Ambigrams

I've always wanted to draw an ambigram. I was never confident enough in my drawing skills to try it out but I am extremely confident in my arranging of blocks into geometric patterns. So I came up with this one, if you can't read it, it's my name:

Hi Justin,

good ambigrams these are. The Justin-Russo one is clever as it used the negative space to form the 'U'.

and in case you're not aware, the style (squarish, right-angled, tight configuration) you used hinted of the Arabic Kufic Squares.

so, more ambigrams from you, hopefully..

we design some ambigrams, and kufic squares, too
