Wolf coat of arms medieval manuscript style

The illuminated manuscript known as the Lindisfarne Gospels were made on Lindisfarne by a monk called Eadfrith between 698 and 721. He created it ‘for God and for St Cuthbert’. The book contains the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John: the four Evangelists. The text of the Lindisfarne Gospels is in Latin with a word-by-word translation into Old English added between the lines in the 10th century. It is the oldest surviving translation of the Gospels into the English language. I have included the word ‘beginning’ to show that the roots of my work lie in the labours of artists who committed their gifting to God, I aim to do the same, ‘For the glory of God alone’.

Celtic Lioness (Red/Gold)

From an illuminated medieval manuscript in a Spanish cathedral.

Witness the whimsical marvel that is the 'This is Fine' design by Nemons, a delightful twist on the conventional medieval manuscript style illustration, tailor-made for aficionados of history! This masterpiece is a must-have for those who frequent local Renaissance fairs, history buffs or Shakespeare lovers, as it seamlessly blends tradition whilst humorously depicting a situation where things are clearly not going well, yet maintaining a façade of composure or denial. It's a satirical take on how people sometimes cope with stressful or disastrous situations by pretending that everything is under control, even when it's not.
