As I happened to mention in Rollick's suicide post, I was really obsessed with nuclear war as a kid. I wrote stories involving it, invented games simulating it, and drew lots and lots of mushroom clouds. In the process of moving boxes around to make room for a server rearrangement tonight, I came across two of my old paintings. They were supposed to be part of a greater 'Scenes from the Apocalypse' series that remains unfinished. These would have been done when I was 16ish.

I present Nuclear War and Nuclear Winter. Both are acrylic on block of wood. Note the cute before/after motif. I'm actually rather proud of the second. Probably the best visual art I've ever made -- which obviously isn't saying much.
