These illustrations really do draw the eye in. At first they look normal in every way but they all show a specific message to them. Polish illustrator Pawel Kuczynski cleverly uses satire to portray todays social, cultural and political reality.

Liu Bolin: Camouflage Art

You may of seen some of Liu Bolin's pictures before, or maybe you just didn't realise. Born in 1973, Liu Bolin graduated from the Shandong Art college and Beijing's Central Academy of Fine Arts. He quickly became widely known for mastering the art of camouflaging himself against virtually any background. 


One single photo takes up to 10 hours to prepare – Liu uses himself as a blank canvas, and with a little help from an assistant, he paints his body to merge as seamlessly as possible with what is behind him. The results are incredible – sometimes passers-by don’t even realise he is around until he moves.
