more entries...

Hi and salam to all, hope you're in the best of health with loved ones. A quick post here:

.

Firstly, it has to be said that due to some technical problems with our email account circa April, some artists may discover that their emails (NAC entries) have not been received, thus their absence in the recently-posted compilation of the submitted entries.

.

To avoid a repetition of this unfortunate incident, we will reply at least an acknowledgement (we've been doing this quite regularly) to confirm each received email. Do remind / enquire us of the status of your email if we have yet to reply to it. :)

.

These are two more additional design for the NastyBasty NAC:

'snow.white-the.fairest' by juan luis (spain)

'ai.dash-thailand' by ai.dash

.

Secondly, two further solutions by ed xander (uk) for our mini-challenge: the.dark.tower - stephen.king:

'stephen.king-the.dark.tower' by ed xander (uk)

A brief update on the special NAC. We are currently refining some small details with the Guest Challenger of the special NAC. Estimated time of posting will be this Saturday.
.

In the meantime, we would love to introduce another talent in our ambigram fraternity: Azahary Arif from Singapore, whose recent designs exude a sense of well thought-of techniques and phrase combinations. Do drop by and say 'hi'.. :)

mini-challenge: solutions by Alessandro Pocaterra

Previously, we had posted some design proposals which had proved elusive to us for years (!); we never expected a solution for them, and definitely not quite so soon. Guess what, Alessandro Pocaterra from Italy proved us wrong. We were amazed, really, with his designs (NastyBasty's solution too, which we had highlighted in one of our recent posts), of how simple thin lines, fuss-free managed to be so effective. Here they are:

'Stephen.King's-Dark.Tower' - 'Eddie.Oy.Jake-Susannah.Roland' by Alessandro Pocaterra
'Jack.the.Ripper'-'Serial.Killer' by Alessandro Pocaterra
.

Recently, while sorting through our piles of papers (we are teachers, not hoarders, mind), we came across some old drafts of unfinished designs chucked away. So here goes, another list of elusive designs:

1. ambigram of armageddon-apocalypse

2. reflection of liverpool-red.devil
3. ambigram of black(&)white-myth(&)legend

4. reflection of Jack.Daniel

5. ambigram of Douglas.Hofstadter-Godel,Escher,Bach

.

If you're up for the challenge, do email us at: nagfa_ambigram@hotmail.com

Your work will certainly be compiled and shared with our visitors. Thank you in advance!

salam (peace),

Walter a.k.a.Marten. The Man In Black in Stephen King's epic 'The Dark Tower' series. Nag's into the last book now - the last stretch with the katet.

.

Our previous design inspired by the same book:

reflection: the-dark-tower

which conceals the Man in Black himself within the design:

Of course, an ambigram of Stephen King himself:

ambigram: stephen king

We are still attempting a Katet ambigram, incorporating the names of the five (yup, Oy included!) main heroes. Been at it since last mid year (mid world?) though.. Still proves elusive..
