I won a calligraphy competition.
I created my own take on an illuminated manuscript, the text was a riddle the answer to which was 'an anchor'. In keeping with this the first capital letter had a ship as part of it, and the anchor's chain wove through the text, connecting to the anchor which sat in the bottom right hand corner.

Pretty damn fucking smart I think you'll agree. It was displayed in the Great Hall in Winchester, but I never even went to look at it because I was so ANARCHIC and PUNK.
