One

Today marks my one year of ambigramming. Its been one wild ride since i started doodling on ambigrams, after having read 'Angels and Demons' and been bewildered by 'earth', 'air', 'fire' and 'water' ambigrams by Sir John Langdon.

Now when i look back i see how much i've evolved as an artist in this one year. You can see the gradual increment in the quality of the designs in the past year. I look forward to more years of this challenging hobby. Thanks to everyone who commissioned their artworks from me, those who commented on my site and not the least my close friend Vinay who gave his feedback on almost all of my designs...

Cheers!

Singularity

This ambigram was created as an entry for the Nagfa's Ambigram Challenge for Feb 2007. This challenge was special, since the word, Singularity, was given by the most notable ambigrammer of our times - Sir John Langdon.

The design is quite different from my usual designs.
Aesthetic. Sexy. Graphic. Racy. Bold. Beautiful. Magic. A Work of Art!

Evanescence

This ambigram is dedicated to one of my favorite alternative rock bands - Evanescence. The design uses a funky font incorporating minimalism to the maximum.

Evanescence's new album - 'The Open Door' is out now. I like the tracks 'weight of the world', 'lithium', 'call me when you are sober' in it.

Bethany & Finn

This ambigram was commissioned by Mark Richardson who wanted to get a blackletter ambigram tattoo on his childrens' names - Bethany and Finn. He also wanted to incorporate the '13' in the same ambigram, since it was important to him.

I've used the Wilhelm Klingspor Gotisch font for this (another eg. of this font is Aristottle). The 'A'/'&' inversion also incorporates '13' in it. The design looks very stylish, contemporary and very suitable for a tattoo.

The design took days of thought and 4 hours of implementation. This is typical of each customized artwork which requires a lot of time and effort to bring out the beauty in it.
