It's M.C. Escher's birthday. I grew up on the same street where he lived for a few years during WWII. Here are four Escher photos I took in the village. 2010: Escher shop reflection. 2011: 'Puddle 1952' reproduction weathered & torn. 2014: same cleaned up but still torn. 2016: actual puddle in the forest.

Sometimes Glasgow's architecture makes it feel like you're walking through a magnificent oil painting, and sometimes it's like being trapped in a drawing by M.C. Escher! This one definitely falls into the latter category. It's the rear fire escape of the Queen Margaret Union on Glasgow University's Gilmorehill Campus.

I think I've just seen the worst bike frame ever made
#bicycle #MCEscher

photo of a book. there is a bike in the middle of the shot

the front wheel and handlebar looks normal

the rear wheel and rack and crank looks normal

the frame joining them is difficult to describe but rather than a 2 triangle diamond shape it looks like a question mark or an impossible puzzle made by MC Esher

#throwbackthursday till när jag under #tågluff läste i Trenitalias ”ombord-tidning” om en M.C. Escher-utställning (”omöjliga figurer”) i Haag. 🇳🇱 Lätt att planera efterhand med #interrail och åka dit på väg hem från Italien (via Bodensjön och Aachen).Jag hade 1-månads interrail på den resan. Kul att de lyckades bygga upp det som MCE tecknat. Byggnaden nere till höger är Rotterdam Centraal. #tågskryt #mcescher

2023 marked the 125th anniversary of the birth of artist M.C. Escher. For this occasion, Grafische Werkplaats (The Hague, NL) invited me to work from the theme 'infinity' while using a printmaking technique of choice. This provided a great opportunity to learn how to make etchings.

The image depicts a wild storm in which ships are being swallowed by an abstract spiral. The center is surrounded by fire, thundering clouds and a turbulent sea. The ships symbolize man's subservience to the forces of nature.

Alright, this has become a bit of a late night, but ....

#MCEscher #RolyPolyStaircase #puzzle

These past days I have sat down almost willing the pieces to fit.

I am not certain I will ever make this puzzle again after finishing it, even though I really enjoy it!

#MCEscher #RolyPolyStaircase #puzzle

Several shades of grey, a puzzle half-made and half in pieces surrounding the fitted half.

Back to my Escher puzzle: for a while I didn't feel like working on it, but I am back!
I'm focusing on attaching small sections together without checking where they would fit on the finished version.
