The way the artists work this very limiting and demanding medium is impressive, and probably not even easily imitated by general-purpose generative models.
You might want to take a look at https://diffusionillusions.com/ . You don't need a specialized models, little bit of traditional code for enforcing constraints on top of general purpose models can do quite a bit.
Can anyone else see the fish photo and think only of Godel Escher Bach (a book you read 10% of then skipped through the photos of)?
I thought of Escher since tesselation is what he's famous for beyond impossible shapes (metamorphosis II [0] is among my favorite pieces of art).
I definitely read less then 50% of GEB too, but I think I skipped to the Achilles and the Tortoise dialogs rather than the pictures :)

Never read the book, but Escher is one of my favorite artists. So any number of his fish and birds immediately come to mind: https://www.escherinhetpaleis.nl/en/about-escher/escher-toda...
This is awesome.
