Artist Makes Tree Disappear Into NYC Skyline With Paint

British artist Howard Lee, who previously made a cabinet disappear into a wall, strategically painted the middle section of a tree along the Brooklyn waterfront so it would perfectly blend into the NYC Financial District skyline across the East River.

This is part of Lee’s larger Tree Trunk 3D Illusion series.
