Two versions of Anthony Grayling. Inspired by WM Jas. Design-wise, reminiscent of Robert Maitland's.Labels: ambigram, anthony grayling, nagfa, robert maitland, WM Jas

That could be ambigramized!
Sometimes, a mere glance of a word or phrase could make us go, "That could be ambigramized!"
.
Some words/phrases are just too cooperative to not be turned (pardon the pun) into an ambigram. Two posts back, we had shared our own (excited) discovery of The.president, The.Mutant and The.Militant.

The past week had seen other ambigram artists doing 'cooperative letter combinations':
WM Jas: '... a very ambigram-friendly phrase'.
Jutt: 'The letters cooperated nicely for this ambigram'
Robert Maitland: "... 90% of this fell into place very easily... "

Welcome WM Jas!
We've been trawling the internet for new artists, and was pleasantly surprised to have stumbled upon WM Jas' website: here. WM Jas - William James Tyconievich, based in Taiwan - must be one of those artists who excels in experimenting in his art. In such a short span, he had come up with very good concepts of diversed ambigrams and wordplays.
.
One fun example is shown below, a pictoral ambigram where a decapitated head rotates into a jug of wine. Even the clever splatters / splashes of red fluid help in the understanding of the graphics.
Then, we also saw this, a very original take of a 'William' ambigram. Which works by playing with the negative spaces, too.
And if that wasn't enough to thrill us, he had designed a cross-language ambigram, too:
We're not done yet. He had this very observant wordplay in store for us (and listed other possible words-combination, too!):
Not satisfied with the 'simpler' one-lined ambigram, he pulled off a stunning 8-words ambigram 'Well, Adam, you have a new world here'!
Expect more surprises from the artist himself: here.
