wow, those are great! Like M.C. Escher, but more colorful. Anyone has some info on how he/she does this ? The explanation on the site is not really useful

thats mindblowing. Reminds me of insanity (thousands of tesselated birds in rows singing, doing the Hail Caesar, then morphinh into Mr. T who says "didn't wanna be a mean guy! wann'ed to be a dancer!")

Very cool. It reminds me of Penrose tiles, a pair of shapes that only tile aperiodically -- if you tiled an infinite plane with them, you'd never be able to find the rectangular* region that repeats itself to make up the pattern, because there isn't one. Me, someday I want to build a house, and I want to have the kitchen or a porch or something tiled with Penrose tiles; maybe one of the mandala-looking tesselations. Then my kitchen (or whatever) will be at the center of an infinite, nonrepeating universe. *parallelogram-ular? I can never remember

Great post. The actual tesselations are mostly a little more crude in concept than Escher's (but then, whose wouldn't be?) but most make up for that in the way they're animated. I especially enjoy swimming with sharks.

crunchland, you are a prince among men! Some of the jigsaw puzzles here are fun. I'm still working on the "8 Cats"...
