Maybe this has been done before, but this artist's work is so mesmerising, and the attention to small details just makes it. Fulvio Obregon, a Columbian graphic designer, has created imaginative illustrations for his project "Me & My Other Me", a collection of work depicting celebrities in the present day, next to their past selves. Obregon has included big stars such as Al Pacino and Robert de Niro, but among the actors is Steve Jobs, Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney.

,The development of these people is incredibly drastic - more so in some than others. Take Michael Jackson - from the cute kid in Jackson 5 to King of Pop, and needless to say the change in appearance is notable. Not only this, but his work gives us some insight in what these people were like before their time with the stars - Steve Jobs is probably the best, with his Toy Story T-Shirt and long-ish hair. Something I noticed was a lack of women in his work- but seeing as he has only done 7 artworks in this collection, this can be overlooked. I particularly love the way the two people are standing together, how the poses can make it look like a father son photo shoot, two mates together, or in some of them they look like rivals. These are just in time to fit in with 'Back to the Future Day' - it's always good to look back and see what has and hasn't changed.
