    It's the one with the curl-ups climbing and descending impossible staircases. It's currently my avatar picture.

    Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."

    curl-ups

    Is that what they're called? I thought of them as centipede-Trapinches.

    That's what Escher called them. I love them.

    I love that print.  I spend my hours in many a math class staring at it.  So beautiful in its manipulation of form, and the curl-ups are so cute.


    I also like his last work, the one he was drawing in the last few days before he died.  He never got around to finishing it and getting to the circles so small they need a microscope to been seen, the sub-millimeter patterns that he used in some of his other works.  It still looks good.
