I had a cure Colecovision game called Illusions based on Escher back in 1984:

Didn’t he do the architectural designs for Hogwarts, especially the stairways?

Escher floors are the MOST disturbing things to walk on.

Why did you post this from so long ago with a misleading statement?   The least you could do is explain why.

What misleading statement? I posted it because the 50th anniversary of Escher’s death is today.

The very short video you linked to didn't mention his death at all.   I only showed him working a wood block print with a rather odd music track.

It’s an homage to Escher. I just looked for a video that showed him and his work.
