Coat of arms of Ilmo. Sr. D. Manuel Novo Dabrio, designed by him and me and emblazoned by me. This composition shows the coat of arms alongside the full «chinapieria», the hand-drawn diapering pattern used to decorate the mantling. This diapering is hand-drawn and non-repetitive, each flower-like motif slightly different from the next. The image overlays the mantling onto the original drawing to show how the pattern was applied to it.

Coat of arms devised by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with an ogee outer contour and with a leather finish.

Coat of arms of Ilmo. Sr. D. Manuel Novo Dabrio, designed by him and me and emblazoned by me. Instead of placing the Sacred Heart as an inescutcheon, as was initially considered, which would have covered parts of an already complex shield and, depending on heraldic traditions, inescutcheons can be a source of debate, it was placed in the crest, in a prominent position above the wreath, presiding over the whole achievement.

G0115: the coat of arms of Dr Martin Testaferrata Moroni Viani, of Malta, as granted by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta and emblazoned by me for this grant. Heritage Malta is the Maltese national agency responsible for museums, conservation practice and cultural heritage. It was established under the Cultural Heritage Act of 2002. This image was used by Heritage Malta in a social media advertisement for the recruitment of a Deputy Chief Herald and Deputy Registrar for the Office of the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta. The advertisement was illustrated with this coat of arms, painted by me for Dr Martin Testaferrata Moroni Viani’s grant. It is an honour for me that my work was considered suitable for use in this official announcement.

Coat of arms of Yaroslav Pototsky emblazoned by me under his directions. [Académie internationale d'héraldique; 1952; figure 79] defines, in the case of a charge placed lower in the shield than its default position, the terms «abatido», «in base», «abaissé» and «abbassato» in Spanish, English, French and Italian respectively, and when it is specifically a chevron, [Académie internationale d'héraldique; 1952; figure 147], «cabria bajado», «chevron in base», «chevron failli (abaissé)» and «abassato». But [Real Academia Española; 2001; abatido] provides meanings more associated with mood and other negative connotations rather than with a geometric position; in geometry, for instance, «abatir» a plane means to rotate it through an imaginary hinge rather than to lower it, which creates confusion. Likewise, the English term «abased» also carries negative connotations. Therefore, I prefer to use the terms «en punta» ~ «chevron in base», which I believe are more illustrative.

G0115: the coat of arms of Dr Martin Testaferrata Moroni Viani, of Malta, as granted by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta and emblazoned by me for this grant. The photograph shows my hand-drawn delineation of the mulberry tree. The tree that I originally drew is in fact the mirror image of the one finally used in the coat of arms. This is a normal part of my working process: I draw the elements by hand in ink and then digitize them, which allows me to reverse an image when I consider that the mirrored version works better within the overall composition of the arms. In this particular case, the reversal also helped to maintain a certain visual continuity with another family representation of the same arms, which the armiger wished to take into account. A similar consideration applied to the bull, for which the armiger also requested a stylistic approach broadly consistent with an existing family representation, while still preserving my own manner of drawing and painting.

Coat of arms of Yaroslav Pototsky emblazoned by me under his directions. In some heraldic traditions, as in this case, it is the pelican that feeds its young with the blood from its chest; in other traditions, it is the heron. In all, it is a mystical symbol of supreme sacrifice.
