Can’t see me!

From Spiderman to Superman we have all dreamt of having our own mind blowing superpowers. Sadly we cannot all be like Clark Kent, so for now we can only continue to dream and watch X-Men DVD’s.

But for one man, he has gotten pretty close to this reality. Say hello to ‘The Invisible Man’.

Who is this mysterious ‘Invisible Man’ you ask?

His name is Liu Bolin from Shandong, China. Do not underestimate each picture; he puts in up to 10 hours of hard work to paint his outfit to blend with the background. No Photoshop involved– this is the real deal!

“…it’s what is not seen in a picture which is really what tells the story,”

Why does he do this? As sign of protest against the Chinese government, who shut down his art studio in 2005, simply because he is a young passionate artist.

Can you spot him? I think the bulldozer picture is the best one.

  1. I totally agree. I had the hardest time finding him in the machinery one…started thinking he wasn't even in there. This guy is amazing.
