When I was younger, I really wanted a twin. I was kind of a social misfit and I would read a lot of Sweet Valley High books, you know, about twins Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield (Jessica was the evil twin, but really, she was good, just devious in the innocent way that girls in YA books are devious, which is to say ultimately she had a heart of gold, and they loved each other and were, like, an awesome team) and dream about what it would be like to have a constant, built in companion in the form of a twin.

Well, this photo series, capturing strangers who look like twins, gives me hope that maybe my twin is out there somewhere. We might not be biologically related, but we might look exactly alike, and discover that we have all kinds of things in common, things I always feel are specific to only me, like my rabid love of all things miniature and my weird fear of theft detectors in stores (I’m always afraid I’ve shoplifted and am not aware of it). The bonding!

The project, “Je Ne Suis Pas Un Sosie!!” (“I’m Not A Lookalike!”) by Montreal photographer Francois Brunelle has been circulating for a while. They don’t all look like twins. But a lot of them really do.

This Simon Beck guy makes alien crop circle style art by walking in the snow with snow shoes.

It’s kind of cool. You know. Whatever. See more pics on his Facebook page.

I don’t always care for this sort of thing but the results here are actually kind of spectacular.

A dad decided to colour in his kids’ pencil drawings.

He says, “I fly out of state to work 10 days out of each month. When I go, the kids give me pictures they’ve drawn. I color them on the plane and give the pictures back to them when I return. Nothing fancy.”

I hate false modesty.

If you’ve ever looked at a Thomas Kinkade painting and thought “You know, what this scene really needs is some stormtroopers or a walker,” then you’re in luck!

An artist who appears to be simultaneously named Roland Deschane and Jeff Bennett has gone and incorporated Star Wars characters and vehicles into Kinkade’s works, wreaking havoc and whatnot. And it is a joy to behold.

Check out the rest of them at Deviant Art.

Here is a video of a man snorting paint and shooting it out of his eyes onto canvas.

His name is Leandro Granato and he’s from Argentina. He looks very serious.
