The Geeky Nerfherder 11th Anniversary & My 2022 Favourites

December 29 marks the 11th anniversary of this nerdy blog, beginning all the way back on this day in 2011 with the obligatory introductory blog post. So, Happy Birthday Geeky Nerfherder!
 
The aim has always been to showcase inspiring, cool art and pop culture geekery, whether it's poster art, comic art, book and magazine cover art or art from the latest new contemporary exhibitions, and the artists that create them.
 
Even after over 10 years, it's still a lot of fun to curate; 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, and starting each day with #ArtOfTheDay - something random from the Geeky Nerfherder image archives. I'm also trying to add more reviews of the books and movies I read and watch over the year too.
 
I'm active on the socials and also sometimes post bonus content there, such as the #OnThisDay feature where I post some of my favourite films, books, comics and shows that were first released or published on a particular date, and any nerdy #NewSwag that I add to my collection as well. The socials continue to gain new followers, especially Pinterest, Tumblr and Instagram, and especially since a certain person bought a certain micro blogging company, with the number of followers now in the thousands! WOW! Thank you so much!! It's 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:

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 2022 has conjured up, and here are a few of my favourites from the past year below.
