SCREENSHOTS is a monthly series of posts via which HILOBROW’s Josh Glenn reviews his most recent screenshots — before deleting them from the over-full Dropbox folder to which they’d been uploaded. Also see the PHOTO DUMP series.
Working on HILOBROW’s new RADIUM AGE ART series… File this example under UNKNOWABLE ALIENS, maybe? Detail of a painting shown here.
Also working on REPO YOUR ENTHUSIASM, a series about off-beat movies from the Eighties (1984–1993) that will run in 2Q2024. Adam McGovern, for example, is writing about Alex Cox’s 1987 revisionist-history movie Walker. Detail of a poster shown here.
Contest announcement I generated via Midjourney, then tinkered with in PPT. For the HILOBROW series MÖSH YOUR ENTHUSIASM, edited by Heather Quinlan.
Rewatching Star Wars IV: A New Hope for the umpteenth time, more or less frame by frame — as I prepare to deliver a few remarks on the topic of liminality in fantasy narratives at Semiofest: Porto this spring.
Lawry Hutcheson’s annual LINOCUT series returned to HILOBROW this month…. Detail of a linocut print shown here.
Detail of a cover of Thomas M. Disch’s Camp Concentration — one of the latest installments in my SEMIOPUNK series here at HILOBROW.
Another new HILOBROW series coming in 1Q2024: FIRST TIME AS COMEDY.
Detail of a (c. 1935–1940 photo of a) diorama of radium being loaded onto airplane. From a series, planned for the Spring, that will explore the New York Public Library’s Digital Collections.
Detail of a diagram from the Voynich Manuscript. For an installment in my ongoing SCHEMATIZING series.
Recent Amazon.com review of the UNBORED DISGUISE KIT I helped to create back in 2015. Nearly a decade ago…
HILOBROW friend Rick Pinchera and I have a running aging-hipster joke: “Real band coming to Boston soon, or did I have a generative AI app create this?” The joke being that today’s band names sound as unlikely to us as our favorite bands’ names sounded to our parents.
A LinkedIn post announcing my talk at the upcoming Semiofest in Porto (Portugal) in May….
