Over at Bored Panda, a lady named Becca Saladin takes some portraits or sculptures of famous people of the past and transposes them into modern settings, clothing and hairstyles.
Some are more interesting that others, as not everyone from history who had a pristine and realistic portrait painted is all that well-known. Although it is kind of fascinating how a 21st-century Ben Franklin looks a little like Anthony Hopkins and a little like Ian McShane.
Most of the responses were positive, although there was a bit of wondering why Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco, needed one of these kinds of updates considering that she was a modern figure already.
(PS -- As expected, Calvin's master plan to use his duplicates to trim his academic load has not gone well. Will his mother discover what he has done? Will he be punished five times over, for things he didn't even do?)
