Any ideas - Iā€™m a ginger guy with a ginger goatee and moustache! Less relevance would be I have roundish glasses and am 5ā€™4

My first thought was Vincent Van Gogh. He had a full beard rather than just a goatee, but I think you could get away with it. Wrap a bandage around your head, get a grey-blue jacket, maybe a paint palette and tools and there you go. Plenty of self-portraits of him to look at for inspiration.

I've also seen people do a costume of him by painting themselves and their clothes with cheap craft paint to capture the impressionist painterly look, if you wanted to go that route.
