The Reverend Howard Finster was twenty feet tall, suspended in darkness. Or so he appeared in the documentary film that introduced a teenaged Greg Bottoms to the renowned outsider artist whose death would help inspire him, fourteen years later, to travel the country. Beginning in Georgia with a trip to Finster’s famous Paradise Gardens, his journey—of which The Colorful Apocalypse is a masterly chronicle—is an unparalleled look into the lives and visionary works of some of Finster’s contemporaries: the self-taught evangelical artists whose beliefs and oeuvres occupy the gray area between madness and Christian ecstasy. With his prodigious gift for conversation and quietly observant storytelling, Bottoms draws us into the worlds of such figures as William Thomas Thompson, a handicapped ex-millionaire who painted a 300-foot version of the book of Revelation; Norbert Kox, an ex-member of the Outlaws biker gang who now lives as a recluse in rural Wisconsin and paints apocalyptic visual parables; and Myrtice West, who began painting to express the revelatory visions she had after her daughter was brutally murdered. These artists’ works are as wildly varied as their life stories, but without sensationalizing or patronizing them, Bottoms—one of today’s finest young writers—gets at the heart of what they have in common: the struggle to make sense, through art, of their difficult personal histories. In doing so, he weaves a true narrative as powerful as the art of its subjects, a work that is at once an enthralling travelogue, a series of revealing biographical portraits, and a profound meditation on the chaos of despair and the ways in which creativity can help order our lives.

We’re all just infinitesimal specks on a rock hurling through a giant black hole. We all know it. Whether we’re consumed by an enormous tidal wave, bombarded with falling meteors, or ravaged by a new incurable disease, the end is near. So the penultimate question is: Would you rather a) drink alone in your room and brood or b) color? Well, good news. Now, with this adult coloring book, you can do both! Artist Ted Rechlin offers thirty-eight apocalyptic scenarios for you to color, question your mortality, and come to terms with your insignificance! Awesome! Scenes vary from a gorgeous shot of the NASA space station being sucked into a black hole to an elegant portrayal of the next Ice Age. Also included are beautiful depictions of zombie uprisings, picturesque plagues ravaging the human race, aesthetically pleasing aliens plotting to destroy planet Earth, and much more! To add some irony, each illustration is accompanied by an optimistic quote: envision “‘Be thou the rainbow in the storms of life. The evening beam that smiles the clouds away, and tints tomorrow with prophetic ray.’ —Lord Byron” as tornadoes tear through cities around it. Or what if it’s all a dream and we’re just brains in vats? What if nothing’s tangible and the world around us is all just perception? What if all that you love doesn’t exist and is only simulated? It doesn’t mean you can’t color! So embrace your inner nihilist, and the reality that you might not be sticking around too much longer. Pick up your colored pencils and The Apocalypse Coloring Book. You’re going to need a way to cope when things start to go downhill.

The world has been remade in winter and twilight, and life in Victorian England will never be the same again. These three short stories show us a frozen apocalypse and two very different paths to salvation. While communities grow embittered with each passing year, struggling to keep themselves alive, the enigmatic Afflicted hunt down what survivors are left for purposes unknown. From the radical steampunk pioneers The Catastrophone Orchestra and Margaret Killjoy comes a foray into and out of madness.

The inspired madness of America's apocalyptic and pre-millennial organizations may have reached a fever pitch with the turn of the twenty-first century, but intrepid cultural traveler Alex Heard spent a ten-year period witnessing the crescendo firsthand. Heard's enthusiasm led him on errands as diverse as being a voyeur at a Republic of Texas militia standoff, accompanying an expectant UFO "greeting party" to a remote field in Minnesota, and enacting the grief of the California quail at an ad-hoc therapy group for fierce environmentalists who believe the earth is an actual living entity that's preparing to kill off its human population--and soon...or at least pretty soon. Amazing as it may seem, however, throughout this trenchant subcultural travelogue, Heard never stoops to ridicule his subjects. As one reviewer puts it, "Heard's real achievement may be that he makes us care--in a way that is more than voyeuristic--about the colorful characters he meets on the road to the new millennium. He takes these people seriously, allows his assumptions to be challenged, and lets himself find that some of their beliefs and fears reflect his own" (San Jose Mercury News). Apocalypse Pretty Soon will appeal to science fiction fans and students of subcultures, as well as anybody interested in way-out alternatives to the brave new world.

Now in paperback, this book will have an audience well beyond "millenniamania," from science fiction fans to students of subculture, and anybody interested in way-out alternatives to the brave new world. -->

From the author of Direct Watercolor and The Urban Sketcher, as well as the popular art-blog CitizenSketcher.com.Marc Taro Holmes is an internationally collected, award-winning watercolorist, and an elected member of the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour and the Society of Canadian Artists.He is also the creator of social media watercolor painting marathon #30x30DirectWatercolor2019. An open call to anyone, to paint thirty paintings in thirty days in the month of June. The APOCALYPSE VARIATIONS is a collection of Marc's paintings from the 2019 event. The book is both a love letter to watercolor painting and a darkly pessimistic rendition of contemporary landscape painting.Unlike his previous books, this is not a how-to for beginners. This is Marc's first fine art monograph. An art book in the old tradition. You will find large reproductions of the paintings, paired with close-up detail shots and preparatory sketches. In the text, Marc discusses the thinking behind the paintings with complete honesty. It's likely that lovers of his previous work will be surprised at his new direction. Or perhaps not, if they have been following Marc's social media and reading between the lines.Please, do not purchase this book expecting Marc's chatty online-instructor-mode full of helpful encouragement for aspiring artists. There are no tips-and-tricks or self-training programs. For that sort of thing, please visit Marc's website CitizenSketcher.com.This book is meant as inspiration to anyone seriously interested in expressive watercolor painting, or, for fellow studio artists dealing with the issues of painting in series and making relevant contemporary work. > Please note: Some readers with a strong preference for image brightness and contrast, or the ability to zoom, may prefer to experience the Amazon Kindle e-book edition on a full-color tablet, laptop or personal computer. This paper edition is for art book-collectors who want a hard copy in their library. It is a self-published title printed on Amazon's standard, white, 100gsm paper with a glossy card stock cover.

Our favourite white trash zombie, Angel Crawford, has enough problems of her own, what with dealing with her alcoholic, deadbeat dad, issues with her not-quite boyfriend, the zombie mafia, industrial espionage and evil corporations. Oh, and it’s raining, and won’t let up. But things get even crazier when a zombie movie starts filming in town, and Angel begins to suspect that it’s not just the plot of the movie that's rotten. Soon she's fighting her way through mud, blood, bullets and intrigue, even as zombies, both real and fake, prowl the streets. Angel’s been through more than her share of crap, but this time she’s in way over her head. She’ll need plenty of brainpower to fit all the pieces—and body parts—together in order to save herself, her town, and quite possibly the human race.

This book fills these gaps in a striking and original way by means of ten concise thematic chapters which explain the origins of these concepts from the book of Revelation in an accessible way. These explanations are augmented and developed via a carefully selected sample of the ways in which the concepts have been treated by artists through the centuries. The 120 visual examples are drawn from a wide range of time periods and media including the ninth-century Trier Apocalypse, thirteenth-century Anglo-Norman Apocalypse Manuscripts such as the Lambeth and Trinity Apocalypses, the fourteenth-century Angers Apocalypse Tapestry, fifteenth-century Apocalypse altarpieces by Van Eyck and Memling, Dürer and Cranach's sixteenth-century Apocalypse woodcuts, and more recently a range of works by William Blake, J.M.W. Turner, Max Beckmann, as well as film posters and film stills, cartoons, and children's book illustrations.
