I'd love to play in a house filled with balloons, but this is not it. Artist Ciaran Brennan painted this house so that from the right angle, it looks like there are gaping holes with balloons pouring out of them.

This Tehran building mural is so well-executed that I had to take a moment to digest that it was a work of art and not some impossible, kooky architectural design. Located in Iran, this piece cleverly relies on an optical illusion that will have the residents doing double-takes.
 
Unfortunately, there is not much more information about the Tehran building mural besides where it resides. Check out the featured gallery to get a glimpse of this interesting artwork.

Building work is going on the corner of the Portland Street and Charlotte Street block in Manchester. Instead of scaffolding protected by plastic sheets, technological advances have led to giant photo montage reproductions of the actual building being renovated underneath.
 
Shop signs are then mounted on top, as we see here with the Ciao Bella and Ocean restaurants. This also goes around the corner where there is a giant advertisement hoarding the top of the mural, which is a shame.

This painting entitled “Original Sin” was created by SOKRAM for the DesOrdes Creatives Festival in Ordes, Spain. He effectively used the structures of the building like the doors and windows to create an illusion of depth in the painting.
