Impressionist Me, Now Me
You may have heard about Young Me Now Me, a fun Ze Frank thing. After discovering the painting of Georges Emile Lebacq below (thanks Patrick) and it’s remarkable likeness to my visage, we at FFFFF.at developed something with a little more dignity and class, it’s called: Impressionist Me, Now Me.
Get out that new digital camera you just unwrapped, do some hunting online and get into it.
Here’s the rules:
1. Search commons.wikimedia.org or other sites for a historical painting, drawing, or early photograph that looks like you. (It’s easier than you think) It doesn’t have to be an impressionist painting, that’s just what we started with.
2. Create a photo of you today where you recreate the pose and scene as best you can. Try to dress the same.
3. Put the two images side by side and upload it into the comments!
Here’s some to get us started:
Georges Emile Lebacq and Steve Lambert
Becky Stern
Van G and Jamie W
Michele Meets Dora Wheeler
Van Gogh and Evan Roth
Nate Graham chills with Diego Rivera
Claire Jervert and unkown

steve added these pithy words on Dec 22 08 at 11:33 pm@Claire, good point. You’ll need to upload the photo online somewhere and then use the img tag to place it here. Or you can email it to me and I will add it.
