I won't try to live up to any high hopes. But I do appreciate the good word and the linking thing.<BR/><BR/>BBC - Seems we tend to suffer more from delusions than illusions doesn't it. Optical or otherwise.<BR/><BR/>Utah Savage - Thumbelina? I remember fantasizing about being small also. I bet every kid goes through it at some point. Wanting to fly was another big one. Oh and living in the woods as one of the creatures, an otter comes to mind.<BR/><BR/>Not lost Utah, just letting my brain simmer for awhile.<BR/><BR/>Bull - It would seem that Escher's work would be appreciated the most by young minds not cluttered up with the boxes older minds get trapped into. My dad never lost his fascination with escher type art. My mother would rather have looked at some flowers in an old wine bottle. Or definitely a seascape of any kind. <BR/><BR/>Leon Basin - thanks for swinging by. Glad you enjoyed them. Definitely brought back some memories of my early years of discovering art.<BR/><BR/>Randal Graves - Taking time off to recharge is gonna happen. There is a real world out there. I thought I was using the blog to recharge for it.

Loved him ever since. One Christmas my aunt gave me three of those "tabletop" puzzles where you shuffle tiles to complete a puzzle (usually to put numbers in order) but they were Escher images instead. Think it took me two hours to do them. Freaked my aunt out.<BR/><BR/>Your front derailleur can act up any time it wants, as far as I'm concerned. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for this.Bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01337084304437634522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-30549557850977834912008-12-08T18:24:00.000-05:002008-12-08T18:24:00.000-05:00Are you lost in the bozone and really lost this ti...Are you lost in the bozone and really lost this time?Utah Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385093247915560752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-21988675306918357442008-12-07T13:11:00.000-05:002008-12-07T13:11:00.000-05:00I too loved Escher.

I also liked to pretend that I was small enough to hide in a pocket, like Thumbolina. I made whole towns with a deck of cards.

Being (well, starting out as) a graphics designer extraordinaire, I first started dabbling in op art in high school. After a full day of listening to the nuns drone on about the relevance of catechism in our changing world, I'd have pages of pipes that were coming out, no, in, from the edges, or grids that rotated to the eye. Kinda made me want to vomit they were so good.<BR/><BR/>Then came the fad of those pictures where you were supposed to stare at until you saw the "ship" or whatever. I never did see the "ship" and always wondered if it was a sham.<BR/><BR/>I really fear that I'm too OLD to look at these for very long. Your photos have just thrown me into some kind of "is this another cruelty of aging?" since they make me a little nauseous now. HELP ME!!! This is cruel!!!<BR/><BR/>Thank you SO much for joining me in my past. I will definitely go to your links. You are my newest hero.<BR/><BR/>p.s. YOUR banner is more what I wanted MY banner to be: ALL the way across my page, but I'm ok with mine.....temporarily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
