Happy Birthday Escher

I was wondering why they had that logo today!

Do you secretly feel that way about your house Drowned Poodle?

Happy Birthday!
My name says it all.....
I have a series of 7 tatoos based on MC Escher's "reptiles" around my left leg. The lizard comes to life crawling out of my skin, walks around my leg getting more detailed, then becomes less detailed as he crawls back into my skin where he started. I guess you could call me an Escher fan :).

This is one of the 'impossible' Escher prints. It's called the Belvedere. Anyone know why it's impossible?

I have a neat-o poster of "Metamorphose". It's one foot tall and about 12 feet long. Got 4 or 5 ties, too.

Hey Reptiles, does the lizard blow smoke out of its nostrils? <G>

they had a exhibit here in knoxville tn about 2 or 3 yrs ago i had never heard of him at that point - but smokygirl turned me on to him and we both went and had a great experience - getting in was a little tuff since i had decided to get in the right frame of mind before hand - i couldn't manage to get out the words "i'd like 2 tickets"... it was quite funny afterwards tho...

Great site! I've been a huge fan of his work for about 35 years now...

I'm sure they got the idea for the stairs at Hogwarts from Escher:
