Ha! I hadn't thought of that, but I see what you mean. You'll have to trust me, I guess, that my *patient* before and afters are the real deal and NOT a manipulation. Besides, I did these images with Mathmap, not Photoshop, if that puts you at ease. --DCP To the poster who wrote, “There is something about a plastic surgeon that enjoys manipulating photos in photoshop that frightens me to no end.” Ha!

But I would hardly compare them to Escher, and most certainly not Dali (pffft • #4 ). Escher's work is incredibly complex in execution, and most of his works fall under the category of tesselation or original optical illusion. These mechanical graphics seem like more simple repeating patterns. Dali's body of work, although broad in spectrum, is untouchable as a whole. And yes, all that stuff looks great on a dorm room wall, but that's just what trippy art is for, isn't it? These graphics are lovely, and are well worthy of a wall print.
