The Geeky Nerfherder 13th Anniversary & My 2024 Favourites

Today, December 29 is the birthday of this nerdy blog, beginning all the way back, 13 years ago on this day in 2011 with the obligatory introductory blog post.

 

From the start, the aim of the blog has always been to showcase inspiring, cool art and pop culture geekery, from poster art, comic art, book and magazine cover art to the artworks on view from the latest new contemporary exhibitions, and the artists that create them.

 

The blog is still a lot of fun to curate, even after all these years; discovering the latest cool art, cover art, print releases and gallery shows, showcasing art from some of my favourite artists in my long running 'Artist Spotlight' series (working my way through artists A-Z and currently at the letter R), as well as starting each day with an #ArtOfTheDay post - something random from the Geeky Nerfherder image archives.

Although I've stopped posting to Twitter/X, and now posting on Bluesky, I'm still active on the socials and they continue to gain new followers, even with the algorithms doing their best to limit any visibility and with the influx of AI slop (which I will NOT post on the blog or my socials), the number of followers is still in the thousands! WOW! Thank you so much!! It's always humbling and amazing to know that other people are also enjoying the artworks I'm posting and hopefully discovering new favourite artists along the way as well. But if you’re not already following, here are the links to my social profiles where I post to:

So that's another year almost done and dusted! There's still been enough good stuff to escape into a geeky and nerdy bubble with, despite everything 2024 has conjured up, and here are a few of my favourites from the past year below.
