Wallpaper of the Week

I hate Microshaft Access… And my boss asked me to “meld” two databases together… I skimmed through Access classes in Uni and I never touched it again… Hopefully it’ll all come back to me in due time 😦

Anywayyyyyy it’s time for Wallpapers of the week!!!

This week’s is inspired by a very famous painting. I found this painting and some funny variations of it and I had never saved them… Thing is that i didn’t know the artists name!! It took me a lot of searching but in the end I found out that the Artist’s name is Edward Hopper and the painting is Nighthawks.

These variations were made by fans.

Facts:

– “Nighthawks is a 1942 painting by Edward Hopper that portrays people sitting in a downtown diner late at night. It is considered Hopper’s most famous painting, as well as one of the most recognizable in American art. It is currently in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.”

– The television series That ’70s Show,[20] Dead Like Me,[21]The SimpsonsRocko’s Modern Life,[22]and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation[23] have all placed their own characters in versions of Nighthawks.
