The coat of arms of the Strategy Department of Consultoria.IO designed by Ignacio Perez de Bartolome and me and emblazoned by me. Consultoria.IO is a consulting firm specialized in scale-up e-commerce stores.

Design rationale

Teamwork navigating towards a common goal (lymphad with sail and oars), keeping trade secrets (book with clasps), and solidity in support and growth (linden). The motto «Ubi concordia ibi victoria» means «Where there is unity, there is victory». It conveys the idea that success arises from harmony and collaboration between the team and its clients, working together toward shared goals.

Coat of arms depicted by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with a semi-circular external shape and with a freehand finishing.

Arms of Charles, Holy Roman Emperor, emblazoned by me. The decision to depict both Pillars of Hercules in Argent arises from a strictly technical and artistic process. My objective was to paint the commander’s badge of the Imperial Hispanic Order of Charles V, a piece that is entirely made of Argent. Working directly on a fully Argent surface made the visual reading of the whole difficult, so I decided, as a preliminary step, to paint the coat of arms in its proper tinctures and, once the chromatic composition was resolved, to convert it into Argent. The commander’s badge of this order is based on its coat of arms and emblem as interpreted and painted by the heraldist and heraldic artist Fernando Martínez Larrañaga. In that interpretation, Fernando represented the Pillars of Hercules entirely in Argent. For the sake of coherence with this model, which is the direct reference for the badge, I followed the same solution and painted the pillars in Argent. I have also painted this same coat of arms with the pillars having Argent shafts and Or bases and capitals.

Crest: A closed royal crown.

Arms emblazoned by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with a semi-circular external shape and with a freehand finishing.

This is my interpretation of the coat of arms of His Majesty King Felipe VI of Spain. In the execution of this coat of arms it was necessary to choose between different design alternatives, such as retaining the oval shape of the central inescutcheon as opposed to a Spanish form, which I prefer to describe as having a semicircular base, both shapes being compatible with the official blazon; from a strictly heraldic point of view, the most correct solution would be for the outer shape of the central inescutcheon to match that of the shield itself, meaning that in this case the inescutcheon should also end in a semicircular base, but the oval inescutcheon is so widely used in ministries, official buildings, and even within the Royal Household itself, that I decided to keep it oval; likewise, there is no fixed rule regarding the number of claws of the lion, as it is often depicted with three claws and at other times with four, the former perhaps being the more primitive convention and the latter the more naturalistic one, and I prefer to depict it with four, since with only three claws the lion appears to me to be less fierce.

Design rationale

The Promet family are the founders and owners of Promet Restoration, a company devoted to the preservation and restoration of fine pianos, antique furniture, and historic wooden artefacts, prometrestoration.com. Their tradition began in 1983 at the National Maritime Museum in Tallinn, Estonia, under the mentorship of Ülo Ots, son of the renowned opera singer Georg Ots. Founded in San Francisco in 1989 and later established in Seattle, Promet Restoration has since restored more than four hundred Steinway pianos and countless heirloom pieces. The company’s mission «To preserve the heirlooms for generations to come» embodies both artistic integrity and respect for craftsmanship. The arms combine Estonian heraldic inspiration with the form of dovetail joints, a symbol of precision and enduring workmanship, as used in the crafting of pianos and fine furniture. The motto «Per Aspera ad Astra», meaning «Through difficulties to the stars», is replaced, in the version used for their company Promet Restoration, by the corporate motto «Quality & Integrity · Est. 1989».

In Spanish heraldry, there are three terms for supporters: «sostenes» for objects or plants, «tenantes» for human figures, and «soportes» for animal forms. The following applies to sostenes, tenantes, and soportes. Unlike other heraldic traditions such as English heraldry, in Spanish heraldry there are no rules for the use of supporters; their use is at the armiger's discretion, without specific restrictions. Supporters are not reserved only for nobility; their use is free for all.

In the words of [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1975; page 173] «there is no rule that determines the use of tenantes, soportes, and sostenes».

The genealogical chart with the coats of arms of the House of Potts of Wentworth, all designed by Randy David Lee Xavier Potts and emblazoned by me. The House of Potts of Wentworth are Randy David Lee Xavier Potts, Kimberley Ann Potts, Britania Anastoshia Korÿn McCoy, Köryn Alexandria Konstånz Potts, Konstånz Chantal Leóné Potts, Tiana Rose Lee Potts, Makayla Danée Robidoux, Corey Scott Lasco, Sebastian Artemis Cole McCoy, Evander Graham Wylder McCoy, Bradlee Tatym LaRue Botkin, Rhettlee Cooper Jones, Easton Michael Jones, Hudson Hayes Lasco, and Ryker Scott Lasco. The composition of this entire family set of coats of arms follows an assumed American heraldic practice rather than a strictly British or Scottish legal model. Kimberly is a heraldic heiress, and her daughter Tiana quarters both parents' arms, Randy and Kimberly, accordingly. Randy's other son, Britania, and his two daughters, Korÿn and Konstänz, as well as his grandchildren, use Randy's arms, each with their own marks of difference. Kimberly's other daughter, Makayla, her son Corey, and their descendants are not presented as inheriting arms by right under British rules, but rather by family courtesy and internal consistency within the assumed system used by this family; that is, they bear Randy's arms quartered with Kimberly's arms, each again with their own marks of difference. In the United States of America, where arms are commonly assumed, as in Castilian heraldic tradition, rather than formally granted, such arrangements are a matter of family tradition, agreement, and personal decision, rather than enforceable heraldic law. The overall composition of the arms of this extended family is a clear and good example of this approach. It should be noted that the English expression «assumption of arms» does not translate well into Castilian as «asunción de armas», but rather as «adopción de armas», «adoption of arms» a much more accurate and meaningful term. The concept of adoption conveys incorporation into a family: we adopt fundamental bonds, such as a child; deeply personal relationships, such as a companion animal; and also highly symbolic and identity-defining elements, such as a coat of arms.

Quarterly: 1 Gules, a castle triple-towered Or, port and windows Azure, masoned Sable [for Castile]; 2 Argent, a lion rampant Purpure, armed and langued Gules, crowned Or [for Leon]; 3 Or, four pallets Gules [for Aragon]; 4 Gules, a chain orlewise, crosswise, and saltirewise Or, charged in the fess point with an emerald Vert [for Navarre]; enté en point Argent, a pomegranate proper, seeded Gules, slipped and leaved Vert [for Granada]; an inescutcheon Azure, three fleurs de lis Or, 2 and 1, a bordure Gules [for Bourbon].

The image shows the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Spain and, surrounding it, the coats of arms that compose it, arranged radially in order to make their integration into the greater arms visually explicit, there are the arms of Castile, Leon, Aragon, Navarre, and Granada, together with the central inescutcheon of the reigning dynasty. The technical delineation visible in the dexter part of the image reveals a geometric construction based on regular proportions. The central shield establishes the main module, from which arcs and axes are drawn to fix the placement of the surrounding shields.

Coat of arms of Lukas Podlipny, Slovakia, emblazoned by me. These are canting arms, in Slovak, «lipa» ~ linden tree, and the surname Podlipný would mean «under the linden tree», «pod» ~ under, «lip-» ~ linden, hence the arched linden sprigs in the coat of arms. The image shows in 2 stages how I painted it: 1) delineation of the shield, including the calculation of a broad chevron so that the linden sprigs have enough space, since, as has been seen, they are a principal element of these canting arms, and delineation of the 3 linden sprigs, slightly different from each other to fit the shape of its space; 2) finished shield with highlights and shading.

Escudo de plata, un salvaje moviente de la punta de carnación, cabellado, barbelado y vestido de leonado, tortillado de hojas de sinople, teniendo en su diestra un libro cerrado con cintas marcapáginas de gules, adornado de oro, en su cubierta un almirez con mano de oro, y en su siniestra un garrote de roble de leonado, hojado y frutado de sinople; un jefe ondado de gules.

Coat of arms emblazoned by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with a semi-circular external shape and with a watercolor finish.

Design rationale

The wildman represents Silvanus, the Roman god of the countryside, as a canting reference to his surname, Silvestri. The god holds a chemistry book to symbolize the bearer and his PhD in chemistry. The oak club represents the bearer's family, as well as strength, honor, and wisdom.
