I recently stumbled upon Liu Bolin, otherwise known as the "invisible man", on the Internet. He is a chinese artist who paints himself to fit into a background, as if he wasn't even there. As a painter, I think it is absolutely fascinating how he can pick out a scene and paint HIMSELF to fit it perfectly. Painting yourself would be a very hard task, and I bet you would have to be flexible in order to reach all the spots on your own body. This man is for real - there is absolutely no photoshop or help. Also, another reason why I am so fascinated by him is because he is extremely unique - no one else does this. My favorite work of his is the one where the security guard is holding him, he truly looks invisible! Again, amazing...
