The Knot by M.C. Escher

This is one of the famous "knots" of M.C. Escher. I think I was aiming at something like a movie poster back then, so I applied some techniques to approximate such an effect (some "outer glow", anyone?). My feelings on whether I succeeded or not are somewhat mixed, but I do like that one, surprisingly even to myself.

There is no need to explain who Escher was to those who studied Mathematics, Computer Science, Arts or Psychology, but I would be rather surprised if there is anyone who has not seen a painting of Escher in their lifetime. He was a true master in his own universe and league.
