"Escher Monks" Art for Microsoft News, c.1985
I drew this
illustration (in black-&-white) for The Microsoft News way back
about 1985, before most people ever heard of Microsoft. While it's sort
of Escher-like in style, it doesn't have the inside-out/upside-down
convoluted perspective; the dimensional perspective is consistent and
coherent throughout. As I recall, this was supposed to illustrate a
mathematical / computer programming cunundrum of some sort. There were
five monks, but only two could be seated at the table at a time, with
one coming and one going, and so on. Don't ask me to explain it; I
never really understood it at the time, and I still don't get it. I
only had to understand it just enough to draw it. Kind of like life. -

Jerry seems a bit
perplexed as he begins work on a special project - a very unusual
collaboration. Check back occasionally and view the work as
it progresses.
