Camouflage Art by Liu Bolin

By Alex in Arts & Crafts, Pictures on Aug 27, 2008 at 12:09 pm


No, that’s not photoshoppery – Chinese artist Liu Bolin covers his subjects head to toe with paint to camouflage them almost perfectly into the background.

    reminds me of Addams Family Values when Wednesday is spying on the nanny, Debbie, and does the same type of camouflaging against the wall of the room.

    Kind of a waste of time when you can just Photoshop something similar. Especially since most people will assume it was Photoshopped anyway.

    Jimbo: Yeah, if your sniper was never going to move from one spot, or if your sniper has room in his pack for a hundred outfits, and the scenery will never change.

    It's art ! I think it's nice... most art is "pointless" if you look at the "usable" side of the thing. Anyway, great post ! =) I'd like to be able to do that... beside the girls' locker room is all the same color, so it should be easy to.. hummm...
