He is most famous for his so-called impossible constructions, such as Ascending and Descending, Relativity, his Transformation Prints, such as Metamorphosis I, Metamorphosis II and Metamorphosis III, Sky & Water I or Reptiles.
I've been enamored by M.C. Escher since I was a child. I've re-imagined one of his works his 1952 Dragon wood engraving print.
My workflow is a little unique. I am converting 2D quality art into a reimagined version.
In this case I was able to use M.C. Escher's incredible detail of shadow and contrast of dark vs light to create a 3D Surface Model.
My plan was to create a Necklace that is moderate in size and send it to the M.C. ESCHER Foundation presented as as an honorary piece to show how much detail is actually in M.C. Escher's work. Ideally obtaining a license or marketing partner to work with the foundation. For information on this famous DRAGON work of art, you can find it described in the following Wikipedia article
