This is one of my favorites! I appropriated Van Gogh's Starry Night and reimagined it as if it had been painted in the 21 century. I adapted his beautiful stroke-like style (but with oil pastels rather than paint) and recreated the gorgeous scene in the background. However, I covered it with all of the fast food restaurants and chain stores we see in today's cities to comment on our new-found fascination with consumerism.
