Custom Heraldry & Coat of Arms Artwork

Tell Your Story in Symbols

Throughout history, coats of arms have told stories of courage, ancestry, and identity — a visual language written in line, color, and symbol.

At Zoetrope Art, I create custom coats of arms, crests, and heraldic flags that bridge centuries of tradition with contemporary design. Every piece is designed and then hand-drawn, carefully crafted to reflect your legacy, values, and spirit.

The Process

  1. Discovery & Consultation
    Share your story, values, and any ancestral references or ideas you have.
    (Optional: genealogy research assistance available.)
  2. Draft & Sketches
    I provide initial layout and symbolism options based on your vision.
  3. Detailed Illustration
    Each coat of arms is hand-drawn with care and color, using watercolor, or colored pencil.
  4. Final Delivery
    You’ll receive high-resolution files and physical prints  — ready to hang, gift, or register.
