Before viewing this article, make sure you’ve seen part I, featuring 20 of the Invisible Man Liu Bolin’s earlier camouflage body art pictures.

Born in 1973 in Shandong and a graduate of Shandong Art College and Beijing’s Central Academy of Fine Arts, Liu Bolin became popular for his mastery at the unique art of camouflaging himself against virtually any background.

Every one of these cool photos takes up to 10 hours to prepare – Liu uses himself as a blank canvas, and with a little help from an assistant, he uses body painting to merge as seamlessly as possible with what is behind him. The results are incredible – sometimes passers-by don’t even realize he is around until he moves.

While his invisibility artworks are really mind blowing, he’s here with a message: “The situation for artists in China is very difficult and the forced removal of the artist’s studio is in fact my direct inspiration of this series of creative ideas, Hiding In The City…I am standing, but there is a silent protest, the protest against the environment for the survival, the protest against the state.” (Sources: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6)
