How the Coat of Arms Became
What is "by Anthony wlm. Hernandez"?
First of all, the question I get asked often is, "Why the Coat of Arms, Anthony, and what does it mean?"
Okay, well, here it is;
I wanted to split a Coat of Arms in four(4) quadrants in a nice visual way. It would bring more dynamics and complexity to a simple brand. More layers than what you see. And I love the mystery!
A Coat of Arms is a "shield"; and usually on top you put a family crest which would be the family surname.
A coat of arms is a representation of family. The colors chosen is like the flag for the pride of the family. It also boasts of the family's achievements. There's an enormous amount of pride and respect of this for the families coat of arms and crest.
The coat of arms in representation for me in my achievements comes by the way of battling internal dark demons and extinguishing their fire and starting my own flame with God. With Him, He's brought me through. Not around, not over - but through it!

How the Coat of Arms Became
What is "by Anthony wlm. Hernandez"?
What it took... not belief in myself, but the belief of others in me.
My story begins well before the are was developed. Like so many others, the pain inside pushed out this creation outlet. I jumped into major depression with both feet. I attempted suicide for the first time around middle school and this ill-darkness stayed continuously with me lurking and whispering. It led me to a place that was so dark and with so much pain and anguish that I could feel my skin and bones vibrating within. I found out that art and creativity was a release. My pain from outside factors was felt great on my inside and I couldn't express it in words to my Mom.
Sports was a way to let the anger out from an overwhelming feeling of all these emotions and thoughts and feelings I had was all crashing into each other and impacting my from the inside-out. I was able to relinquish a little bit of this mixed-batch of emotions and fury from my childhood instability. A mom that was loving, yet extremely angry, scorned and embittered herself from her past hurts, traumas and pain.
A single mom, raising four(4) of us; I was the youngest. I was able to view my older sibling went through. I had the best seat in the house... This is how it began.
To be continued for now...
