New Hyperbolic Escher Patterns

|
| This pattern is based on the fish pattern of Escher's hyperbolic "Cirlce Limit III" print in which the fish swim along so-called equidistant curves, except that five fish meet at a right fin instead of four fish as in Escher's pattern. |
|
|
| This pattern is based on the shell pattern of Escher's Euclidean Notebook Drawing Number 42, except that there are points of both 4- and 5-fold symmetry, whereas there is only 4-fold symmetry in Escher's pattern. |

|
| This pattern is based on the butterfly pattern of Escher's Euclidean Notebook Drawing Number 70, except that points of 6-fold symmetry have been replaced by points of 7-fold symmetry, making it a hyperbolic pattern. |
