I am extremely pleased to share a scan of my arms done by Sunil Saigal. I have not yet received the artwork and expect, as usual, it will prove more magnificent than this scan. Mr. Saigal is a professed amateur whose work I came across on facebook - although he does not take commissions, he very generously agreed to do my arms for his own enjoyment. I am most grateful for his kind generosity. The achievement is painted in gouache on Fabriano 100 % cotton mould-made water color paper and is sized A4.

I love seeing a bigger version of this.  There’s a lot of detail.  Such a great piece that will be great in your collection.

Brad, I take it you refer to the bookplate, which Marco Foppoli just completed for me, and which he has posted on his own Facebook page.  Marco is a brilliant heraldic artist, whose work I admire very much, and I am delighted to have this bookplate - the second he has done for me.

Josh, Kathy "almost" always selects high class artists… I have managed to snicker one of my messyface MS Paint achievements into her collection. raspberry

Sunil’s rendering is one of my favorites.
