This isn't the sort of thing I usually post, but I saw this guy in the paper yesterday, and since then he has become my new obsession. Liu Bolin is from Shandong in China, and here is part of his latest series, Hiding in the City. He paints himself in order to blend in with the surroundings, then takes pictures I guess. I think they are actually amazing.

Wow! That is really quite amazing.. You'd obviously have to be rather talented to blend in that well. I like the fact that you have to kind of look at the picture twice to really see him. Very clever (:
