Dutch artist Ard Gelinck has been Photoshopping images of iconic people alongside their younger selves, and the results are nothing short of fantastic. It makes me wonder if the celebrities he’s done are flattered or furious, but either way, the images are certainly memorable. They made me feel quite nostalgic about movies and TV shows I used to love.
It’s remarkable to me how seamlessly Gelinck manages to combine the images, making the combinations seem more like posed photos than mashups.
You can see all of Ard Gelinck’s wonderful work on Instagram andย Facebook.

Really good work. He knowes what he is doing. I did something kinda like this by cropping out my #3 son and pasting in my late husband for a 50 year photo which we really didn’t have. Not as good as these but it saved the day.

I love how affectionate the younger and older selves seem for each other (even if that affection is manufactured).

The photoshopping is very well done. I agree about the nostalgia and some of them are also poignant.

The Robin Williams one made me so sad, I couldn’t bear to include it.

This is, apparently, an old post of yours, but I just found it and the comparisons are so interesting.
