There appears to be nothing you can't do with Photoshop, and trends about photo manipulation have been buzzing of late, be it "real life Homer Simpson" or the what celebrities really do look like.
I came across this set of images where photoshop has been taken to the max - but in reverse. Someone has taken the time and effort to make the world's most popular celebs look like the walking dead. Love it. There are over 20 featuring everyone from Brad Pitt to Madonna. Is it just me, or does Madonna look the same?
I have to say, I much prefer the UK domestic violence campaign which made celebs look like they were victims themselves - though to be honest, I am not sure if this is make up or photoshop.
