Sometimes people ask me what my favourite artwork is.

Without a doubt, it's this piece フェンス (Fence) by J.R. Higashi Nihon (the JR stands for Junichi Ryu) from 2022

It speaks to me on so many levels

The Mouse has spoken

Screenshot of NES game Adventures in the Magic Kingdom. Mickey Mouse is sharing his thoughts on freedom of speech. The text reads "oh boy! Profits rise when voices fall silent. They call it censorship, I call it marketing"

Funny, I don't remember that part of the game.

I don't remember the process exactly but it's not very difficult.

You know you can databend the .GLIC files it in a hex editor to get a lot more glitches too.

It's not something I've played around with much, but the glitches are pretty unique.

Here's the tutorial if you wanna watch it.

Skip to about 46 mins if you don't want to listen to me yapping

I finally learned how to use GLIC, following @tokyonomad.bsky.social's FUBAR tutorial :D

Got a HUGE amount of images to work with for my next piece.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

GLIC's always a good time once you figure it out and start finding your own sweet spots with the settings.
