Last weekend (January 29-31, 2026), the interactive miniature art exhibit Godling, hosted by Martin McCoy (martin.mccoy.art), Shane Brockway (7he_blindman), and Joe Aquilina (armageddon_bound), was shown at the Selva Gallery in Brooklyn, New York City. In addition to creating a piece for the show, I was fortunate to travel to Brooklyn for a few days to see the opening, spend time with good friends, and meet new ones. I wanted to share some photos from the trip, including a picture of each piece of art on display at the exhibit.
 |
| Although delayed for almost two hours, I was able to take an Amtrak train from Baltimore to New York City. |
 |
| Shortly before the opening of the Godling exhibit, Tim and Martin finished some last-minute installations. |
 |
| There was a small plinth in the gallery where I could set my projector. I was happy to see that my slides displayed quite well, despite the well-lit room. |
 |
| The gallery space in Selva was packed on the opening night of the Godling exhibit, with people excitedly chatting and looking at the pieces displayed on the walls. |
 |
| Steaming Woodlands played an evocative set at Selva on the opening night, helping create a suitable mood for the show. |
 |
| I saw so many friends at the Godling exhibit. From left to right, top to bottom: Sterling (@sterlingxfrost), Gage (@noclearcoat), Terry (@stone.jaw), Steve (@sovthofheaven), and Witty (@wittlegoblin). |
 |
| Brooklyn was still encrusted with snow, unsurprising since the temperature never rose above 16°F. |
 |
| I stayed at a Vrbo with Martin, Shane, Eli, Kelly, Tyler, and Amber. It was not particularly well furnished or comfortable, but it did have a record player and a questionable array of old records. The highlight was the discovery of the American pop rock band Cock Robin, which became a running joke throughout the weekend. |
 |
| Shane reflecting (perhaps) on how the Godling exhibit was proceeding. |
 |
| On Friday afternoon, many of the people who came for the show met at OS NYC, a gaming cafe and bar to play Mario Kart, board games, and Magic: The Gathering. |
 |
When walking through Chinatown, I was pleased to see people marching in protest against ICE and advocating for the freedom of Palestine. |
