Escher's Shadow Dragon was inspired by a bulletin posted on myspace by an M. C. Escher profile page. I can't recall exactly what the bulletin stated, but it had something to do with mourning a relationship gone bad. The bulletin moved me. Again, I don't recollect its exact content, but the essence touched me. The essence transcended content, much as the essence of M. C. Escher's magical imagery transcends content.
Alas, within a week of posting the bulletin, the aforesaid Escher profile page was removed from my myspace.
