People finding their own art twins
Because, of course: Google has an app to match your face to a work of art.
But this is a different sort of fun, for spontaneous matching. Thanks!

There's an instagram hashtag for this -- #peopleundersigns. Just nothing but people who happen to match the NYC subway ads they are sitting under. It's awesome. Large numbers in action.

The "unknowingly" part of this is what brings the fabulous for me. Love it.

I followed his instagram for a while and this selection is truly the cream of the crop. It was clear following him that they weren't staged because only about one in five posts was really matching like these are. I love it when they're perfect!

This is so much fun, makes me want to keep an eye out next time I'm in a gallery.
