  Copyright question

I have a question about copyright.

Over the last few months I've posted images (see p.b.i.) of my version of
Escher's Double Planetoid illustration. I'm thinking of rendering some
images, including this one, for exhibition on Zazzle. Although the image
was completely generated from scratch by me, the inspiration and concept
obviously come from Escher's work. My question is, would I be infringing
any existing copyright by doing this? If so, is there a way around it (i.e.
a credit to the original artist)?

I appreciate that this isn't a 100% POV-Ray issue, but I know that some of
you out there are by necessity familiar with the vagaries of copyright law!

Any advice on this would be very helpful.
Bill
