy Willard

"Summer Rain Vibes" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Digital drawing created with a no-longer-supported, free sketch app on my phone!] Strange... The image is from several months ago, when it was raining this summer. (I live in the Pacific Northwest, so rain during summer isn't odd.) Today, as I'm finally SHARING the piece, it's sunny and clear, even though we're now in autumn, heading towards winter! The image seems to speak to me, today, though, and that's why it's getting shared today!

"Free Por All" by RFY (Holy Fool) & RSRW

[Sticker collage on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color tweaking.] Taking the normal and revealing how abnormal it truly is! (Riot is a genius at this!) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool) & Riot Shane Rowdy Willard

"Point Counterpoint Dot Dot Dot" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Digital drawing and digital collage on digital page with digital-photo-collage and silly words...] Haste makes waste... But I gotta say, I'm fully of the belief that being calm for a bit, doing NOTHING, can be quite good for you... I ain't talking about making PRODUCTS, I'm talking about just being still...

I haven't watched a Christmas story in a while, might be the year to see it again 😂

The language used throughout that film is genius. We watch it several times each year, and quote from it all year long!! The sarcasm DRIPS like glue from every syllable!
