Remember Josh Sommers? He was the artist that created all the impossible CG object (Part I and Part II), and those marvelous Escheresques (Part I). The name for this article is Escheresques as well (Part II). The name stands as a tribute to optical illusion master M.C. Escher. These images were all done with help of some 3D photo editing program, which is irrelevant, since the outcome is to be observed as a computer art. Which of these images you like the most? Have you connected each one with its original Escher pair? If you don’t recognize all of them, I suggest visiting “Inspired by Escher” optical illusion category, where you have a good chance of learning which images were inspirational for Josh.

I like the last one.
cool!! i like the 1st n 2nd pictures. but i dont understand the third picture. whats it bout?
Can someone explain the 4th picture? How is it an illusion?
i dont understand the one with the guy holding the ornament
WOAH COOL FIRST COMMENT (I THINK)
Awesome I completely love that !
ok the one with the stairs and grassy area, is stupid.
that’s not escher at all.
ick.
How is the third one an illusion?
Hmm I don’t get the third one, and the fourth one is out of proportion. Grass isn’t that big!
The one after that looks a bit naff…
Basically it goes down in quality as you go down the images =[
okay. I didn’t get the sidewalk one at first either. But it’s one of those impossible illusions. Look closely. The top of the closer rail seems to go behind the farther rail. (=
In the fourth one, the poles holding up the rail farthest from us cross in front of the other rail. You don’t really see it at first.
But I don’t see anything unusual in the one with the ornaments.
the 4th one is an illusion cuz the further-away railings overlap the closer ones
the ornament one.. he is holding it with his left hand seeing the thumb… but in the ornament, it appears he’s holding it with his right hand
To everyone who doesn’t understand the third one, look at this drawing by M.C. Escher:
Hand with the reflecting globe
You have to look further in the 3rd & 4th picture. Where is the camera in the ornament and notice the railing in the 4th, not possible. Awesome illusions!
the third one is clever as it is a reflection of a man, yet there is no camera, its like taking a straight on picture of yourself in a mirror without the camera being shown.
hope that helps!
I believe the illusion in the 4th one is in the railings… It takes a while to see…
But I still don’t get the 3rd pic =/
About the third one:

because of this, its Escher ;)
Interesante…
Son todas obras de Maurits Cornelis Escher.
This is the link for the original artist.
http://www.mcescher.com/
P.D.
Nice draws…
for the 4th pic Look closely at the rail that’s behind. The support posts are in front of the first rail
THE FOURTH IS AN ILLUSION BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE THE RAILING IS WEAVING IN AND OUT OF THE OTHER RAILING!!!!!! I JUST NOTICED THAT!!
the guy holding the ornament shows ” how its a picture when no-one is in the reflection to take a picture” i think
Fourth one the railing on the closer rail goes behind the back railing.
Third I’m guessing is just the view from the orb.
I don’t get the third one, but the illusion in the fourth one is in the railings.
The 4th one: look at the staris and the far away railing
The 3rd one i dont get
These are awesome!
The third one is just mimicing a picture Escher did, I don’t think there’s anything more to it than that…
In the fourth one the railing in the foreground goes behind the uprights in the background.
the staircase with the grass is simply that the railings cross over the staircase and back. Wierd when you notice it. The ornament one is very simple. No camera taking the photo in the reflection. Same as Morpheus’ glasses in the matrix movies. close up of reflective glasses showed camera so they painted them matte black.
i dono about the 3rd one, but the 4th with the grass and stairs, look closley at the hand rail, you’ll see what’s up
great illusions i love this site
For the Fourth one look at the legs of the railing in the back they are in front of the closer railing. As for the third one… i have no idea.
On the 4th one look at the railing…
I really don’t get the third one either, anyone care to explain?
on the stairs one…follow the rail closest to you, it goes behind the other rail
Wow! Don’t understand the third one but I got the fourth one right off the bat…(the railings are intertwined)
The one with the ball is an illusion because, if you consider the angle and perspective of the image, there’s no reason why you cant see the reflection of the camera.
OMG, you people are so stupid.
- The grass one is supposed to be like that, he’s used full size staircasing with only a few cm of grass, that’s the illusion.
- The ornamaent is incredible because there is no sign of a camera! How is it done?
- The first two are the least impressive, thats a typical illusion anyone in first year graphic design learns to do, it’s very quick and simple to replicate.
the third one is an illusion because you cant see the camera D: very weirrdd… and the fourth is an illusion because the poles on the left hand side of the stairs are “overlapping” the bar on the right hand side D:
I don’t understand the third either, but the fourth IS an illusion, just look at the right fence-thing (i don’t know the word for it ;) ).
I asume the thing with the third one is that you can’t see the camera he took the picture with.
Peoples who dont understand the third one… I just ask you one question, Who took the picture????
Cool that no one understands that….
The one with the stairs and grassy aréa are just fantastic.
The three first stairs are
only one step .
On the fourth one, the rails on the far side of the stairs are showing in front of the near side rails
The rest are good, but third one I dont get, and 4th one is just an Escher style impossible handrail, with one handrail running INSIDE the other.
On the fourth picture(the one with the grass) look at the supports for the railing on the other side of stairs.
this isn’t art, it’s a rippoff. Ecsher is cool because he drew them by hand with any computer aid.
Dont get the third one but for the fourth look at the railing on th stairs
Dont get the third but fo the fourth look at the railing on the stairs
Okay, the picture with the ornament is a reflection but there’s no camera in the reflection. The one with the stairs and the grassy area has a magic railing. Look closely at the 2 railings and where they are in relation to each other. Well done!
In the 4th one the front rail goes behind the railing in the back. Although, which one the front one is is kinda the illusion itself…
The one with the ornaments I think is a parody of that Escher drawing of himself looking into that reflective ball. I know it’s on the site somewhere but I cant find it.
i dont get the 3rd one
on the fourth
look at the bars on the side
they’re good at first
but then lose quality
I don’t understand how the one with the ornament is an illusion…
If you look carefully at the one with the stairs you notice that the railing in the foreground goes behind the bars holding up the opposite railing. It took me a while to notice that.
The last one just makes me dizzy, lol
