FLOOD Vol. 1

$70

In FLOOD Vol. 1, an astronaut returns to an Earth completely submerged in water. Armed with nothing more than an inflatable flamingo, he embarks on a modern-day Robinson Crusoe odyssey. In the vastness of the sea, he discovers remnants of human civilization, which in this new, post-apocalyptic world often lead a strangely ironic existence. With creativity and a dash of humor, our astronaut defies both the minor and major daily challenges, proving that a calm sea has never made a skilled sailor.

The FLOOD universe is continuously expanded with paintings, drawings, and books to further narrate the story of the red astronaut and his discoveries. The hardcover book “FLOOD Vol. 1” showcases over 25 paintings from the ongoing FLOOD series. It includes many ultra-close-ups for those who want to delve deep into the artworks. The introduction was written by the charming Elizabeth Leigh, a staff member of Beautiful Bizarre Magazine (Australia), and is the perfect prelude to the subsequent visual flood of colors and textures.

FLOOD Vol. 3

$75

THE FLOOD SHOWS NO MERCY … but our astronaut keeps going. In this third volume, Claussen pushes his post-apocalyptic odyssey further with over 40 new paintings, blending humor, irony, and a gentle breeze of darkness.

The ever-expanding FLOOD universe grows wilder, weirder, and more unpredictable. Three years in, our red-suited hero is still wandering, collecting, failing, adapting — and always finding new ways to make the apocalypse look fun. Looney Tunes logic meets doomsday prepping, and childhood nostalgia collides with political satire. Inspired by everything from water guns and video games to existential paranoia and the chaos of modern life, Claussen’s vibrant, textured works come with a deep, knowing wink at the madness of the world.

This book isn’t just a collection of paintings — it’s an invitation to see disaster through different eyes. Because if everything is going under, the only thing left to do is laugh and keep swimming. The perspective-giving introduction was written by Andreas Claussen.
