ATL Nighthawks at the Diner

This work is a subtle homage to Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks, but with an energetic hometown twist. The piece is meant to capture the buzzing vibe of a busy weekend night, with stories unfolding in each direction you turn. Featured in the booth to the left is a depiction of OutKast duo Andre 3000 and Big Boi, seated symbolically in front of the jukebox. This mural is an ode to the diner culture of the city, honoring
Waffle House as an iconic staple of Atlanta.
