Occasionally you find something on the Internet that’s so inexplicably awesome that all you can do is smile and try not to question it. I have no idea why artist Brandon Bird has painted portraits of Shia LaBeouf as each incarnation of the Doctor from Doctor Who, but he has. And they’re great.
If you fancy one of these on your wall, then rejoice, because Bird is selling them via his website — there are prints (for a modest $10), or you can splash out on one of the original oil paintings. Otherwise sit back, have a jelly baby, and meditate on which Doctor/Shia was the best. (Yes, it’s the fourth, obviously, although I’ll go into bat for the third any day of the week.)
