Tileable Escher Images

I recently started looking around for some new background images for my desktop. I found some Escher images which are really intriguing but were created mostly by hand, and so are not very symmetrical and so do not tile well. To be tileable and look really nice on a background, without noticeable defects, they have to be exactly the same at the edges.

So I started putting them into an image editor and tweaking them until they were tileable. Then I could use them. This got a bit obsessive as I had more and more success and then found more Escher images I liked.

So here are the ones I have converted.
