This is the closest I could find for Escher's work with that sort of color scheme (the original Tessellation 104 is b&w.)

^^ very large


^^ this is the first image put into a cube shape

If you know somebody with some 3D rendering software, they could use the above to make a texture applied to a flat plane. Some of the lizard colors would have to be adjusted to get the right sequence though.

Thanks guys, it looks like I may have to improvise.

You'd figure if I used it as a background it must be on my computer somewhere.. it just flat out disappeared.

I still need to find the proper medium to print it to, so if anyone happens across it in the mean time please let me know

Not exact, but close seamless pattern for Adobe programs (Illustrator).
