"Twinsies": Portraits of the artist as you

April 2, 2013 / 3:49 PM EDT / CBS News

Cheyne Gallarde

To thank supporters who donated to his "Universe of One" project on Kickstarter last year, photographer Cheyne Gallarde offered a unique gift - a portrait of himself posing as the donor. With the help of makeup, wigs and costumes, Gallarde created uncanny self-portait copies of photographs submitted by his fans. The resulting side-by-side images were such a hit that he has now set out to create a second round of these "Twinsies" which he plans to turn into a book.

Read on to see some of our favorite "Twinsies" and learn more about the project on Gallarde's Kickstarter and Facebook pages.
