Maurits Cornelis Escher

Dangit Bobby*, I hadn’t seen this one for nigh unto forty year! Yes, and seeing this the other day smacked me right back to childhood, when I was first blown away by Dutch artist Escher’s amazing, calculated mirror-surface studies (as above), impossible 3D designs (small sample below), and pleasant, hypnotically-interwoven pattern-morphings (further down).

* Hank Hill from King of the Hill, wandering in to Appalachia, I guess.

Run (don’t walk) if this genius’ work is somehow unfamiliar to you:

Would Banksy approve this “tesselation?"

Right, and this is an ENTIRELY inadequate posting about an artist I have huge admiration for, but really, I just wanted to share “Puddle,” as it’s named.
