Overhead view of a table showing a folder labeled “John Langdon”. Contents of the folder are hand-lettered words that when rotated 180 degrees read the same: “symmetry”, “sometimes”, “minimum”, “infinity”.
On January 1, we lost a master of the ambigram (words expertly drawn so they read the same when turned upside down). In 2022, John Langdon donated his primary archive to us.

I finally got around to putting these new colorways of the Hand and Foot playing cards into mockups. Envoy the colors!
I also have full decks of these colorways available for sale if you’d like. DM me for details!

An ambigram of Susan Goldstine with 180° rotational symmetry: it says “Susan Goldstine” right side up and upside down. The background behind the black lettering is a top-to-bottom white-to-blue gradient, mostly so you can tell whether this image is “right side up” or “upside down.” The aspect ratio is NOT ideal for Bluesky, I’m afraid.
Extrapolating matching letter forms from the s/n and u/a was fun. I think that the added letters enhance the credibility of the “susan” part, but it can be hard to tell how it looks outside your own head.
I did manage a 180° flip of my full name, though.

A Parker calligraphy pen and a Lamy Safari fountain pen, with some calligraphy in the background, and a caption that says, “I ink, therefore I am”.
Sometimes my penchant for puns allows for some profundity…
