    Passing a video camera in front of these paintings and then editing the resulting footage together with some loud Wagnerian music would be about 100 times more entertaining than anything Roland Emmerich has ever made.

    In the second image I seriously doubt that Bamboo Reef Sharks would be in such deep water. Furthermore, in the...

    Oh who am I kidding? These are stupid cool and probably more entertaining than sitting through that movie.

    @Grey_Area: It looks like the water has just swept into the city, hence the trucks still floating around with their lights on. The poor sharks were probably swept in by the water. As soon as the water settles they will find a better place to live.
    These pictures are amazingly cool. They are my kind of end of civilization.

    I still own and cherish my copy of "20th Century Foss," the artbook put out by Dragon's Dream Publishers, which also put out beautiful and glossy books by Roger Dean, Syd Mead, and many others, back in the mid-70s and thereafter. (Time for a Dragon's Dream retrospective article / gallery, mayhap...?)

    Yay, Jodo! Factoid: the new Metabarons GN has a lengthy sequence by AWOL WildC.A.T.S penciller Travis Charest, which is beyond awesome. The two of them on one book hugely rule.

    Many of Jodorowsky's ideas for Dune were folded into his comics, like L'Incal and Metabarons. L'Incal is an utter braintrip, in the best sense of the word. Totally worth a read.

    @FrankenPC: Oh, that is so unfortunate. I managed to hold on to my copies of 3 of his books. I never got the star liners book unfortunately, but I had the spacecraft, spacewars, and spacewrecks. Someone is doing a revival of the storyline that ran behind these for an RPG.

    @Zenuflecked: the ones you mean by Stewart Cowley?
    I have them - Spacecraft 2000-2100, Spacewrecks, Great Spacebattles and the Spaceliners one.

    Foss wasn't actually involved with this series.. the work by other artists is very similar tho.

    Edit
    Forgot to note there is a Spacewars book, that is Spacecraft 2000-2100 and Spacebattles in one Edition.
