Hopper's Nighthawks in LEGO (x3)

Edward Hopper started to paint his iconic "Nighthawks" immediately after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. I don't know what Alex Eylar (AKA Profound Whatever) was doing the night he started these LEGO vignettes, but the result is brilliant.

There have been many parodies and variants of this painting over the years. Alex, has added three in just a matter of days.

Here's the first, rather straightforward version...

...then the zombies attacked...

...but then the space police arrived, vaporized everyone, and restored order to the universe.
