What a handsome achievement! Great use of ancient charges in new ways. :p
This is quite striking - a handsome achievement, indeed! I particulary like how the voided space between the demi garbs mimics the outline of the lower portion of an eagle displayed.
"ARMS: Argent a Cross Gules cotised by eight demi Garbs heads outwards Azure."
Blazon interpretation help….
OK, I guess I have never seen "cortised" used with charges. Is this an innovation? And I am not sure how an artist can assume that "demi-garb" means a garb sliced ear to root, instead of horizontally. Shouldn’t it be "demi-garbs divided palewise heads outwards"?
In the language of blazon doesn’t "demi" (as in demitiated) automatically mean divided in half vertically? That wouldn’t totally clarify the garbs but it would take care of part of it.

A demilion rampant is divided horizontally.

No, I don’t think so. But I don’t yet grasp the rule. Here is a demi-fleur:

But here is a demi virgin in the crest (A demi Virgin in a gown Gules):

The demilion is the lion, in its natural state of all-fours, divided vertically. Then what’s left is rampant. It is is demilion rampant, not a demilion rampant, if that makes sense.
I think "cotised" is just a typo. What they meant to say was "Cochised," referring to the sinister supporter, "garbed Azure," i.e., dressed in blue clothes.
Since the blazon is said to be determinative, rather than the emblazonment, this means the cross is supposed to be flanked by demi-Apache Indians dressed in blue.

For what it’s worth, Friar’s Dictionary of Heraldry says that demi means "only the upper half is depicted."
According to Parker’s A Glossary of Terms Used in Heraldry:
Demi, or Demy, i.e. fr. for half: when applied to an animal, its upper or fore half is always intended; when any thing inanimate, generally the dexter half per pale.
Demi-fleur-de-lis. The fleur-de-lis may be divided either per pale or per fesse; the former is usually intended.
A demi-lion may be passant, rampant, or in any of the other positions.
According to Brooke-Little’s An Heraldic Alphabet:
Demi A prefix applied to any charge which has been bisected and of which only one half (usually the upper, front or dexter portion) is shown.

Please. Cochised. Give me a break. 
Joseph, you may frighten the audience, everyone believes you 
Meanwhile it seems that in the blazon (Argent a Cross Gules cotised by eight demi Garbs heads outwards Azure) the words "heads outwards" are stressing the direction of the demi-garbs (parallel to the cross’ arms), making more or less apparent what part of a garb is shewn.
(When writing blazons is one’s daily business :banghead: , one tries to make them as brief as possible, sometimes overestimating the obviousness of what is being implied.)
