Marilyn Manson (whose legal name is Brian Warner) is gracing the cover of PAPER this month, but there’s a real surprise inside the magazine. That’s where Manson’s dad, Hugh Warner, is shown dressed all in black, wearing full face makeup that mimics his rockstar son’s signature look (and ends up looking a bit like Heath Ledger’s Joker).

Photographer Terry Richardson shot the spread for the magazine and, on his website, included some unpublished photos of the unlikely age-gapped doppelgangers. The most humorous one shows Manson covering his face in apparent embarrassment as his dad flips the bird and grabs his crotch. 

According to the feature, Manson laughed about his elder’s matchy-matchy look, saying, “That’s a good Ghost of Christmas Future.”

True artistry that truly pushes creative boundaries is a rare thing. Known best for his ongoing series of self-portraits which showcase his visually stunning makeup achievements, New York City artist and photographer Ryan Burke has proven that he’s in a boundary-pushing artistic class to himself.

According to a 2013 interview with Burke in Huffpost Gay Voices, he shoots these dramatic photos of himself as a way to document his life. He says, “I started photographing my looks before going out as as way of preserving my work. When you spend three to eight hours putting together your face and outfit, an iPhone picture just doesn’t seem like enough.” After capturing the photos, he can be found flaunting his artistic creations in the New York City nightlife scene much like the early Club Kids who influenced him.

On his website, he states, “The portraits I create express a perspective on human styling that does not rely on conventional clothing, hair, makeup or accessories but rather an aesthetic derived from the use of unusual materials and makeup to create otherworldly personas.”

‘Otherworldly’ indeed, take a gander.
