Broken Bridge

Broken Bridge, a nice post-apocalyptic artwork by Ivan-Kashubo.

Apocalyptic Rain

A nice post apocalyptic city by Gkaster studio. I like especially the dog, the good old post apocalyptic companion.

Post Apocalyptic Evenings

Three more post apocalyptic wallpapers, which can be found all over the web. Though they are probably by different artists I’ll post them together, because they represent the same post apocalyptic view. Civilisation has gone and without any doubt the world is now a better place, a romantic one. Nature comes slowly back.

Beautiful Decay

Two beautiful post-apocalyptic paintings by the Swedish artist Andrée Wallin. It’s easy to be seen where the allure of such sceneries can be found.

London Futures

A new exhibition shows London landmarks in an environment transformed by climate change. From rice fields in Parliament Square to ice-skating on the Thames, 14 familiar views of the capital have been digitally transformed by illustrators Robert Graves and Didier Madoc-Jones. The exhibition runs from October until March 2011 at the Museum of London.

The Ruins of Barcelona

Albert Puntí is a Photographer from Barcelona. In one of his projects he shows well known buildings of his native city in ruins.



On his website he writes about this series: "This project’s aim is to reflect upon the fragility of human projects, and comes from two different ideas. Firstly, the idea that our civilization (as any previous civilization) will come to an end and, secondly, at a formal level, the treatment of ruins in romantic painting. In the 18th century, many painters aiming to improve their knowledge of Greek and Roman civilizations, traveled across different European cities, documenting the remains of these civilizations. In this project I have used the same three elements as them: ruins– vegetation- painter, with one key difference, which is the originality of this work: here, the traveler does not admire the remains of a previous civilization, but travels to the future to see what is left of his own."

Desktop Ruins

Two more post apocalyptic cities. I found them as wallpapers in the web. No idea what for they were made. But anyway it’s nice to see what people like to see on their desktop. Besides they are a good contrast to the garden follies from above. Despite they are follies as well.


Here we see once more the Brooklyn Bridge, indicating New York the heart of the apocalypse.

Post Apocalyptic Photoshop Tutorial

Ruins seem so trendy that there are even tutorials in the web to paint your own ruins with Photoshop.

How to Make a Dark, Post-Apocalyptic City Illustration
In this tutorial, we'll change a full of sunshine, ordinary photograph into a gloomy image of the world after destruction of mankind. Using simple tools, we'll turn lively streets into abandoned ruins overgrown with weeds.


Especially I like that confrontation between "sunshine, ordinary photograph" and "gloomy image".

It’s a wonderful page, and I notice a strong temptation to improve my own Photoshop skills to give my neighborhood a better look.

Post apocalyptic cities

There are a lot of pictures like these in the web, they are offered as desktop wallpapers. It’s a pity that normally nobody cares about explanations, if they are taken from games, movies or made by some artist.

Anyway I like them, and they provide a good idea of the latest mainstream of the interest in ruins.
