This is a book of artwork by Doug Waterfield, Professor of Art at the University of Nebraska, Kearney. Waterfield holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design, a Master of Arts in Art History and A Master of Fine Arts in Painting. He began teaching art in 2000. His paintings are nostalgic in nature, hearkening back to the olden days of Hollywood horror and science fiction. Having been a lifelong fan of these genres, Waterfield channels his love for the bizarre fringes of society into his art. His Doomtown series takes a look at the effects of atomic testing on American culture, and how the country came to terms with Cold War fears by "domesticating" the bomb into giant insects space aliens and mutated men. He hopes that his work will bring a younger audience to appreciate some of the more strange aspects of the history of popular culture in America.
