    In case anyone is interested, I've finished it now. Spent ages sketching letterforms on my tube journeys to work this week. Eventually drew it all up over the last couple of days. Ran out of time because it's for my cousin's wedding which is this weekend.
    The couple are named Paul & Sonya, so the ambigram reads Paul & Sonya both ways up.

    I would liked to have spent more time on it, the S/& issue still needed to be resolved better and I would have liked to have added some calligraphic embellishments like the angels and demons one above, but to be honest I think they'll be pleased with it whatever. I've printed is on heavy watercolour paper and mounted and framed it, looks good.

    Thanks for the cursive idea bigtrick, it ended up influencing the look of the whole piece.

    This is the second ambigram I've ever done, they're really fun, almost like a typographic jigsaw puzzle.
