Someone's always telling us the Apocalypse is right around the corner. First, there was the Heaven’s Gate doomsday cult, then the Y2K freaks, and now, John Cusack. Of course, we know what spectacular bullshit the first two were, so don't spend your life savings on an underground bunker in prep for 2012 yet. ASU MFA candidate Dain Q. Gore used his belief in the End Times a little more constructively, as inspiration for a series of surreal apocalyptic oil paintings currently on display in the solo exhibit “The End Is Ever Nigh.” "I want to believe that the end will happen the way I depict it, because it's so spectacular and epic it would be quite a show to behold," says Gore.
