Photographer Andy Alcala gives us a unique twist on self-portraits with this mesmerizing series. Here, he uses his own face as a canvas, painting it with recognizable artwork by legendary greats such as Vincent van Gogh, Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol. (There’s even a Banksy!) I love the originality in this series. Alcala’s creative mind is certainly serving him well.

Someone once said that death is not the greatest loss. The greatest loss is what dies inside of us while we live. I could tell you who said it, but… who the hell really cares?
It all just seems so fake, the idea that good things happen to good people and there’s magic in the world and the meek and righteous will inherit it. There’s too many good people who suffer for something like that to be true, there are too many prayers that get unanswered. Every day we ignore how completely broken this world is and we tell ourselves “it’s all gonna be ok, you’re gonna be ok”.
But it’s not ok. And once you know that, there’s no going back. There’s no magic in the world.
— Haley James Scott, One Tree Hill (season 7, episode 21)
