American College of Heraldry Try to keep the design as simple as possible. Crowded designs do not answer to this condition. - The Art of Heraldry

Arms are still meant to be means of identification and representation and should be easily recognized and remembered. Heraldry is at once both an art and a science. Its origins are rooted in the social and political structure which existed in Europe and the British Isles from about the year 1100 A.D. However, far from being an obsolete relic of a bygone era, heraldry has rather emerged as a vibrant and growing cultural form. Legitimate coats of arms are more widely used throughout the world today than ever before in history.

WINSTON-SALEM, NORTH CAROLINA, 13 October 2026 — Phoenix Press is pleased to announce the release of the successor to the wildly popular DRFRANKENCLIPPER'S ILLACERSTRATIONES HERALDICÆ. Appropriately titled DRFRANKENCLIPPER'S ILLACERSTRATIONES HERALDICÆ SECUNDUM, this book varies slightly from the more-densely-graphical content of the previous work in that there is a great deal more reference prose/text herein. The subject matter ranges from Royal Bastards, Arthurian Heraldry, The Ethiopian Crown Honours Office, a huge collection of Campbell arms, English Royal Badges, Attributed Arms, and much more—a truly eclectic and disparate collection. The reader might actually LEARN something (Ô horreur!) if they’re not careful. The author apologizes in advance for this (DrFrankenClipper couldn’t care less). All titles available through the author's website at https://www.amazon.com/author/davidrobertwooten.
