In brightest day, in blackest night,
no unquoted post shall escape my sight.
Be there many, or be there few,
i will quote them, as they are due.
Beware my power, the Quotationist's Light.

Real materials 22: Carved Wooden M. C. Escher Lizards
M C Escher lizards carved from thin plywood by a laser
~~ Seth Bareiss June 13, 2012

<<"Danger!Awesome" isn't a shouted threat from some weird guy on the subway. It's a new start-up woodshop in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. They have a brand new laser carver, & they're not afraid to use it. It sounds like the origin story of a superhero in a comic book, doesn't it. You'd kinda like it to involve radioactivity and a large unreasonable bad guy, though. Maybe Newt Gingrich is available as the large unreasonable radioactive bad guy. Do you know, is Newt radioactive? OK, so maaaaybe that's worth shouting about in a subway. I digress.

What you see on this page are reinterpretations of classic M. C. Escher lizard & butterfly designs. I say "reinterpretations" because you'll notice that they're slightly different from Escher's originals. These are designed to be truly interlocking-- to lock themselves together so they can't casually slide apart. The best part is the price: anyone can afford these. 12 geckos or 18 butterflies run about USD $12 to $15 plus about USD $3 to $5 for shipping. That's all. (Radioactive newt not included.) You can easily buy these Escher pieces through Etsy.com:. They're undecorated except for some simple shallow grooves on the butterflies, so consider getting some spray-on primer and a little paint so you can decorate them yourself. Or heck, trace them out on your kid's bedroom wall, break out the latex wallpaint, and make a fun frieze. (Kids: check with your parents first!!!! Parents: check with your kids first!!!!)>>

[The Winter's Tale] contains one of the most famous Shakespearean stage directions: Exit, pursued by a bear, presaging the offstage death of Antigonus. It is not known whether Shakespeare used a real bear from the London bear-pits, or an actor in bear costume. The Royal Shakespeare Company, in one production of this play, used a large sheet of silk which moved and created shapes, to symbolise both the bear and the gale in which Antigonus is travelling.
