It's a pity you can see the paper-grain when viewed at high res. Perhaps somebody should pass it through a low level filter? I'm not sure what the skull represents... any thoughts? Death inside us? Perhaps it is a reflection of the world through the eye(s) of the (suicidal? depressed? Realist?) subject. Note the wrinkles in the eyebrow.. worry? Fear? (I don't think so) The eye almost looks resigned.. perhaps the person has died and death is coming to greet them and they've just realised that there is no alternative. Is there a hint of sorrow?... Anyway, think about it.

-Someone wrote this

When was this made???

a skyline of 3 buildings? and what looks like a 1/2 section? (look closely, they are there) Don't forget our eyes see things upside down at first...

Maybe it was "his life flashing before his eyes"...

Its good and very eye-catching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The eye is looking in to the gates of hell, or it is just looking at the world which already happens to be hell

I like this type of art

I have always liked Escher's work, ever since high school. I think the skull should technically be upside down, but since this is an engraving it doesn't matter. M.C. was always messing with my head, be it incredible details or optical illusions. Anyway, it's wallpaper now...

Maybe he's hung up by his toes and looking death in the eye.........

i love this background cause its one of those that makes you think.

and its so detailed.

Just checkout: http://www.worldofescher.com/gallery/
to see some more of his works and read about his life.

Nic;o)

Maybe he is already dead inside.

I see it as a man about to die and that was the last thing he saw

Isnt that picture from the movie Donnie Darko? I cant remember if its in Franks or Donnies Room though.

very cool.....................

I can't believe the Detail in this Drawing,,,Xcellant

Just what I have been searching for - thanks.

To me, it almost seems as if it's a person who has come to see the world with an entirely jaded viewpoint. He is in anguish because he sees the world for what it really is: a gallery of the dead. Because of his angst, he slowly becomes dead himself.

nice one. great detailing.

cool

that is one of the freakest eyes i have ever seen! also i love the reflection in it...it that frankenstein???

nice

The skull inside the eye is very scary

the skull ruins it for me.
too grim

M.C. Escher is way cool. I have enjoyed his work for 15 years now. Thanks for the awesome background.

I'm with you wanderingeye. I pray that's not what I see when I die....or while I'm alive for that matter!

Exelent. Makes you think about where you are in the world.

How could you not love escher ... Paullake

AWESOME. LOVE IT. =)

awesome... kinda creepy... but awesome

yeah, that's from Donnie Darko... hanging in Donnie's room or something like that

ooooooo- creepy!!

kinda weird, but crap

Looks Like Elizabeth off potc look at one of the skulls in the cave.

I like the b & w one the best it's weirder

I like this, inside the eye looks cool too if you take a good look

Awesome Picture I feel that way. Great Job!

this is such an awesome picture. It caught my eye (not to make a pun) ;p

very cool DONNIE DARKO style

Mmmm... weird...

Took a sec to see the skull in the eye's reflection... cool, but werid.

It's innocent yet evil... a fantastic pic!

oooh oooh, that was the eye pinned up on donnie's wall in the ever fantastic 'Donnie Darko' incredible picture. Inspires me to draw SOO badly!

great representation of that hidden madness we all posess.

its interesting way to face the death.
The thin drawing is good.

the guy who's name is "HELL AINT A BAD PLACE TO BE" is treeibly terribly wrong. Dont Go to Hell, bro. Jesus Christ is ur only way not to. Accept Him and Live forever.

very nice! but a little creepy.

awesome detail

woah freaky. Awsome art!

Another great one - thanks again for the conversion. Looks excellent. If I had two computers, I might try it, but wouldn't it be best to flip one image horizontally first?!
