The Geeky Nerfherder 14th Anniversary & My 2025 Favourites

It's that time again! Today, December 29, is the birthday of this nerdy blog, beginning all the way back on this day in 2011 with the obligatory introductory blog post. Can't quite believe that I've been doing this geeky blog for 14 years!

 

From the beginning, the aim of the blog has always been to showcase inspiring, cool art and pop culture geekery, from alternative movie 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.

 

I don't have as much time to work on the blog as I used to these days, life sometimes getting in the way and all that, but it's still a lot of fun to curate, even after all these years; finding 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 (still working my way through the artist alphabet and currently at the letter S), as well as starting each day with an #ArtOfTheDay post - something random from the Geeky Nerfherder image archives.

I'm still relatively 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 knowingly post on the blog or my socials), the number of followers is still in the thousands! WOW! 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 in the books! There's still been more than enough good stuff to escape into a geeky and nerdy bubble with, despite everything 2025 has thrown up, and here are a few of my favourites from the past year below.
