I have a rare quiet day mostly to myself today, and I'm starting to become obsessed by the music of English (I think) band, es.cher:

Loving their sound, so original but with definite influences cropping up here and there - I really hope they gig in Dublin. 🤞🏼

Lots to do today, no time for the internet…

okok hear me out.

Escher's "Hand with Reflecting Sphere" is a self-portrait experiment, he said so himself. but I was looking at it from far away and... is that ANOTHER face in there?!

I cannot find a single mention of this anywhere online.

attached: the original, a blurred version, and my extremely professional annotation.

have I National Treasured myself or is this actually real? because cha boy Escher absolutely would do this.

Met verwondering gekeken naar een wiskundige 'artiest' die zo mooi laat zien hoe een andere wiskundige artiest geweldig mooie en knappe kunstwerken heeft achtergelaten.
