Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" (1942) is one of America's most recognizable and parodied artworks.
I spent today, which happens to be World Hamster Day, re-painting a copy of Nighthawks to incorporate hamsters. It was a lot of fun making this project, including tightening up a few details to make the picture more hamster-centric and setting up a really nice colour palette for the hams.
If I had any craftsmanship, I'd sure want to build the diner to hamster scale and populate it with the rodents as in the illustration. I guess I'd have to fasten them to their seats to get the Hopper composition, but that would likely anger everybody especially the hams.
