Heraldic devices made-to-order.

(Castles NOT included)
This design was drawn for a family who have a summer home in Minnesota.

Each element in the device represents the members of the family and what activities they engage in while on vacation.

These were printed on tee shirts as souvenir gifts to friends and relatives who visited them at the lake.
The design at right shows the passtimes of an individual displayed on his fanciful heraldic shield.
Here's one I designed for a calligrapher friend. Rather than the usual supporter of a lion rampant dexter, we have an appropriate animal: a squid, making sure the calligrapher's pen never runs dry.
Lots of arms on this one, too. This coat of arms has arms of coats as a decorative device.
When I design things for other folks I think of what I might do for myself.

The result you see at left.

Half drawn in pencil, showing how I designed it, and half finished in ink.
What use are they?

Good question. They make great book-plates, gifts, and the perfect accessory to your new McMansion.
