I have, in fact, made (some time ago, for palapeli in fact) a list of 
Escher tessellations :-):

And yes, these are all (intentionally) nasty as the pieces are all the 
exact same shape ;-). (Well, in many - but not all! - of them, one of 
only two shapes, so you have two sets of pieces, with all pieces in a 
set being identically shaped.)
