Relativity is a lithograph print by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher, that was first printed in December, 1953. - Навчання та стиль
Now what you need is a miniature David Bowie and a peppermint baby.

WOW ! That's an impressive homage... and not just to Escher.
Amazing! I always thought that this one by Escher is based on an optical illusion like the drawings with the water running upstream. I did not know that this with the staircases can be built in reality and still work. Thus, you have proven this point by building a model in 3 D. I think M.C. Escher would like your work.
There is actually one optical illusion in his drawing, but I managed to work around it.
My Dad was always constructing models and pop open cards.
This is Absolutely Museum Quality Work!
Bravo 🤗💓🚀
Homage? Escher would have been mind-blown by this! Terrific!
This was quite phenomenal - not only the building of the model but the excellent work in making the video. I can't believe it has just 1,9K views; I've seen real dreck garner 10M views. Go figure.
Now, a week later it’s 8500 views, so this must be picking up steam!
Thank you for your support. I'm just glad if some people enjoy the video.
no words , the video , and the art . are beyond words
I make pop-up books. I never considered that Escher's art could actually be realized. This will be a future project.
(:
Best of luck with the project!
Masterful work! I love the thought you put into the little details.
Thank you so much. I am a little obsessed with details!
Congratulations! Great work! Escher would be proud of you!
Absolutely awesome work. Didn't think Escher's drawing could be physically created. Thank you, and so well done!
Thank you. You're right, this is one of the few that can be realistically created.
Thank you So much. . . I couldn't stop smiling as i watched your excellent build.. Your commitment to detail is never ending. I subed after seeing this clip, shared it with a couple mates, who do craft work also. Cheers to steady hands, sharp eyes, great content. Thanks Again.. {Im th 777th like} thats gotta be tripple Lucky.... 🙂🙂🙂
Glad you enjoyed it. And thank you too for the sub. Hope the 777 does bring you luck!
Mind blowing model creation
Thank you, Ranjan.
underrated
I've wanted to do this ever since I read Douglas Hofstadter's book Gödel - Escher - Bach when I was 15, half a century ago. Very cool!
Wow! You did a wonderful job! And I love the tour when you were finished. Very awesome craftsmanship!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your support!
This is amazing and it makes me remember my father .I turned in a working waterwheel on a mill / history project for 8th grade (1964-65) .....what I was allowed to do was paint at the finish ! My father enjoyed constructing model airplanes (pre WW2) and my projects thru school .This model would have been something to share with him .
Fortunately my father lets me work on projects with him instead of taking over. I think that's were I garnered a lot of my passion for making things.
@@theavidcreator7356 thank you for noticing me ! My Dad has been gone from us 30 years and you stirred up those memories... .thank you...... imy Dad even built a Gothic cathedral for me to complete a college independent study course....
I got used to expecting him to take over !!! (He always got a very good grade for what I turned in for a grade ) Thank you , I am 70 and have a lot of memories to sift thru .
Total respect to you for the attention to detail and the immaculate way that you have created this. The accuracy is amazing. I am a modeller and know the painstaking way that you must work. I could never come close to your achievement.
Thank you for your support. It's always nice to hear from a fellow modeller.
Very nicely done. I had all these posters has a teenager. Seeing it reproduced into a 3D model……awesome.
Breathtaking, mindbending and heart opening ☝️❤️🌍
I think your creation should be in the Escher museum in the Netherlands. Escher was a genius drawing impossible things that formed in his head. You made that impossible thing into a reality. Beautiful.
Absolutely Amazing work! Thank You for Sharing.
Amazing, everything you build to scale, Amazing !!
This is superb! What a great job of building, presenting and documenting.

Absolutely FREAKING amazing to see M. C. Escher come to life ! GREAT work !!!
Really great well done! Now you have the scale model done I can hardly wait for the full-size version😂
😂 If only I had the space.
And you would probably need a whole bunch more bigger tools!😁
I just found your channel, and instantly subbed! I, as so many others here in the comments, have wondered if this were possible, and you have masterfully done it!
I hung on every cut and placement, but then again, I'm weird like that. 🤪
Thank you for a completely engrossing project - I'm sure it was for you to build, and it certainly is for art/architecture geeks to watch. Very well done, sir.
It certainly was an engrossing project, and an enjoyable and frustrating one too. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This is awesome!
Wow! Just wow!
Outstanding! 🤩❤️
Perfect model!
WOW.... just WOW. awsome
Amazing work!
speechless and amazed at your work...this is quite incredible!
This was very interesting to me as a few years back I made an attempt at building this scene using the Reallusion animation software. I got pretty close but not anywhere near as close as you did here. I wouldn't have thought this could be reproduced in the real world. Totally amazing to me. Kudos on a job well done.
I tip my hat to anyone who has given this a go, 3D or real life, as I lost a small part of my sanity trying to figure out the geometry.
Great job. Magnificient.
Well done, bravo!
Outstanding and entertaining to watch it unfold.
I had always thought this was buildable, but I never thought I'd have the skill - it's great to see someone who clearly has the skill and the patience. This was fantastic.
I didn't think I had the skill either, to be honest, but I like not knowing if I will succeed. Makes projects more interesting.
Thoroughly impressed🔥
Thank you! I’ve always wanted to do this, or see it done!
Simply wonderful and inspiring.
Браво ! великолепная работа !
Astonishing and inspiring. Thank you!
So much care & patience.
The ideas and craftsmanship are stunning. Well done!
sick
Ok... You've inspired me to finish a project I've been putting off. I have an idea of a wizard's tower based off of Escher's work but I wasn't sure the weird geometry twists would translate well to real 3D. I see now that it is possible. Thanks!
I'm really glad I could inspire you. Best of luck with the project! It sounds awesome.
* Fabulous !! Never dreamed of seeing a 3D model.. THANKS ! !
Very cool build! Well done!
Well Done & Fascinating to Watch!
Craftsmanship IMPRESSIVE!!
THANKS for the VIDEO!
great skills sir
Excelente trabajo
Accuracy and artistry is astounding. Take good care of your eyes, use a big magnifying glass while you work on tiny objects.
You did an awesome job. Love it.
Thank you so much!
Great homage to Escher, always loved his work, and especially this piece. Brought back a lot of memories, thank you.
Escher was indeed awesome. Glad I could bring him back into people's lives!
This is Brilliant!! Just found your channel. Just Great Work!! Bravo!!
Thank you for your support. It is appreciated.
Well, I really fell down the rabbit hole on this one... but I enjoyed it immensely😅🤣😂.
😂 Glad you enjoyed it.
Very nice.
Fantastisch !!!
Круто! Фантастика!
Awesome attention to detail. This sculpture is a unique work of art. The original drawing has been reproduced a million times, but this three dimensional object will always be one of a kind.
Thank you for your appreciation!
Holy hell 😳 this is amazing.... This was an easy subscribe 👍
😀 Thank you for the sub.
impressive work, cool channel - subbed!
I really appreciate the support. Thank you.
This is rediclously awesome... 🥰🥰👍
Thank you. I appreciate the support!
Incrível!
I am ENVIOUS! Great job!
Waouh travaille vraiment incroyable, c'est extraordinairement bien fait et je n'imagine même pas les démarches qui ont pu être faites pour concevoir ce dessin en 3D. Continuer ainsi, je suis certain que ce contenu plaira et sera trouvé son public.
Merci pour votre soutien! (I hope I translated that properly!)
I've been waiting for someone to do this 😮
...And it turned out amazing! That looked like a ton of work, how long did it take you?
This took me about four months, but I only got to work on it in my spare time, so I'm not sure of the actual hours. Many, many hours though.
Very interesting
I knew this was possible......thank you for not letting me try.....lol
My pleasure!
Great job. Might you have drawings of the pieces?
I unfortunately don't have drawings of the pieces, as I had to figure out a lot of things as I went along.
I kept waiting for your hands to grow old and wrinkled, but you finished before you became elderly.
Your comment made me laugh, thank you. These projects do take a long time, but hopefully never that long.
Great work. Is a plastic straight edge to guide a blade a brave move? Not with practice (or handy replacements) it would seem.
A plastic straight edge for cutting is absolutely not a good idea, but I like to live dangerously.
Hey just found this! Really great work! How many hours did this take you? I've been working on a version in Blender to recreate it in color. I also did Waterfall in color and Relativity is by far more simple to create. I saw you mentioned there's some impossible geometry or optical illusion in this one? Curious where...
Hi. I worked on this sporadically over many months, so I'm honestly not sure how many hours it took, and wouldn't hazard a guess. Good luck with your Blender project. The impossible geometry is that you can see the underside of the two arches in the top left, but shouldn't be able to at that angle. It's a small thing though.
😮🥰😉
A lot of patience, time, and work went into it. So now what are you supposed do with it?
For me the enjoyment is in the process, but now I have something interesting to put on display in my house.
What kind of music is this. What do I search on Spotify?
Hi Luke. The music is from the UA-cam library. The video description provides the details of the songs and artists. Hope that helps!
Do you ever sell any of your works? If so how can I get in touch with you?
Hi David. At the moment I am unfortunately not looking to sell my work. But I really appreciate the interest.
Lovely work, but why didn’t you add the people themselves, climbing up the stairs?
(I’ve always thought this drawing was the inspiration for the arcane moving staircases at Hogwarts 😃)
I considered the people, and actually sculpted a few, but I kind of liked the desolate feel of this version.
Hi, I am very impressed. I am interested in commissioning you to build one of these for me. Can we please have a conversation about that?
Hi. I truly appreciate your request for a commission, but unfortunately I am not doing commissions at the moment. I will certainly let you know if that changes. Thank you.
What is wrong with all you people ? It is still only an optical illusion.
I saw it and I still don't understand the skill level
Daunting. Exacting. Devoted. Impressive.
only missing the human figures
As we say in Germany: That would have been the dot above the "i" (meaning, that it needs only one little dot to make it perfect).😊
I have just learnt the correct english saying: "That would have been the icing on the cake."🤓

No mean feat!
What a complete waste of time 😄
