There's a 37-year-old artist in China who can paint himself into anything.
Liu Bolin has been disguising himself to blend in urban or nature backdrops, creating the illusion of a human chameleon or a ghost.
He spends about 10 hours being painted for each work so he perfectly matches the background.
He paints himself all over toblend into the background of city scenery.
And the result is amazing. Check out some unbelievable images from his project 'Hiding in the City' in Beijing:

We are taking a close look at how this human chameleon transforms to blend into some of New York's most recognizable spots.
Lots of paint.
Assistants to apply it.
Paint in the eye --that must sting.

Test shots.
Hiding into Kenny Scharf's Bowery Mural at Houston and Bowery.

The work of Liu Bolin is currently on display at the Eli Klein Gallery in New York.
