The Pop Apocalypse By Filip Hodas (8 New Pics)
13Kviews
Pop culture tries to sell us the image of joyous consumerism, happiness, fun, and perpetual excitement, all of which create the illusion that the experience can be propagated to infinity, and everything lasts forever. They lack a reflection that these images, even in the most optimistic scenarios, are bound to end somewhere, sometime.
This is why Czech artist Filip Hodas’ works are so sobering and outstanding. They take us to a place where the happy imagery of popular cartoon and movie characters is far gone into decay and abandoned. And seeing these characters at their demise gives far greater contrast to our now somewhat idyllic present time than just seeing a random abandoned place. Well-known in the present, yet seemingly forgotten in the future—it gives an extra tinge of the apocalyptic sense.
It isn’t the first time Hodas’ work has been featured on Bored Panda. Here’s the first part of his works on this theme. He has also done 3D renders of anatomically correct animated characters, which also have been featured here. His works are much-appreciated elsewhere as well, and his Instagram account has over 580k followers.

It's confirmed: SpongeBob has an immortal smile
I think all that stuff looks like it belongs in Star Wars especially with where they are
All that graffiti on Bart Simpson and not one "El Barto"
I really love these. The apocalyptic feel is just perfect, and it reinforces the idea that nothing ever lasts forever. All of this stuff looks like it belongs in a futuristic video game, it's so realistic and dark. My favorite is definitely the first one, the color is beautiful and scenic. Slightly saddening to realise that yes, everything we've built will eventually look like this in a couple thousand years...
These are very dark and disturbing, I really like them.
oh WOW
Well done.
it's good 3D work
Kinda sad to think that all the cities we've built may all be nothing in a few million years...
soooo cool
These are great. Especially liking the storm trooper.
I love this. It's fcking amazing.
we have a coffee shop nearby that has 3 of these pictures hanging up... makes me wonder if they know the people/person who created these wonderful artworks
These are awesome. I wonder if they can be sold as posters to frame or is there copyright infringement problems?
Click on the red name “hoodass” under any of the photos and it takes you to their website.
The artist will have the copyrights to the artwork and any images of them, I’m pretty sure they will have prints available in their website.
