New Orleans Ruins 438-new-orleans-flood-dixon –Future fishermen ply their trade amidst the flooded ruins of New Orleans after the icecaps melt. A science fiction illustration depicting a speculative, flooded future where an ornate wrought-iron gate is submerged in a bayou-like waterway. An alligator swims past the moss-draped ironwork in the foreground, while a futuristic fan boat carries two occupants down the river channel. Dense, overgrown vegetation and swamp trees swallow the ruins of old stone buildings and brick facades under a bright, partly cloudy sky, evoking a post-apocalyptic Southern Gothic atmosphere. Acrylic and gouache, 1983. © 2005 by Don Dixon.
