Sandra Holmbom (aka Psycho Sandra) is a 26-year-old Swedish makeup artist. On her blog (

Liu Bolin, a young Chinese artist, has found a unique way to protest the government's decision to close his art studio in 2005. He paints himself to blend into the scenery, like a chameleon. There is no trick photography involved, and he doesn't use photoshop. Instead, he spends about ten hours studying a picture and painting his body so that people don’t even realize he is there until he moves.
The Telegraph online has a pretty good gallery showcasing his images, but you can easily find more thanks to
Google.
