The Many Faces of Hans Ulrich Obrist, a recent post on the Artfag blog, introduces Charles Gutte and his work of "carefully rendered drawings documenting the misspelling of the name Hans Ulrich Obrist", resulting in the fantastic work above.

I feel your pain. How many times has my name has been misspelled, often in various twists within the same publication.
