We can all have our own coat of arms, which allows us to use the symbolic and communicative force of heraldry to identify and empower us because heraldry has refined during centuries a written and artistic language that projects our identity with prestige, clarity, universality, and durability.

My heraldic art transmits your ideals and life force to your arms.
·:·
Your blazon. The sign of you.
"Eternity is instantaneous, and an instant is eternal."
"Yes, the seats are limited. There are always fewer seats called "happiness" than there are people to fill them."
"The result is the most important thing."
"One's true worth shows as hardship increases."
"There are no regrets. If one can be proud of one's life, one should not wish for another chance."
"An ideal is only an ideal after all. As long as you embrace that ideal, the friction with reality will continue to increase. So you will someday face reality and will have to pay the price for your compromises."
"Taking responsibility for yourself is the first condition for humanity. One who cannot do even that is less than human. Just a dog, Kariya."
“Anything edible is acceptable. Extravagance is our enemy.”
“Of what worth is a king who fails to protect the powerless?”
I am an
Artist
My sculpture is partly influenced by
Assemblage, Deconstructivism, Cubism and Brutalist Architecture.
Without
Picasso, Warhol, Rothko, Bacon, and Caravagio
I would not trust myself as an Artist
With my knowledge of Art
and
Being a third generation stone carver
and after years restoring centuries old marble structures
I finally found my voice to say
I
Am
An
Artist
Despite fame fortune sanity or acceptance.

Telling the stories one painting at a time utilizing whatever medium best tells the story!
Art is the most profound means of storytelling - a single painting can speak personally to as many people who view it - it has the ability to communicate exactly what the Viewer needs whether it be inspiration, introspection or the simple joy of looking upon something pleasing to the eye…
"Art is never decoration, embellishment; instead, it is work of enlightenment. Art, in other words, is a technique for acquiring liberty." -Bruce Lee
We share our stories with others to communicate, to form connections and show our capacity for empathy and good will - every story carries within a part of the author of that story as an assurance of their sincerity in the effort - every story has meaning, and the stories told with art allow the Viewer to create their own meaning in addition to that which inspired the Artist to create their work…
