Scribal Trading Cards and occasional Art

This a collection of the various small pieces I have worked on in 2019, 2020 and 2021.

Here there are images I have made for folks for classes including an Arms display for a Heraldry class, the Facebook Avatar Ring Site Tokens I made for Virtual Cynagua Winter Investiture 2021, and four select images of my Scribal trading cards.

Medieval lamplighter

This guy is what I affectionately refer to as my medieval Kayaker. At the time all I had was the1966 Hours of Catherine of Cleves book edited by John Plummer that wasn't a very good copy, and had clipped the tip of this image so it had no flames (as seen in my rendition above).

Since then, the archival photos have been put online by my very favorite Museum, the Morgan in LA. The documentation photos to the right are from the Morgan and show that he really isn't a cool medieval kayaker, he is a guy reaching up out of an acanthus vine and trying to light something with a brazier. The Hours of Catherine of Cleves, 121-M945_103v-104r

Long-eared squirrel being fed by a bird

Suspected to have come from Breviary Renaud de Bar, in Verdun. Much to my dismay I lost my notes for this little long-eared Squirrel. I didn't have time to re-research it's location before the display went live. My apologies.

Crowned Cat

I tried to stylize him a little differently so he'd be more cat-like and look less like a line drawing with watercolor fill. Which is what he is. I should have stuck to the watercolor & ink

This Crowned cat is from the Scheibler Armorial, Germany ca. 1450-1480
München, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Cod.icon. 312 c, p. 258

Two-headed Bird

This little kitty is from the Folio 185 recto (f 185r) of the Maastricht Hours, depicting a judgmental snail-cat. I couldn't help but paint this in my Laurel Hunt Journal for showing folks unfamiliar with my scroll the capabilities of my art. M.Graham Gouache and Noodler's American Eel Ink.
