Until then I'm officially going dark for a bit so as not to seem merely aloof and unapproachable. I'm sure you're devastated but you'll just have to carry on as best you can. ;)Current Residence: Portland, OR

Scalpod, you're still my boy! I'm just getting back into the groove so forgive me for the absence. Vectors are still looking awesome. Stay up!

Thanks for the kind words. I've been trying to get your page to come up so I can check out your work, but I keep getting an error. I noted there's another user named 'zen' (minus the minus sign), I wonder if there's some weirdness going on as a result?

Thanks for your comments, all the faves and for adding me to your friends list.
Your ambigrams are gorgeous! Do you use any software or something? I draw most of my ambigrams by hand and finish them with MS Paint (surely not the most professional and effective software ) ... there are only a few I did with Inkscape.

Thanks for the kind words!
I usually sketch them in pencil and then scan and 'trace' in Inkscape.
I gave Microsoft the boot at the beginning of this year and haven't looked back! (Ubuntu Linux, Inkscape, Gimp, etc.)

Thanks for always peeping my works, man, and being able to pick out all the small details that I can't ever get anyone else to notice. BTW, that JIF vector art is both mind-bending and quite dope, I wanna see that on a T-shirt.

scalpod In reply to ZSunsTragedy [2007-08-06 20:45:22 +0000 UTC]
Mirror, rotate, fold, invert... you name it!
Ambigrams are usually designed to be read from more than one direction (e.g. turned upside down) though there are many different kinds.
Mostly I just love playing with words!

Holy cow, sir, I just noticed you have one of my prints on your wishlist. For this I am grateful, but I must say one thing: DA's print distribution system is unscrupulous and should be disputed in the presence of a tribunal. I will soon be removing my available prints for one reason: Why is it that I make a $1.50 off of my hard work, and DA gets $10.00? This seems to be the most outrageous thing I've ever seen or heard and I'm writing to DA about it. In return, I offer to send you a very nice print through the mail for free; this is out of respect for the both of us, and out of spite for DA.
