Post Apocalyptic Proa



This illustration by Michael Schacht is one of my all time favorite examples of proa art. Several years ago, Rhisiart Gwilym and Michael Schacht decided to enter a short story contest - Rhisart did the writing and Michael did the illustrations. The story would be a distillation of ideas from the novel he was working on - a post apocalyptic tale of how life might be after the Great War - if things turned out well. It was a vision of a semi-nomadic tribal culture which had returned to the old shamanic traditions of ancient Albion, and it also involved bee-keeping and proas and mysterious silent, black triangular flying craft of enormous size.

    ...and not left us with the atrocity of "Waterworld"...
