Artist paints himself to blend into background

Artist Liu Bolin, with help from a team of assistants, paints himself to perfectly blend in with any background—anything from stacks of books to a phone booth to a graffitied wall. The 35-year-old from Shandong, China spends up to 10 hours at a time perfecting his camouflage for a single photograph.

Check out some of Liu’s incredible work:

Does anyone remember that made-for-TV horror flick “When a Stranger Calls Back” where the killer paints himself to blend into the background? Maybe that’s where Liu got the idea.
