Glitch screen. Moments so frustrating to any gamer and yet so beautiful and unique every time. Like a snowflake that you really, really, really hate. These glitches are only made on the Nintendo Entertainment System, the superior video game system. I photograph the glitches and then make them into paintings. All images are copyrighted.

Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt/World Class Track Meet
I have been trying to get to Minus World which is not as easy as it looks from the video below. This is the title screen for Super Mario Bros., Duck Hunt, and World Class Track Meet and it one of my favorite glitches since the Galaga glitches. The Galaga glitches were the first that I photographed because they were particularly striking to me. It was such a unique color palette and I liked the idea of an abstract composition being created accidentally and by a computer. I like the idea that it is a mistake. I am going to write my treatise on glitch art soon.
