I was lucky enough to receive a copy of John Langdon’s Wordplay for Christmas this year; Wordplay deals with the art, science and philosophy of ambigrams, word art that appears identical when rotated 180 degrees.

I was inspired to attempt to create an ambigram of my own by way of a New Years Greeting. The result is amateurish indeed, but the exercise gave me a good appreciation of the challenge of what the artists achieve.
