Wise is an artist who creates new video game art on [existing cartridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rayman-30th-anniversary-edition). This particular product is called 'Bad Breaker,' which borrows from the television series Breaking Bad. The artwork is in 8-bit form, which is a tribute to the original NES artwork. The actual cartridge itself is a random NES cart used as a recycled art canvas. The game inside is still playable and each cart is completely randomized. For NES and Breaking Bad fanboys, this may be a great piece to add to your collection.
