    i can get it to tile horizontally but not vertically :(

    Judy, then I’m afraid you only get custody on weekends.

    Glad you guys like them. Julian isn’t that fussy about having custody; just check the Guardian for confirmation of that.

  6. raincoaster says:

    Okay, you and Judy have to work out a joint custody arrangement!

    Okay, do you want a boy or a girl?

    Just a simple loop.

    SUPER-TRIPPY! I love it, thanks!

  13. raincoaster says:

    It’s now my desktop background.

  14. Team Oyeniyi says:

    So zeanyboi get’s the second child, but not the first, because that isn’t tiled – is it? The spinning made my eyes unfocus. It is longer, but does it tile?

    I’m not going to try it, the spinning made me dizzy!

    Looks very trippy, though, I agree.

  15. raincoaster says:

    No, the second one is tiled. The first one is animated. So he gets both of the first two.

    That tiling image makes a terrific computer background. It’s stone-cold awesome.

  16. Team Oyeniyi says:

    It really did make me quite dizzy, so perhaps my eyes just can’t cope feeding that image to my brain – or my brain can’t cope with being the receiver. I have a large screen, so the thought of all that spinning just spins me out.

    Thank goodness for your other commenters, I could see myself wasting a day trying to do that!

  18. raincoaster says:

    I’m really glad I am no good at it, or I’d have wasted a week! It really does make an amazing desktop background. I debuted it at a conference on the weekend and people asked me what I was on when I chose it. Always a good sign.

  19. [...] Edit: We have a fourth!  Raincoaster has volunteered!  Raincoaster has been banned already from Google+ and has a fascination obsession with Julian Assange.   The wedding cake worried me, plus she once offered to give away their firstborn (poetic licence on my part there, maybe) in exchange for the animation of some Trippy Tigers.

    I am now very sad, as the animated versions are all offline. DAMN, why didn’t I save an upload those when I had the chance?

  21. Cooper says:

    I couldn’t get a hold of the non-animated, doubly-tiled version that was available here: http://seanyboi.com/escher-tigers.jpg

    Would you be able to post it?

  22. raincoaster says:

    Unfortunately, I didn’t save that either except on a computer which is now quite dead. Those trippy tigers are shockingly ephemeral!
