Two bent metal bars that intersect. You will notice though that one is tall while the other is short. If you pay extra attention you will notice that in the pairs of bands in the same color both of them exactly matches the single band on the opposite side.

It is a little curious when the vanishing points end up within the image area, the grid lines form solid gray blobs as the line width is constant. It makes sense if you look at the full size image as the grid lines then are more clearly visible. On another note, now I have totally caught up with myself, so from now on figures will be posted even more spaciously. Either one each month, or if I get overly creative (have time!), every other week.

If you travel with your mind clockwise around the center rectangle you will notice that you always go forward, out of the picture. If you split the figure vertically at the center you will always go backwards, into the image, if you follow any of the sides in a clockwise direction.

I was a bit puzzled of how to finish this piece, as it was connected impossibly at so many points. The end process was quite straight forward, it was just hard to picture in my head, and I ended up very happy with it.

Loops

This entire structure is connected from back to front from the left and from the right, at the same time, while still being just one object.

When I installed the WP plugin Contact Form 7 on the 25th of March I did not expect to get any feedback through it very soon, but to my surprise I got a message five days later from Jossie of Zumbakamera.com (check out their videos) regarding my impossible figures!

To support and finance an animation project called Bendito Machine (which I think is awesome!) they were looking for artists to collaborate with to get illustrations for their online Giclée service named Printastic. I was very happy to become a part of this, so I quickly agreed to supply the figures they wanted :)

As both parties were plenty busy with other things the time slipped away, but now I have finally gotten a page on Printastic! They will add more of my art in the near future; currently I have supplied them with a bunch more than there are on the page right now.

On a side note, since installing the contact form I have received two more requests about using my art (more about that later) and a very nice appreciation email :) Shocking!

Depending on which side you access this pair of stairs, you get to climb a different number of steps.
