A friend sent me an email chain letter about this guy…I thought it was bullshit photoshop work at first until I found out this guy, Liu Bolin in China really does paint people from head-to-toe to camouflage them into the environment. (via DesignBoom)

One of my favorite bloggers, Nicky over at Monster-Munch got me kinda thinking that I’d like to try a Traveling Moleskin project sometime. It looks like fun.
