Filip Hodas, AKA Hoodass, is a freelance 3D artist from Prague, Czech Republic, who does surreal and mind-bending renderings that are truly out of this world. But none of his work is as captivating as this series of decaying pop culture icons that provides us with a creepy glimpse into an alternative dystopian future. From a burnt out Pac Man and a defunct Hello Kitty to a litchen-covered Bender and a Martian Playstation space station, the artist uses well-known video games, fast food brands, cartoons characters and other recognizable imagery to litter the landscape of his pop culture apocalypse, providing us with a conflicting sense of nostalgia and foreboding. Which one is your favorite? Let us know in the comments below.

What makes these particularly effective (disturbing too!) is that they are still lit up. The power is still on!!
It probably still works correctly, as far as I know Nintendo products
This isn't apocalyptic, the new habitats on Mars seem to be in perfectly good working order as far as I can see. Everyone's indoors - the lights are on. I think I see the shadow of some kid playing in the window!
Why is Kyan De Catfish getting down votes. There's been nothing offensive in these comments.
If you are reading this, this idea is probably months old. I am a fourteen year old boy who comes up with ideas and digitally designs them. I want to work with you to see if we can make a deal with a movie producer to turn your apocalyptic drawings into a pop culture horror movie. It seems far fetched, but imagine being able to create a movie for millions to see. Contact me at 2694050525
there are more images like the no face, mickey mouse, sponge bob, poke balls, storm troopers and UFO one. The plot could be the world went mad for the pop culture, the icons getting more popular. Soon, they begin to worship them as gods and make monuments of them. But something goes wrong, and they go rogue, sending the whole globe into a panic. Groups of people are sent out on a space ship until the are forced to come back. The world is a graveyard of these once beloved creatures. Only the robotic monuments remain. As the the people explore, they find they are not alone. The monuments may be still active. And there is something living inside of them, something that looks exactly like the giants that were praised, all those years ago...

Kinda reminds me of the space ship that crashes that those kids lived in.....I think the show was called "100" maybe??
And the gnomes shall inherit the earth. And they will make houses out of happy meal boxes, and live in peace.
Apparently this apocalypse is the result of people wasting all the earth's resources making giant metal versions of popular everyday items. Real warning here.
Coca cola: we finally stopped pretending it's not industrial-grade paint stripper.
Love the new high rise and with the tanning deck in the middle is a brilliant idea to keep from getting sun burned.
very nice postapocalyptic feel. They are really wel integrated into the environment.
I don't really know why, but I'm getting shivers from these...
I am in awe. These are extraordinary works of art on so many levels. Just the *technical* competence astounds me, let alone the social commentary.
Why are you stating the obvious instead of appreciating the art?
