Groves of Glitch
Don’t say I didn’t warn you – I said there would be more of this carry-on to come, and here we are. I didn’t quite expect it to come this quickly, but there will be no complaints about that. This little spike in productivity is very welcome.
First, we have these concoctions above, trying to take my previous post onward and into a 3D space. They aren’t really up to much at the moment but who knows, with someone clever texturing and arranging lighting they might have something going for them. As it is, the sphere arrangement just reminds me of the Chupa Chups display in sweet shops – temptation aside, that’s not really a bad thing.
On that mention of texturing, here are a couple of late additions; it’s the same basic principle, only with rounded branches and a snazzy steel finish:
I broke that down a little more with the next set, removing the branches and coming to floating shapes housing the tree’s image; in this case, said image comes from a post I made way back in 2017.
Finally, introducing the old favourite, the glitch effect; this time done with layers and layers of lines, each with different colours:
The first actually seems to chime quite nicely with the original and its setting. The yellow is perhaps a little loud, but who’s worrying about that? I’m pretty good at messing things up in general, so it’s rather surprising it’s taken me this long to embrace the glitch effect in my work. It’s fun.
I’m liking that glitch effect. It has a sort of urban/industrial/midnight feel to it that comes to my mind. You’re right about the Chupa Chups! Love those displays, and you’re in good art company too as Salvador Dali was the designer of the Chupa Chups logo 🙂

Thanks so much! I’m enjoying the gritty aspect of these experiments. I forgot Dali did the Chupa Chups logo! It’s a brilliant design, positioned perfectly. Those displays are charming, but also a little cruel – I mean, all those flavours practically reaching out to you!!
