Janey Mac Celt and other fine tales



























































I just love myths and stories and was inspired to recreate them in the coats. This was my contribution to the the many stories I've enjoyed. The buckle is a picture of the Beowulf emblem from a recent movie. I thought it was cool and I will draw upon it as inspiration. I wonder which one of my two is Beowulf and which one is Grendel.

Sometimes it's hard to figure out which category a coat belongs in because I like to combine both the ink styles and the celtic styles.  They seem to work well together.  I've even found that the proud to be Canadian coats work well with the inking.  Especially the glow-in-the-dark paint that I found to make the coats visible in the winter time.
