Michael Jackson has had a roller coaster ride of popularity throughout his lifetime. He began as a beloved child star when he became a member of the Jackson 5. He was a cute little black boy with a giant fro who's voice and imagination was something to be reckoned with. Due to his childhood fame, Michael lost out on many of the typical experiences that come with growing up. He was forced by fame to grow up quickly and because of this, he became crazed with creating a child-like lifestyle for his adult self that included strange relationships with young boys and a dramatic change in appearance. Micheal Jackson is infamous, not only for his alter in skin color, but for the questionable behavior that caused some fans to question his sanity.
I chose to glitch Michael Jackson because of the way that he started his life so positively and seemed to gradually become confused with who he was as he grew older. The fame and spotlight caused a "glitch" in the course of Michael's life, and this can be seen by the stories that have been told about him and of course by his decision to change from black to white.
I think these glitches turned out exactly how I imagined. The glitch gets more prominent as he goes through the skin color changes because he seemed to get more confused about who he was as a person towards the end of his life.
