Camouflage Artist Channels Solid Snake

Camouflage Artist Channels Solid Snake

Chinese artist Liu Bolin is as good at camouflaging himself as Solid Snake, but without having to wear any futuristic technology that hasn't been invented yet.

The next time you're in China and you see the silhouette of a see-through man in the distance, you may be staring at Chinese artist Liu Bolin. His portfolio gives us a taste of what someone wearing Solid Snake's OctoCamo [http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/OctoCamo] might look like in the real world.

Bolin's camouflage work consists of photographs of himself in front of various backgrounds, from a cannon [http://www.ekfineart.com/html/Detail.asp?WorkInvNum=3339&whatpage=artist], where he appears to be painted in a certain way to blend in. He's not quite as good as Solid Snake, only being able to sneak up on someone from a particular angle, but if you happen to be at that angle you'd be in for a fright.

My favorites of Bolin's pictures are when he here [http://www.ekfineart.com/html/Detail.asp?WorkInvNum=3332&whatpage=artistfull]. Let's hope his photos won't cause a time paradox. Booooooooooooooooooolin!!!!!

Wow that guy is truly talented.
I love the ones where he paints himself to look like a ghost with the other people.
The digger one is by far the best though, it's the only one that I actually had to look for him.

Not to rain on this incredible guy's work, but I saw this in the Metro about four months ago Still impressive though.

 

[Jim Grim]

Wow! Wait, did he paint himself, or... Who did the painting?

 

[Kollega]

[Incredible Bullshitting Man]

That's awesome!

I want one!

Edit:

I looked at his othr art,and look at this one:

Spoiler

Yes, he is in there somewhere.

It actually took me awhile to find him. That´s damn impressive.
When I grow up, I wanna be a camouflage artist, just like Bolin, and scare the crap out of innocent passers-by.

clicked on the links: I don't see anything! Is this guy even in the pics, or is he just Fucking with us?

/sarcasm

Sorry about that. This shit is actually pretty awesome.
