I Need a Coat of Arms

May 8, 2008 · 2 Comments

Check it, I whipped up some sweet coats of arms last night. First I went with the basic fleu-de-lis design with, of course, that turtle from the “Can You Draw” ads that used to be in the back of Parade Magazine.

Turtle Coat of Arms

Then I was thinking maybe the turtle is wrong. I’m up here in the PNW so maybe I should have like a bigfoot or something instead:

Then I said “naw, let’s go with the turtle.” But the basic design needed some updating. So…

Fancy Turtle Coat of Arms

Frankly that felt a little fancy so I went back to the basic design. Only with a little something extra.

New Coat of Arms

Nailed it.

    My man, my man…you have indeed nailed it. There’s an Irish meterosexual in my office that just got married. He’s trying to retain his manhood by thinking up a tattoo. Considered his family coat of arms, but I think personalizing it like you did is a much better idea. It’s such a great idea I’m considering one myself. You take orders? Could you come up with a feminist one for a lesbian living in Philly…I’d still like the booze bottle at the bottom…maybe with the pirate since you picked the turtle. Love the flowers…I’m a princess.
