or A Picture Paints a Thousand Words but Doesn’t Satisfy the Editor When You Miss Her Deadline<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 As we considered our forthcoming first birthday, we realised how many images we had posted. From the very beginning we decided to make all our own memes, ads and general graphics ourselves. For some reason. So we thought we’d remind you, especially if you didn’t see them in the first place.<\/p>\n

(They also say that every picture tells a story. Our story may be that we can’t usually afford an illustrator)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"jlgad5\"<\/a>
a typical up-beat promotional image<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here are some of the memes and ads we sort of liked from the last year, with eye-watering detail as to their creation (no, not really)…<\/p>\n

Book-covers are always fun. Here are some of our prized titles:<\/p>\n

\"a<\/a>
a genuine tribute to the thin white duke<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"our<\/a>
our most handy guide book<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"our<\/a>
our paranormal romance epic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We started making thematic graphics to liven up the times when we ran a series of linked features as well.<\/p>\n

\"borderland2\"<\/a>
our month-long hope hodgson festival last october<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"strangersea7a\"<\/a>
the stranger seas series on the nautical weird<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"scarywomen2\"<\/a>
female horror writers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We had views on suitable musical tastes…<\/p>\n

\"stayyoung\"\"hplcd\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And on the importance of social media.<\/p>\n

\"socnet1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We never forgot about the writers…<\/p>\n

\"authorbun\"<\/a>\"coffeesupport\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The editors…<\/p>\n

\"travisletter\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Or the lurchers.<\/p>\n

\"bottles1a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We shamelessly self-promoted…<\/p>\n

\"greyad1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We dropped hints about our characters…<\/p>\n

\"sandra's<\/a>
sandra’s first pony<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"lightninman1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And we shared our belief systems.<\/p>\n

\"glassdilemma\"\"credo1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We even undertook serious analysis of horror films:<\/p>\n

\"sushi\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But in the end, it was always all about the longdogs…<\/p>\n

\"djangotrump\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And a committment to weird fiction…<\/p>\n

\"mammothy1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So don’t say we didn’t try! And at the end of the month we’ll pick the best art by real<\/strong> artists from the past year.<\/p>\n

Back in a day or so with news, views and things that ooze…<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
