: : yes, Escher is probably second only to Dali as the most popular artist with flyer designers
: :
: : here's some other Escher based flyers - most use the 'spiral face' or 'impossible architecture' images - anyone know of any non-UK Escher flyers? - those similarly freaky to Stare's "The Bohemia Party" are starred

: Although Salvador Dali and M C Esher art tends to be the most used for the purpose of rave flyers [infringing copyright], and has inspired many other original flyer designs, from the likes of PEZ etc, here's a few more artists which are worth checking out - most of which were on LSD at the time - Victor Vasarely, Bridget Riley, Max Ernst, Rene Magritte - all worth checking out!, and their works/ ideas crossed over so well for the raveflyer designs we have today [well 15 yrs ago]. Wouldn't mind being in these guys heads - what a trippy place that would be!
The Pisces Crises 13/3/92 is also a design by Escher
