M. C. Escher tiles in SVG.  

My former colleague Stephen Koch spotted some neat M.C. Escher tile art in a book, and spent a holiday weekend bringing it to the web using SVGs. This fascinating pattern is made of 4 tiles which repeat, rotated. Set the tile color with the color’s the hex code in the URL, like this pool blue.

I'd seen a book on Escher a while ago and in particular a project that focused on tiles. I was fascinated by the pattern, of course, and thought to myself, “this would be fun to translate to code.”
