When you first glance at a piece of Liu Bolin's work you can't help but wonder what the big fuss is about. But if you look closely you will find a man painted to blend in with his surroundings... talk about a human chameleon. Two of Liu's assistants paint him as he stands against a background, whether it be a shelf in a store, or a mural on a building. The process can take up to 10 hours before they even get the final photograph.

A woman laughs as she pushes a shopping cart past artist Liu Bolin, who is painted to blend in with the vegetables on the shelves at a supermarket in Beijing. Liu, also known as the 'Vanishing Artist'.

Check out the photo's below and see if you can spot him. Some of them are really hard!

    Swoon! Ever since the event was first teased, I've been wondering if Konatsu would be bringing any of her super cute watercolor illustrations to myplasticheart for her solo exhibition. Well, the above imagine indicates a firm "yes"!

    While he's much more than the parts that make up his identity, mix Lisa Frank, Trapper Keeper art, and some hallucenagenic materials, and you've got a good idea of where Mikael B. is coming from.
