Optical Delusions & Visual Confusions

" I believe that producing pictures, as I do, is almost solely a question of wanting so very much to do it well"

I wasn't sure exactly how to begin until I found this particular quote. I think in every artist's time (graphic or illustrator) they begin to understand their work. I was doing a search online and happened to come across a post on a particular game (Echochrome) for the PSP. It automatically hit me that they were exploring the works of M.C. Escher and animating it in a much simpler way for us to enjoy and understand. So it lead me to this post.






M.C. Escher born Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972) was an amazing graphic illustrator who aside from real life sketches worked on Lithographs, Woodcuts and Wood Engravings. When you see his work you notice an eye for detail. It is certainly a gift when your mind can work a certain way to unravel things, put them back together in order to present in a way that captures our imaginations. His works have inspired me to push the limit and enjoy what I do even more. To look at the simplicity of black and white art and how powerful it can be. With so many pieces to showcase I only selected a few that will hopefully inspire you as well.
