Emperor Judy Hopps of Zootopai by Kendall Collins

Source [1]

There’s been a lot of Zootopia fan-art over the years that makes reference to obscure subjects, but this one really gets out there. It shows Judy as Emperor Norton I, an eccentric character from San Francisco’s Barbary Coast days, who in 1859 proclaimed himself “Norton I, Emperor of the United States”. He later assumed the secondary title of “Protector of Mexico.” Norton who had suffered a breakdown following failed business venture, was actually a much beloved figure in old San Francisco. (The local stores even honored his scrip.) Much later his name–and his-face–became the emblem of a line of sourdough snacks.

And so by decree of Judy I, emperor of Zootopia and Protector of Bunnyburrow, we do solemnly declare this collection of artwork open. And further command all citizens forthwith to show the original artists some respect by clicking on the source-links.

Get your art after the break!
