Tessellations are fascinating, and the lines of fish in motion provide plenty of opportunity for tessellating a shape or two by a graphic designer, the master of them of course being the dutch designer \u00a0(Maurits Cornelis) MC Escher<\/a>\u00a0,\u00a0and there are heaps of marvellous tessellations<\/a><\/span> here, though it is hard to tell if all of them are his – the page seems diluted by other people’s work as you scroll down – typical. \u00a0 However, just let your eyes wander over the page, and especially enjoy the images I selected to show today.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There are lots of videos but this first very short one<\/a><\/span> is inspiring and is followed by several tutorials on how to make a tessellation. \u00a0I didn’t go into them – but good to know they’re there if I develop a yen to design something that way.<\/p>\n

This one is pictured in an Escher \u00a0bio page I visited, \u00a0and is shown as a bas relief panel applied to a building with the caption “…Escher-like mural…” but considering where it is, \u00a0I’m taking it as at least based on one of his designs.<\/p>\n

This next one is also of birds and fish, which I think is Escher’s –<\/p>\n
