Artist John Langdon, the real-life model for Robert Langdon - protagonist of Dan
Brown'sThe DaVinci Code, Angels & Demons, and The Lost Symbol - and creator of the six
mysterious symbols used in Brown's novel, and the Tom Hanks' film, Angels & Demons, is
releasing the first of six signed and numbered, hand-worked etchings, one for each
Ambigrammatic image. Langdon and Chicago art dealer Sam Heller
www.samhellerfineart.com have worked since last summer, essentially in secret, until assured
of achieving the many artistic and technical goals of a very complex project.
An Ambigram is a word, or cluster of words that - through brilliant distortions of traditional
letterforms - when turned upside-down remains completely identical.
