A small figure sits on the edge of what could be a giant cube or a building. The roof is deep blue; the left face of the cube is bright green, and the right face is bright red. The left face has a window in it, in which a cat is sitting. The strange part is that while the edge that the figure sits on looks like the outer wall of the building, the perspective applied to the window makes it look as if the window is set on the inner wall. The figure and the cat are looking at each other across the gap of two perspectives that don't match. Behind the figure is a dark night sky with a moon and some slight fog.

At first glance, a small, shed-like building with a weathervane on top. The sky is gray and dark; the orange sunlight from an unseen sun comes in at an oddly low angle, as though the sun is either rising or setting. But the strangest thing is the building itself. The perspectives just don't add up. A staircase descends from the right side, extending past the left wall, which is either facing outward or inward, depending on which part of it you're looking at. At the top of the stairs on the right wall stands a small figure, reflecting the sunlight. Peering out of an archway on the left wall stands a very large figure. This took me way too long to do, even longer to explain, and even though I loved Escher as a kid, I'm pretty sure he never attempted any of this on an iPhone.
