LLT - Thanx for the kind words! I'm jazzed you dig the way this one is going. I'm pretty excited too that I finally figured out a
interesting way to show the Night Marchers. It's really fun figuring out ESCHER'S work. His personal notes on "Ascending and Descending" are
really bleak…about how we walk forever up-stairs trudging on and on, getting no where. Or we can turn around and scamper down stairs …also going no where at all.
M.C. sez:

"Well then… I'm working my fingers to the bone, believing I'm ascending. How absurd it all is. Sometimes it makes me feel quite sick."

Boy, M.C ESCHER was totally the introverted, & depressed artist we all are! HA! Yet what a genius! I think he was even alive long enough to have his work become very
popular with the hippies in the 1960's. But, he was kinda' freaked out the pot-smoking flower children were grooving to his Art. Hmmm. Typical! Huh.
If mine works out with the illusion intact, I'd be thrilled if Art patrons broke out the Mai Tais, or the paca-lolo, and really grooved on looking at it. That's my goal actually.

OK….
On my own endless path to no where in Tiki-Art world.
One step at a time.
I had to work out just exactly what my "Night Marcher's Endless Path" would look like.
Here it is…

I think that will work.
It's gonna' not be brick, but more Tiki-ish.
Somehow, because they are supernatural spirits that often kill the poor living folks who foolishly stumble onto their path, I guess, I don't seem depressed that they are marching forever up, or down.
However, I think I'm gonna have them going only one way… up.
I just had to get the thing to look like it was endless.
More Laters!
