1. Smiley Forest — Oregon, USA
A forester planted larch trees among Douglas firs to create a giant smiley face visible every autumn when the trees turn golden. The natural artwork covers a hillside and can be seen from the air for miles around.
From one of our followers on Facebook:
“I work for the company that planted this. As the caption says, this is created by western larch trees (the yellow) creatively planted in a stand of Douglas fir. Unlike most conifers that stay green year-round, larch turns yellow in fall and loses its needles.
The smiley face is almost invisible in spring and summer when all the trees are green but makes a great showing in fall.

With this mural in the old, historical city center of Madrid I wanted to try a different approach. So I gave the viewer a new character of a yet unknown fairy tale. I have high hopes that it will encourage specially the young audience to come up with their very own story, in which the lead is a confident, black child in a golden wheelchair and in a self-made mermaid costume.

It’s a local road sign sometimes put up in Japanese neighborhoods where there are many stray or outdoor cats. The flying-cat graphics are just a playful way to show that cats might suddenly run across the street, so drivers should slow down and be careful.

These small interventions highlight the joy of noticing the overlooked and reshaping the mundane. Whether it’s a trash bin, tree, or bollard, nothing is safe from being googly-eyed — and we’re all better for it.

“The idea is people to have fun, to look for forms, developing their associative thinking. When one has that strive for creativity and the need to do it, my piece of advice is: follow your heart, grow that need, take good care of it… Then it will develop and bring inner satisfaction. And another piece of advice: don’t stick eyes wherever there are ones already.”

1. The Architect — INSANE 51 in Crotone, Italy
This stunning double-exposure mural shows a woman’s portrait seamlessly shifting into a skeletal x-ray when viewed through red and cyan filters. The final full-color version merges the two, with precise anatomical detail in the skull and ribcage rendered in cool blue and overlaid by a serene red-tinted face.

2. La Lupita — Emmanuel Cuevas Visual in Guadalajara, Mexico

3. Airhead — SHOK-1 in London, UK
A balloon floats upward—but this one’s no ordinary balloon. Rendered in smoky x-ray style, it’s shaped like a human skull. The artist is pictured holding the string, making the illusion complete.
4. Basquiat Tribute — By Banksy
This piece echoes the chaotic brilliance of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s signature figure, shown being frisked by two police officers. The skeleton-like character stands out in vibrant reds, yellows, and blacks, clashing with the grayscale officers.

5. Labels — By ItSkeletal
Seven skeletons stand shoulder to shoulder, identical in every way except for the chalked labels above them: white, black, straight, gay, religious, atheist, pirate. A visual reminder that beneath it all, we’re the same.

6. Radium — SHOK-1 in Le Locle, Switzerland
Painted on the side of a building in the birthplace of Swiss watchmaking, this mural by SHOK-1 features a luminous green x-ray of a hand delicately holding a pencil. Titled Radium, the artwork references both radioactive glow and the history of radium watch dial painters—many of whom suffered health effects from exposure. SHOK-1’s translucent technique draws attention to hidden systems, precision, and time, all central to the city’s identity.

7. Dino Skeleton — SCAF in Lorraine, France
A giant T. rex skeleton bursts from a crumbling wall, jaw wide open as if roaring. Painted with hyperrealistic shadowing, the mural interacts with a real red light fixture that looks like the dino’s eye.

10. Skull Building — Suitswon in Brooklyn, New York, USA
This abandoned structure’s windows and wear form the eyes and teeth of a massive skull illusion. The artwork is minimal but haunting, using the building’s erosion as part of the design.
