How to Be Invisible - Ultimate Guide to Privacy Protection & Online Security | Perfect for Digital Nomads & Personal Safety

Josh Cochran brings home the beautiful concept of camouflage and hiding in plain sight with his illustration that accompanied The Times Opinion article, “How to Be Invisible,” published February 7, 2015. The image is part of our collection of editorial illustrations being offered for the first time ever to the public as unframed or framed fine-art prints.

Author Akiko Busch writes, “Throughout the natural world, the capacity for camouflage and the ability to recede into the background come with lavish beauty and biological aplomb.”

The author adds that for humans, “Invisibility can be about finding a sense of fit with the immediate landscape, be it social, cultural or environmental. It can be about adaptability and the recognition that assertiveness may not always be in our best interest. Most of all, it can reflect a sense of vigilance, a sensitivity to and respect for external conditions.”
