The flora and fauna of today no longer resemble that of the post apocalyptic Earth. There are regions completely devoid of plant and animal life. In a world where survival reigns supreme among man and beast, certain species have evolved. Rats and thingyroaches thrive in the billions and their body size has significantly doubled. Canines have endured but the dog once known as man’s best friend has re-evolved into one of man’s deadliest enemies. Stray dogs are everywhere, all of them gone wild, and most beyond taming.

I thought it would be interesting if upon their arrival into post apocalyptic Manhattan, Wez and his marauder gang obtained caged dogs and wolves to enslave for manual labor and other purposes.



Dog/Wolf Cage. This took one day's work. I’m really proud of it because it’s exactly as I visualized it. What remains is to construct a working lock mechanism. Another identical cage is in progress; Unfortunately, production has been halted because I’m unable to find the correct type of copperwire to finish strapping the wooden bars together.

I wanted to capture the essence of this cage as a prison for these dogs/wolves. The spikes and wire mesh pieces were intended to make it more savage and brutal.
