30 Classical Hollywood Stars Colorized By Russian Artist Klimbim

Published 5 years ago

Olga Shirinina, aka Klimbim, is a Russian artist who is known for colorizing old photos of Russian history, ranging from the times of the Russian Revolution to World War II. Recently, however, the artist tried something different and gave a handful of black & white photos of Hollywood celebrities colorful makeovers.

The artist tackled some well-known portraits of celebrities from the Golden Age of Hollywood and gave us a unique glimpse at what they might have actually looked back in the day. See the colorized photos of Hollywood stars like James Dean, Grace Kelly, and Marilyn Monroe in the gallery below! And if you want more, check out the works of Marina Amaral and Mario Unger here and here!

One day, this guy just kind of figured - "I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?" - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that's trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that's too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!

Got wisdom to pour?
