I had to change my sig again.  It was too wide.

Working on the ambihicular hexnut.  I also draw optical illusions for fun.  
I don't think that the hexnut is a good idea for a sig, becuase it 
would be too big.  You could probably make a big ascii art with it, though.
I changed the form, without changing the illusion, below:

This is what I have so far...
  _     _     _ 
 / \   / \   / \
|\ /| |\ /| |\ /|
| | | | | | | | | 
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
|_|/|_|/|_|/|_|/

Trying to make it look like factory smokestacks instead of the hexnut thing.
