  1. There is a crazy rabbit hole to go down for heraldic art. I only grazed the surface, but I loved learning about it! This is a heraldry-inspired emblem I designed for a client with a modern style.

  19. Switzerland has over 4,000 municipal coats of arms—many older than the towns themselves. It is a heraldic goldmine where tradition meets bureaucracy in Alpine style. #heraldry #Switzerland #coatsofarms swissinfo.ch/eng/swiss-odditie

  20. I am pleased to share that the James Howard & Family tartan has been officially registered with the Scottish Register of Tartans (#14834). Drawn from the colors of my coat of arms, it offers a modern expression of heraldic tradition in cloth. #Heraldry #Tartan #ScottishRegister #PersonalIdentity #Design

Today's pixel art practice, which presents what could be my coat of arms, featuring a crow skull (there are lots of crows where I live), a quill and inkpot, a tree on an island overlooking a calm sea and a knife and a pot (I'm always cooking). Can you guess the colors? (tip: in heraldry, certain patterns represent colors). #heraldry #coatofarms #1bit #blason #monochrome #pixelart #ドット絵 @pixel_dailies
