History PhD. Joachim Boaz maps the more esoteric inclines and declines of science fiction between 1945-1985. When SF tackles the greater morass of things and our oblique interiors he is happy. His website Science Fiction and Other Suspect Ruminations charts these movements. https://sciencefictionruminations.com/

@pyperkub Birthday posts are birthday posts -- that's all. For my actual tastes and discussion of SF, check out my site as I probably have said before. That said, most of the Niven I read was before I started writing about SF but space opera and "hard SF" tend not to be my wheelhouse.

@waarismijnhoofd Can't say I'm much of a fan of his work!

SFRuminations,
@SFRuminations@wandering.shop avatar

@waarismijnhoofd

I am not saying he is not a good artist. I am saying I do not care for his work because of my personal tastes.

I enjoy the more surreal/collage side of SF art -- Paul Lehr, Richard Powers, Anita Siegel, Wojtek Siudmak, Atelier Heinrichs et al.

I tend not to read comic books in any form. Not for me.

@waarismijnhoofd For things I enjoy, definitely check out the site. These are just birthday posts and as I do them year after year after year, I change up the art, etc. and it does not reflect my personal tastes.
