Photoshop artist Ard Gelinck decided to use his expert photoshop skills to create a “before” and “after” photo with a twist. Instead of putting photos of artists through time side by side, he has merged the photos so it looks like the artists are hanging out with the younger version of themselves.
A sign of a true artist is one who withstands the tests of time. These icons look just as bold and stylish now as they did when they were emerging in the 70s and 80s.
Check out our favourites from the collection below.
Freddie Mercury
Freddie once said in an interview: “I don’t worry about my age because I know I look beautiful anyway…” He looks like a young Mercury’s hot dad in this pic and he is right, he looks beautiful in both.
Madonna
Madonna then and now having a cackle together. Those blonde locks and iconic style are timeless.
David Bowie
Later in life, Bowie adopted a more elegant and refined look. These two looks might be worlds apart but Bowie was a light who shined bright at all ages. He might not be with us anymore, but his music and legacy continues to shine and inspire.
The Spice Girls
If we had a time machine, we’d definitely create this superband. Here are the Spice Girls as they were then alongside the women now reuniting twenty years later.
Michael Jackson
MJ’s image was constantly changing. He was a star from his Jackson 5 days up to the end of his life.
Tina Turner
Tina Turner’s hair might have gotten a lot smaller, but she looks just as radiant in her later life as she did back then.
