While reading A Cup of Jo the other day I was tipped off to a really interesting artist, Liu Bolin. The Chinese artist’s work consists mostly of photographs of himself, but with a twist. Not only is he a photographer, but also sort of a painter. Bolin actually paints himself to blend into his surroundings, creating an invisible man effect in his photos.

Amazing work. Personally, I don’t think I’d have the patience to do this, as his works can take up to 10 hours just to prepare a single shot. I would love to learn more about his process creating these images.

How creative. Don’t think I’d have the patience either
Definitely a very cool idea, and he’s so detailed about it!
