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.
Detail from Miró’s “The Tilled Field” (1924), for HILOBROW’s RADIUM AGE ART series. Fun fact: A slightly different detail from this painting was used as the cover illustration for a 1970 Penguin edition of Orwell’s Animal Farm.
“Just my sort of thing, and I love rediscovering old sci-fi classics.” — Alison Flood, writing about Francis Stevens’ The Heads of Cerberus collection in the September issue of New Scientist. The Heads of Cerberus is at bottom right.
I’ve continued to interview my commercial semiotician colleagues around the world for the MAKING SENSE series of Q&As, new installments in which appear regularly at HILOBROW’s sister site SEMIOVOX.
During September, I finished assigning installments in the forthcoming HILOBROW series MACGYVER YOUR ENTHUSIASM, which will focus on favorite TV shows from 1984–1993. Can you name this show?
Excellent exchange, earlier this month, between New York Times Deputy Opinion Editor (and a former Boston Globe colleague of mine) Patrick Healy and Times Opinion columnist Michelle Goldberg.
Unintended visual echo on HILOBROW’s homepage, from 9/15.
Detail from Sasquatch Sunset, a movie I wrote about for the HILOBROW series FIRST TIME AS COMEDY.
Image from Adam McGovern’s in-depth conversation with Bowie- and Kirby-obsessed graphic novelist Con Chrisoulis, published at HILOBROW in September.
Detail from a photo illustration for MEXICAN PINK, the final installment in COLOR CODEX — a series, written by 25 semiotician colleagues of mine from around the world — that was cross-posted to HILOBROW during 3Q2024. Essay by Adelina Vaca, who is based in Mexico City.
My writer’s group, “the Space,” continues to meet nearly every weekday.
