My digital scrapbook, historical record and online playground.
This evening I decided to see if I could make my own ambigram:
It’s a little rough, but I think I got it to work!
An ambigram, also sometimes known as an inversion, or flipscript, is a graphical figure that spells out one or more words not only as presented, but also in another direction or orientation (from Wikipedia).
Here are a couple examples of some very nice ones:
Occasionally I drive by a tire shop on my way to work. Many months ago, one of the tire guys left the right door open on this trailer, and I thought to myself, “I gotta get a picture of that!” Well, either both doors have been open, or they’ve both been closed (or I didn’t have my camera), so I haven’t been able to get that picture — until today!
Here’s a close-up:
It’s a great slogan for ANY organization or business! Maybe I’ll adopt it as the official slogan of this blog…
If I can’t, I won’t!”
Or the more positive version,
“If I can, I will!”
(Quick: Without looking it up, do you know what the full slogan of this tire shop is?)
Austin performed in the drama, “A Curious Savage” at Newberg High School tonight, and it was very well done.
A comedy with some real touching moments, the story is about three siblings who put their wealthy step-mother in a “home” because they think she is being foolish with her money (their inheritance). She becomes friends with the other residents of the home, and has a fun time keeping the ten million dollars out of the hands of her greedy step-children.
Austin plays Hannibal, a man who thinks he can play the violin (he can’t, but no one tells him that), and he flicks playing cards at the three greedy people that are trying to get at Mrs. Savage’s money.
It was a fun play — with a surprising final scene. Good job to all the actors! It’s worth seeing!
