I decided to browse through Google Images to see whether I could fulfill your artistic request. I’m treating this as a fun easter-egg hunt. (And no, I have nothing better to do right now.) I’ve come pretty close to a few match-ups. Check it out…
Still life with porridge and egg
Perhaps you should be aware of Richard Lewis, reknowned painter of breakfast masterpieces such as Le Petit Déjeuner (only $695!) and Breakfast (a bargain at only $275). Get ‘em while they’re hot. They’re going like hotcakes.
Lady picking nose and eating it
There is plenty of exquisite art out there capturing the pasttime of “digit-employed nasal clearage” in various styles such as this and I found one of someone picking his nose while smoking and a man picking his nose while eating it but alas, it’s not a painting but the real thing. Somebody just needs to paint him. Then there’s Exorcism of the Phantom Booger which is bound to be in the Louvre very soon. But for some reason artists always depict the guys scratching their nostrils, not the gals. Down with sexism! I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before one pops up.
Sunset with zombie hoard
I came close with this painting of a man whose skin is falling off at sunset. Must it be a hoard, or could you settle for just one zombie at sunset?

Glen: I am flabbergasted! Excellent work. And why does nobody paint porridge? It’s a funny old world.

We were talking about your list over dinner with some people who make art (no painters, unfortunately, but you have to make do with what you’ve got), and there was great enthusiasm for one idea (slightly misheard) - ‘Sunset with zombie whores.’ The people at dinner suggested that it would definitely need to feature one accounts executive with an expectant expression, while the zombie whores approached!

Conor: “The people at dinner suggested that it would definitely need to feature one accounts executive with an expectant expression, while the zombie whores approached!”
Whoa! Zombie whores? Oh my. Now we’ve just pushed it up a notch, haven’t we?

Conor and Glen: Better cut down on the caffeine, boys. Way down.
