"Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible" M.C.Escher

I always loved Escher's drawings as I was growing (You can look it up or ask a math teacher. It only has one surface and one edge - really!)

 So you need to think outside of the box, maybe even draw outside of the box. Do you color outside of the lines?

 Promote the absurd, we are too programed to think alike. Look what happens when we combined calligraphy and paste paper. The designs below in the CafePress section are calligraphic art by Lisa Fox and the color variation is created by the inverse of colors.

Wikipedia M. C. Escher 

Maurits Cornelis Escher (17 June 1898 ? 27 March 1972), usually referred to as M. C. Escher (), was a Dutch graphic artist. He is known for his often mathematically inspired woodcuts, lithographs and mezzotints. These feature impossible constructions, explorations of infinity, architecture and tessellations.
