There's something sort of depressing about Benjamin Button-ing yourself via YouTube, but the result is pretty neat nonetheless. This video was created by Sam Klemke, who has documented his life for the past 35 years. He's now edited it down to around 6 minutes—which ends at the beginning of his project, in 1977. (And yes, he does make it to New York during all that time.) Watch him go "from a paunchy middle aged white bearded self deprecating schluby old fart, to a svelt, full haired, clean shaven, self-important, inspired but clueless 20 year old."
Klemke is a caricature artist, and has an auto-bio/Graphic novel out titled Party of 1, in which he documents his life as he travels across the Globe alone.
If you like this type of bittersweet, nostalgic documentation, you may want to revisit Jamie Livingston's life on Polaroid; he documented his life from 1979 to 1997, up until the day he died. (And of course, there's always this guy.) [via Laughing Squid]
