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.
One of many screenshots from movies, TV shows, and videogames set in Ancient Rome. For a semiotics proposal for a regular client — a company that makes action-adventure video games.
For a future installment in the series NOT TODAY, EBAY.
Max’s artist statement for Varispeed, a monthly event that they curate and host at Reforesters Laboratory, an adaptogen cafe and sound clinic in Williamsburg. Proceeds go to immigration agencies and trans affirming healthcare.
Logo by Karlie Flood for the GIVE IT UP project, coming to Kingston this summer!
Still interviewing commercial/applied semioticians from around the world for SEMIOVOX’s MAKING SENSE Q&A series.
A preview of the RADIUM AGE series page in the MIT Press’s Fall 2025 catalog.
Screen-grab for the UGARTE installment (May 2025) in an ongoing series on the meaning-structure of Casablanca that I’ve been publishing at SEMIOVOX.
Someone else’s photo of energy drinks. From a proposal for another semio project.
From yet another semio proposal, this one for a forthcoming videogame about sci-fi heroes.
I continue to remain semi-alert for opportunities to imitate my friends as we work on our writing projects in “the Space.” In this instance, I was imitating their absence.
A few Midjourney-generated images from May:
First draft of a card from a game / training tool project on which I’m collaborating with my semio colleague and friend Ramona Lyons. Fun!
Outtake from an effort to create illustrations for HILOBROW’s serialization (and my translation) of an excerpt from Noelle Roger’s Radium Age proto-sf novel Le Nouvel Adam. Coming in July.
Ramona and I also want to develop a game about British-ness codes.
