Escher

• Escher-inspired animorphic art by Kelly Houle, including "impossible figures" such as linked Penrose tribars.

• David Bailey's world of tesselations. Primarily consists of Escher-like drawings but also includes an interesting section about Kepler's work on polyhedra.

• Computer art inspired by M. C. Escher and V. Vasarely, H. Kuiper.

• Contortion Engineering. Some Escher-like impossible figures from Offworld Press.

• Andrew Crompton. Grotesque geometry, Tessellations, Lifelike Tilings, Escher style drawings, Dissection Puzzles, Geometrical Graphics, Mathematical Art. Anamorphic Mirrors, Aperiodic tilings, Optical Machines.

• Delta Blocks. Hop David discusses ideas for manufacturing building blocks based on the tetrahedron-octahedron space tiling depicted in Escher's "Flatworms".

• Escher for real and beyond Escher for real. Gershon Elber uses layered manufacturing systems to build 3d models of Escher's illusions. The trick is to make some seemingly-flat surfaces curve towards and away from the viewplane.

• Gallery of interactive on-line geometry. The Geometry Center's collection includes programs for generating Penrose tilings, making periodic drawings a la Escher in the Euclidean and hyperbolic planes, playing pinball in negatively curved spaces, viewing 3d objects, exploring the space of angle geometries, and visualizing Riemann surfaces.

• Gecko Stone interlocking concrete pavers in geometric and animal shapes, designed by John August.

• Helical Gallery. Spirals in the work of M. C. Escher and in X-ray observations of the sun's corona.

• Houtrust Relief. Nice photo of a 3d version of one of Escher's bird-fish textures, on the wall of a water purifying plant in The Netherlands. The same photographer has several other Escher photos including one of Metamorphoses in the Hague post office.

• Three-dimensional models based on the works of M. C. Escher

• Tilable perspectives. Patrick Snels creates two-dimensional images which tile the plane to form 3d-looking views including some interesting Escher-like warped perspectives. See also his even more Escherian tesselations page.
