Feel free to commission me on there, or shoot me an email here: [email protected]
I'd also appreciate any donations as I'm not in the greatest financial position at the moment :d Thank you <3
had a spare LCD monitor with detachable stand so i put it on my flatbed scanner. these are 100% organic glitches and warps. 2 am shenanigans
Tried turning an absolute beautiful quote from the talented writer @andrexi1 into art. The black and white one was printed in and scanned at different resolutions to get that color glitch effect. The colored versions are purely digital.
Let me know what you think!
Alt-earth, alt-reality Worldbuilding project. Let me know what you think!
tumblr/discord exclusive cause im lazy to post it elsewhere. Here's some practice shenanigans with a random face photo from NASA edited using effects, noise images generated in blender using the shade editor, and databending using audacity, then printed and scanned.
3 hour practice thing. Used an image from the Ames Research Center Image Library and like 20+ layers. as always zoom in to see all the detail!!
not as detailed as my usual work but heres an album cover
PILLWORLD. New art piece. + zoomed in shots for those that don't want to do that or can't. (feel free to though if you can!)
2-3hr practice piece. Used lightness values on the hand to create an ASCII effect, so the hand is made out of characters. Cool colors when you zoom in. Thats all.

Made by..... drum roll please.... me. I hate the way I look so this was a true challenge LOL.
unfortunately due to tumblr you might not be able to see this in its fully glory even when open in a browser because compression. womp
Why does tumblr convert pictures to PNJ? You heard that right. PNJ. You wanna know what that is? A cursed fusion of PNGs and JPEG. I have never heard of it before up until this point. What the hell. Just use WebP at that point. Whatever lol.
My memory is getting worse I think. I found these medals. I remember getting them but I couldn't tell you which grade I was in or what the faces around me looked like. Just vanished. Without a trace. And I will never get that back.
cc: @murderandcoffee @heycerulean etc etc. LMK if you want me to stop tagging you guys, just wanted you to see my newest piece :)
Anonymous asked:
Your art is incredible, especially your glitchwork. Are there any artists you feel have inspired you, or made you want to learn the medium?
Maybe? I think it'd be a list too long to write out. I am inspired by many people, by the internet itself. I'm very forgetful to be honest so maybe I missed someone big.
However, the biggest inspiration I can think of right now is probably this tiktok channel (Don't judge!) That has these posts about god living in computers with these really well-written quotes with a Y2K aesthetic. Its really interesting and I'd give it a watch, however I cannot for the life of me find it anymore.
Please let me know if anyone here knows what/who I mean.
I suggest if you want to get into this sort of art, all you really need is GIMP- It is what I use and that is free. Then look up CRT monitor artifacts. Color Quantization (aesthetic and file size saver!), dithering, such as floyd-steinberg or Bayer. Get depressed (optional!), and just smash images together with layer blend modes and effects until they hit that spot.
Things you can also do: Circuit bending (extract juicy CRT monitor artifacts and other stuff), databending (with audacity), image compression artifact databending, print/scan loop artifacts.
Anyway I appreciate the compliments. You are the best!
EDIT: the tiktok channel/s are usually grouped under the hashtag and term "Divine machinery".
I have the sneaking suspicion that I can see which one of you are side blogs because I get an error trying to invite sideblogs to the community I have, as only main blogs are allowed to be invited. I don't know how significant this is to the average tumblrian, tumblerian, tumblronnigan, but i thought it was funny to mention.
I feared existence because I am one of billions. It took self-discovery to realize that I am okay with this. That I am still here. Myself.
