December 29
is the 12th 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 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.
After all the years I've been doing this blog, 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 an
#ArtOfTheDay post - something random from the Geeky Nerfherder image archives.
I'm active on the socials and also sometimes post bonus content there, such
as quicky reviews of the latest movies I have seen, and any
nerdy #NewSwag that I add to my collection as well. The
socials continue to gain new followers, especially Pinterest, Tumblr and
Instagram, even with the algorithms doing their damndest to limit any
visibility, with the number of followers 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
2023 has conjured up, and here are a few of my favourites from the past year
below.
