#glitch skull

[robsheridan]

I’m thrilled to finally have my original analog glitch skull back in print today after the first edition has been sold out for years - here’s a first look at the actual print and all its remastered details:

This has become an iconic image for my work and for analog glitch in general, as it was my first piece back in 2012 that paved the way for my analog glitch work with How To Destroy Angels and the beginning of a new fine art movement of VHS/CRT glitch that is thriving today more than ever.

For these tenth anniversary editions I went back to the original photographs (captured at high speed off the screen of an old CRT television) with everything I’ve learned over the years about mastering analog glitch for print, and the results are crisper, more vibrant, and more true to the original vision than ever before.

In the close-ups here (these are all photographs of the print itself) you can see a couple elements I’m proud of that were always very hard to preserve in print, like the subtle glow of the skull, which displayed as increasingly tiny bits of light on the pixels of the screen dithering out to black:

Every pixel of the CRT can be seen on the print until they disappear into the black, creating a glow that is soft from a distance but rich with texture up close. I strive for the very highest fidelity of low fidelity!

The first of these new editions were on display at last year's Glitch Art is Dead show for their proper 10th anniversary in 2022, and now they’re finally available: Four analog glitch anniversary editions out today (including the Welcome Oblivion vinyl album cover piece), personally signed/numbered, limited to only 30 copies!

Next month I should be able to share photos of the first-ever premium canvas editions of this work (available for pre-order now), which give it the large format fine art presentation I have always dreamed of.

All of my limited edition prints are personally signed/numbered fine art giclée prints on archival matte paper, printed by me to personally ensure the finest museum quality on 308gsm German fine art paper at ultra high 1440dpi print resolution, and packed/shipped worldwide with care by my wife Steph from our home studio in Tacoma, WA. Every print comes with a signed certificate of authenticity and an exclusive sticker.

Good morning everyone :)

Today starts with clouds and rain but I’m oddly energized and ready to go, maybe because I was flipping some switches in my brain last night. A lot of my work seems to be aspects of me processing information, feelings, events, and putting what I learned into my creations, probably as a reminder.

The piece above is a prime example of that I think. Lots of major changed going on in my life and head, but all of what I do feels at half power, or less…why why why, I always wonder… I’m rebooting, reformatting, trying to upgrade and move forward, but, always something lacking…so, why express what I feel should be and see what happens? Not that I planned it, but, that’s what came out. Understanding usually comes post creation for me, and not always right away.

ugh,  so far still to go on so many things…the technical side of skills, the personal side of understanding and expressing, the biz side of survival and hopefully one day success…

Just hoping I got the power to get through it all.

Have you all met my pesky husband? He told me how ugly the place was, negged me for a week, and then proposed. He winds up in the medical tent after every fight and gives the wettest kisses.

Listen, I know the ToS remaster is full of bugs and glitches

But you have to admit

This is the funniest glitch in the whole game

It's like

It's literally this fucking meme khzsjfkhdlqz

tired: the bats are so weird and creepy and everyone else is always so normal compared to them!

wired: impulse started fidgeting so hard he just started vibrating and clipped halfway through the floor and part of helen's foot before he realized what he was doing. this is just a normal tuesday

inspired: superman, superboy, and supergirl are sitting together in midair having a mild-mannered midwestern discussion as to which of their nonpowered combatant friends has the most fucked-up looking bones. several of said friends are in the room and really wish they wouldn't do this

I'm bored! I want to draw! I don't know what to draw! You know what that means!

Send a palette and a character!! I'll list the fandoms I'm in in the tags, you can also request my OCs :D

I'll try to draw all requests but don't be sad if yours doesn't make the cut, I can only draw so much ^^"

credit to @shima-draws for the palette sheet!

The tempests and storms that lurk just beneath Halsin's skin; how ferociously he defends those who cannot defend themselves; how protection and defense is sometimes messy and blurry and blinded by fury even when coming on the heels of passion; how he chooses to be placid and calm and gentle - how he insists that violence is not always the answer - but poke the bear one too many times and he will maul you, no hesitation.

Good morning friend :)

The link between my art and inner world has been vivid at since I got back to LA. Sparks leaping between metal prongs in my head, no rest at all. All the projects I want to do, all the tasks I need to do, all the walls and barriers and moats between me and the things I need, family stuff going on, existential horror at the consequences of my failure, pressure everywhere, ground shaky, just, intense.

What to do when this happens…I have no real good advice, I try and get the vibes out, try and rest, take my mind off things, but so many prick their pins through my thin sheets of protection and pop my moments of calm.

Grit my teeth and bear it…all I can do…my gas tank has been on empty for so long in so many ways, but I know what I want, even as dark as it’s gotten, eve as dark as it is now…there’s no signs for where to go or directions on how to get there…just my gut.

Facing into the fears, confront and finding common ground, something, anything to find something solid under a foot, in my hand, that I can pull myself up and out of where I’m at.

I can say this piece is minted on Rarible but by some fluke, glitch, more like, no one can buy it and I can’t burn it, so, all I can do is laugh and make more…

Hope y’all have a great day!
