32. Interlocking Skull

Skull designed for interlocking pattern, filled with that selfsame pattern. For more interlocking patterns check out M.C. Escher.

UPDATE:
I've been told that it's not entirely clear what I did here. To explain, the pattern is made of the same repeated shape, which fits seamlessly with all the ones around it (like bricks)...
Does that help?

  2. This would make great wrapping paper for gifts. Top it off with a lovely black velvet bow and you not only have a present- but also a work of art.

  4. Nice tessellation! I'm so glad I found your blog, I too have been a skull fan for years, before it became "the thing". I've recently found a few drawings/paintings from my first year of college (8 years ago) that can back me up. :)
