I've got a nice escher print (one of the lesser known ones- two different elevations fusing) on my bedroom wall.
If you like this type of art, check out the game Marble Madness. The artwork was heavily influenced by Escher.

Nah, the guy who made it (now makes the crash bandicoot and Jaxter and Dax games) says it was Escher that influenced him. There were lots of ramps in it though.

Also try the library,...here in holland there are a lot of books from escher with all his artwork(but maybe that is because he is dutch) you even can get some "cut and paste" pictures to build your own impossible figures, and the are very freaky imo

Try watching "labyrinth" it has an escher influenced scene. imagine a glittery david bowie (whos in the movie!) walking up and down those impossible stairs while singing to a girl!

Escher == The Squarepusher of painting
Mondrian == The Autechre of painting
Magritte == The Boards of Canada of painting
Dali == The Aphex Twin of painting :)

Eh I just wanted to say my painting preference, and found funny that I could so easily associate them with the major 4 electronic acts today.
