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:

Lots of paint.
Assistants to apply it.
Paint in the eye --that must sting.
