Meet Your Art Twin - My experience with GoogleArts selfie matching app

Meet Your Art Twin: #GoogleArts new "#selfie" matching app claims I look a bit like portraits of Jan van de Poll, Frank Jay St. John & Harold Ickes. Not sure I agree, but I find it quite amusing nonetheless!

“Long before the Google Arts and Culture app, which became the most downloaded mobile app over the weekend, art aficionados, dabblers, narcissists and soul searchers pondering a cosmic connection to distant humans have been searching for their art twins, a long-gone, sometimes fictional or unknown doppelgänger encased in oil, sculpture or ceramics.”
