Geeky Nerfherder 3rd Anniversary & My 2014 Favourites

I can't believe it's been three years since I started this blog! The first post was on this day in 2011. As always, huge thanks to everyone that drops by the blog and that you enjoy my posts of pop culture geekery.

I'm also on almost all the major social media sites too, although mostly Twitter, Instagram and now Tumblr. So if you’re not already following me, but want to keep up with blog posts and other ramblings, here are the links to my profiles on each of these sites:

on Twitter (@GeekyNerfherder)
on Instagram (@thegeekynerfherder)
on Ello (@geekynerfherder)
on FaceBook

And so, once again, it's that time of year, where everybody lists all their favourites of the past year. I have a big love of Sci-Fi and Fantasy, so I'm always going to be biased towards those genres. I've enjoyed quite a lot of the movies I've seen at the cinema this year, enjoyed the books and comics I've read, and also been in awe of a lot of awesome art this year.

Here is a list of some of my favourite things from 2014.

2014 HCG Artist Awards

It's been a great year for pop culture inspired art. And that's been seen nowhere better than at Hero Complex Gallery in Los Angeles, where they have exhibited art show after art show, showcasing the very best pop culture art works from some of the best artists, throughout the year!

And to honour and celebrate the awesome artists they work with, many of which I feature quite regularly on this blog, HCG have launched their inaugural Artist Awards. Rather than single out any one particular artist, they decided to to praise a few artists who went above and beyond. The criteria in determining these awards included:
  • Excellence in Art
  • A Passion to Create
  • Unique Artist POV
  • Continued Personal Growth
  • Strength of Character
  • Loyalty to HCG & Consistent Exhibition with HCG
  • Support of Fellow Artists & the Art Community at Large
And so, onto the inaugural HCG Artist Awards.
