This tribute to M.C. Escher by Katsuhiro Otomo (of Akira fame) gets me every time 😍

@jack for all the times I've seen this, I just realized that's the robot's own head it's holding.

@jack That is quite a remix. Wow! From Shakespeare to Douglas Harding into uncertain future.

@jack When I thought I had got it already... no, wait a minute, aha!

@jack ugh , otomo , my favorite illustrator ever...

@jack #AltText A black-and-white drawing of a reflective sphere being held up in a robotic hand. Reflected in the sphere is a robot body, sitting in a chair in a small room surrounded by bookshelves and empty chairs and tables. On closer inspection, we see the left side of the sphere contains two eyes and a speaker-like mouth as well as the reflected room; the robot body is headless, holding its own spherical metal head in its hand.

I used to work at a carpentry, i mostly helped producing fancy furniture and interior design elements, but sometimes they asked me to do simple chores like folding plans or organizing boxes. One day they asked me to come to a nearby building to help move a "picture". When we arrived i was shocked and amazed, standing in front of one of Eschers "Metamorphosis" paintings. They're like 4 meters in length. The other guy I was with couldnt care less but i was holding the thing like it was a newborn baby when we carried it to the car :D

@jack not many can one-up Escher but this one is in a league of its own
