Top-performing posts
The three posts pulling the most engagement in the last 90 days.
carousel 5.41% engagedSWIPE LEFT <---- Jan / Feb / March 2025 and Aug 2026 Alcohol marker illustrations on A3 Bristol Board. Experimenting with colours, ideas and vibes mostly in those creepy swampy inspired cyberpunk and horror. Variation in techniques from pencil sketching the ideas first, blocking out shapes with the markers and then going in with the outliner and filling in after. The difference between which outline pen used also has a massive variation in out the artwork looks visually and stylistically. Sakura pens give this much more polished and rigid feel, over Pilot which give a looser and heavy bleed style outline.
carousel 3.30% engagedMourning The Decay of Living ( PT2 ) Painting creepy mechanical letters that morph like they've taken a spaceflight on the Event Horizon, and cyberpunk goths with swords from the start of the year. Hiding under bridges from rain and freezing temperatures. Not sure why the cold seems to motivate me to paint more, those summer sunshine rays seem to hilt productivity on the painting sides of life.
carousel 2.99% engagedMourning The Decay Of Living Crawling out the mutated waters of a yorkshire canal and into the dystopian backdrop of a cyber punk hell scape. I wasn't happy with how the previous mechanical design had come out in green at @houseskatepark and decided to bring the @southbanksheffield grey colour back for this wall with @dingdong486dx The battle armour seem's to have progressed from a stab vest to medieval armour lately, the haunting robotic skeleton crawling from the deep as Mila K stands; evaluating, in all her black and white prowess.

Strategy summary
What's working, what to fix, and what to ship next.
TL;DR
Cyberpunk carousels crush it, with post 8 hitting 271 likes on marker horrors, far above the rest. Deep captions unpacking process and themes fuel comments too, like 12 on post 12 for a collab fest poster. Yet 1.6 posts/week starves growth at 5.6k followers in this visual niche. Pillars split cleanly: street art 35%, cyberpunk 30% lead feed. Retrospectives build loyalty but low cadence wastes momentum. Street murals with tags spike interaction, post 13's duo with DY zon got 142 likes. Biggest leak is inconsistency; cluster posts drove twin highs like posts 0-1. Prioritize frequent cyberpunk drops on weekends to double engagement.
Working
5- Carousels average 2x likes of images, post 8 peaks.
- Storytelling captions on process lift comments, post 23 has 17.
- Collabs and tags in murals boost reach, post 12 excels.
- Cyberpunk pillar owns top engagers, 271 max.
- Retrospectives hook loyal fans, posts 1-3 cluster well.
Risks
5- Boost cadence beyond 1.6/week to sustain algorithm.
- Vary non-carousel posts; images underperform.
- Shorten some captions over 250 chars for quicker reads.
- Post more tributes; post 29 got emotional pull but low views.
- Fix phone photo quality in street art shots.
Ship next
5- Ramp to 3 posts/week with carousel retrospectives.
- Batch cyberpunk pillars for weekends.
- Tag more collabs in street art posts.
- Test image singles for quick character shares.
- Track engagement on marker experiments.
