Life imitates store shelves as artfully attired Chinese artist Liu Bolin blends into a display of soft drinks at his Beijing studio August 10. Assistants later painted him to complete the illusion.

In a previous life I did work for Eastman, who make a good proportion of the worlds supply of PET used in the manufacture of plastic bottles. What a legacy.
