Has Vincent van Gogh risen from the grave? No zombie Vince yet, but James Birkbeck’s van Gogh self-portrait in-real-life could make you think that.

So what inspired this van Gogh makeover? Birkbeck tells MyModernMet: “From what I have read about Van Gogh, his personality was similar to mine (except I’m trying to make myself into more of a positive person these days). So I decided it would be interesting to make myself look even more like him by making myself look like one of his paintings. I actually look more like Vincent’s brother Theo, oddly enough.”
