I recently completed an emblazonment for Hugh Brady, and thought that I would share.

Very nice Eric!  Unique and tasteful.  I especially like the mantling, I’ve never seen anything like that before.

Nice emblazonment!

It occured to me that if Hugh has kids, they can difference their arms using the digits on the hand, i.e., the first born gets the arms as-is, the second born gets two fingers, etc.  :p

Very nice emblazonement! I immediately pictured it as a stained glass window.

Cheers,

Eric,

That is a very nice emblazon—I enjoy it from top to bottom!  I think the elongated shield is unique, and the emblazon would fit nicely on the side edge of a printed page, document, etc.

 

What medium did you use?

I love it!  Very unique and classy.  I can see Hugh ordering fluted champaign glasses to be etched with this one!  wink

They could even do no more than alter which finger is extended.

 

This is a truly interesting emblazonment. I’m sure Hugh will be pleased. Congrats!

Patrick, do I detect a subtle bit of dry wit?  If the particular finger isn’t specified in the blazon, I can just imagine what one could do with a bit of artistic license…

I am a very pleased customer and Eric was a consummate professional the whole time. It looks even better in person, and I can’t take my eyes off of it when at the house.

Moi? No, no, I have no sense of humor that I’m aware of.

It’s true.  He had it surgically removed years ago!  wink

Eric,

I really like this emblazonment!  :shock:  It reminds me of the "classy" cars from the 1930’s and 40’s with the long, gracefully flowing fenders like a Pierce Arrow, Cord, or Packard.  Awesome job!  :D

 

Take care,
