The Day After Tomorrow: Eerie Concept Art Depicts Earth After The Apocalypse
I like to introduce you to the dark visions of Noro8 aka Norbert. He is an artist from the UK who specialises in digital art and photo manipulation, with a very special interest in post-apocalyptic wastelands.

His art conveys visions from his mind’s eye and they are dark and gritty and devoid of hope. Continue reading »

“The brave and wise Khalkhas live along the mountains in the south of Xinjiang and are companions with the eagles. They regard eagles as their children and train them for many years to hunt.
