Modern Escher

These images have been making the email circuit but they are too interesting not to post. Obviously this is a reference to Escher with updated scenarios — taking technology into consideration, for example. Nonetheless, they are technically well done and I appreciate their trompe l’oeil appearance.  They are even a bit wacky and make you think that things are a bit crazy and off kilter. I don’t know how this first one appears animated, but it’s pretty cool.

Unfortunately, there is no known credit but  I did come across this FreakingNews link in researching.

Here’s a previous post with reference to Escher, an artist who’s work I’ve always enjoyed. I have this picture of his hands  and other works in my studio.

PS: Sorry for the late posting. I thought I had scheduled this one and I guess I had not.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
