1. My dear MissHoneychurch!

Oh, Escher is one of my most favorite artists!

His drawings are second to none.......

I just love him!

Thanks for posting these tonight.......or should I say.....today?

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

4. I enjoy his drawings too

they suck me right into it. It is mind dazzling.

For me today, for you tonight :hi:

2. I just hung one up on a wall at my friends house....

...they had a real old print, and didn't know how to sink it into plaster. It was really pretty, and probably worth more than they realized. May have been a lithograph.

5. Couldn't you have talked them outta it

and keep it yourself? :D


:hide:

7. Nah, they're fellow socialists like me....

...you know, share and share alike. I get to enjoy it when I go over there...;-)

3. How did you manage to pick three of my favorites?

I love the optical illusion of the "always rising" stairs in the first picture, and the myriad directions the stairs take in the last. The second grabs me for some reason I can't quite describe.

6. Maybe because I like those a lot myself?

his drawings are just fantastic.

Did you ever try to draw an Escher triangle?

[NMMNG]

8. No--my drawing/artistic capabilities are pathetic

I can't even draw a decent stick figure. :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

9. OMG

:rofl:

Sorry, I didn't want to laugh about you, but that is hilarious :rofl:

[NMMNG]

20. It's ok to laugh

My artwork is laughable. :P

[MissHoneychurch]

22. Mine too

honestly, I can't draw for shit either. Except, I believe I get the stick man OK. Esp. the hanging one :rofl:

And the dude was obviously tripping.

[MissHoneychurch]

12. You would think

he smoked something :smoke:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

13. Woah, was that smiley always in your sigline?

It's freaky.

:smoke:

[MissHoneychurch]

15. No till some days ago

I had a comic in my sig line. Once my trip is over I will change it back to that.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

17. I thought so...

Hopefully, I will be able to meet up with you in NYC during your trip.

BTW, new lizard pics are up...

[MissHoneychurch]

19. I hope so too

11. A genius untrained mathematician or artist?

At first I had no idea at all of the possibility of systematically building up my figures. I did not know ... this was possible for someone untrained in mathematics, and especially as a result of my putting forward my own layman's theory, which forced me to think through the possibilities.

In mathematical quarters, the regular division of the plane has been considered theoretically. ... (Mathematicians) have opened the gate leading to an extensive domain, but they have not entered this domain themselves. By their very nature they are more interested in the way in which the gate is opened than in the garden lying behind it. - Escher

18. I believe

I understand his drawings better than what he is saying.

14. Even though I'm an hour late, I love M.C. Escher.

Hell, even Legos loves him.

[MissHoneychurch]

16. WOW

:wow:

Isn't it amazing what you can do with Lego????

BTW, one can never be too late for Escher :)
