We talk with Martin and Shane about their successful interactive miniature art show: Godling! We discuss what went well, what they would change, and what is to come.
Red Emma's was a perfect place to hold a DIY event like this!
Over the weekend, Shirkerism, a Baltimore-based arts and culture zine, and the District of the Damned wargaming club held an event showcasing art, zines, and miniature gaming! It was held at a Baltimore icon, Red Emma’s, a worker cooperative bookstore, cafe, and community events space since 2004. The event featured a lot of amazing artists, including our friends Daniel Hassell (draugr._), Molly of the Skirkerism fame, and Martin McCoy (martin.mccoy.art). There was also a host of gaming tables set up to play the mech combat game Flames of Orion.
Below is a digital representation of the interactive miniature art show Godling, hosted by Martin McCoy (martin.mccoy.art), Shane Brockway (7he_blindman), and Joe Aquilina (armageddon_bound) at Selva Gallery (1329 Willoughby Ave, Brooklyn) between January 29 and February 1st 2026. All the narrative text for each piece is included, along with some additional pictures, so you can participate in the event yourself!
