    This is so amazingly good! I checked out your portfolio because you’ve commented on several of my pieces and I have to say that I’m very flattered that you like my work because yours is exceptional! Your portfolio is so good that it is hard to pick a favorite but this unique work might just be it. So creative, unique and extremely well done.

    ESCHER !

  • Nikki Trexel replied

    i never knew who Escher was, but you’re the third person to mention his name, so i looked him up. :) thanks for the compliment!

    M C Escher was my first thought as well.

    This is a stunning shot. The abstract lines and angles all done in a striking B&W finish make a wonerful composition. I think this has to be my favourite of your work…..but it is a hard choice!!

    so now you seen eschers work – you have to step up and make more mind bending images.

  • Nikki Trexel replied

    i’ve thought about it some. i’ve concluded that it just has to happen by accident, like this one sort of did. :) kidding sort of….but i’ll get on that. :) thanks so much for stopping by again MT!
