An artist, Russell Young, has superimposed the features of celebrities on the photos of Myra Hindley and Ian Brady. Myra and Ian were convicted child killers.
Russell wanted to communicate his message that celebrities practiced hedonism. It was an expression on the observation of the self-destructive behaviors of some celebrities.

Child-killers: The original pictures of Myra Hindley and Ian Brady taken in 1965

Images of the celebrity couple were superimposed on the original mugshots using computer technology and then printed on canvases with alternate gold and silver sheens.
The pictures were exhibited at the London Art Fair in Islington, North London, where many onlookers were convinced they were the original depiction of the moors murderers.
Now all four images have been sold by the Bankrobber gallery for what is thought to be £28,000.
