i got talking to friends about ambigrams this weekend and revisited these two interesting websites:
firstly the artist john langdon and secondly mister scott kim, both sites (although quite ugly and outdated) are a pretty good source of information and inspiration on the subject of ambigrams and inversion type
interesting kickstarter project to revive an ancient artists tool known as the camera lucida, the project has already reached its goal, read more about the neo lucida here
two weeks ago i was invited to the south of france to do a workshop at the ‘ecv’ art school in aix-en-provence with 2nd and 3rd year graphic design students, as part of the workshop (on day one) i asked my students to draw me
partly as a way to explain the fact that we were going to be working without computers (almost) during the week and also to check their drawing skills, designers seem to be less competent at drawing these days is my assumption; in this case i was wrong: most of them were pretty good even, here are a few of my favourites..
