Yulia Brodskaya has swiftly earned an international reputation for her amazing “PAPERgraphic” illustrations which she delicately crafts by hand.

Incredible work.

If you follow me on twitter, you might have seen versions of this ambigram during the past two days. I’ve finally finished it (or at least I’m done tweaking it for the moment). I’ve displayed it in both directions so you don’t have to do a handstand to get it. It’s an inversion of give/take. This fascination with ambigrams seems to be sticking with me. I kind of love the incredible freedom and restriction that comes with the form, in dissecting and reassembling letterforms, pushing them to brink of illegibility and reeling it back in. Anyway, I’ll be adding this to my updated portfolio soon.
