    This one's a little more obvious, but no less impressive.

    Is Liu Bolin the dragon...or is the dragon Liu Bolin?

    Camouflaging is second nature to certain animals, but Bolin proves that he, too, can blend in with trees and dirt.

    Just another street in suburban China? Not quite.

    This may look like just another tourist attraction, but that's because "China's Invisible Man" is doing such a great job.

Camouflage Body Paintings: Marvelous or Meh?
You!
Add Photos & Videos
They say art comes in many forms -- and that may or may not include camouflaging. Liu Bolin, also referred to as "China's Invisible Man" is an artist who specializes in camouflage body paintings. He picks a place, studies its every detail, and then produces body art that allows him or a model to blend in with the environment in the most natural way possible.

His work is definitely not considered traditional art, but we think it's pretty awesome. From supermarket aisles to suburban Chinese streets, look through the slideshow to get more familiar with his unique work. And let us know if you think it's as marvelous as we do.

    I like it. I'm currently working on a painting that is, like all my work, weird. I think I'm going to work Moliere into it, instead of Jefferson. Maybe I'll do one of Jefferson on a bike.

    It looks awesome and clearly takes a LOT of prescision and care. Definitly not easy. Besides Art is a pretty wide topic....I could take a pop on a plate and somehow call it Art. Some art is very very good thoug, and I think this IS art since it requires skill and besides, it's new and creative. Not a lot of new nd creative things nowadays require such care with a brush.

    You said "Anyone can use photo manipulation software."

    Anyone would include 'you.'

    So I'm telling you to go ahead and do it, since its so easy.
