This is the flag I designed for our crew almost 2 years ago and was approved by the captain for our shippe "Carrion" last year.

The Latin "CRUOR ET NEX" means "blood and death" but in the most bloody, violent and graphic of meanings.

Our captain [Graves] mentioned that the scroll reminded him of tentacles, which was unintentional. But he liked it more because of that fact.

The captain painted a version of it, but I only have a REALLY fuzzy image of it. Not very clear. It is my intention to some day sew it, and use separate pieces of cloth, stitching and paint to detail it as in the image I posted.

That, my dear sir, is a fine, fine flag. Aye. A fine flag indeed.

Thank you both very much for the kind comments.

It was fun to do, but took me a while and many other similar designs before this one just "clicked" with me.

I looked at old engravings and sculptures and such as inspiration so that it would hopefully look more like a design of the 1700s.

If I could just now find some wool bunting that would be great. I have no idea where to find it though. I might just have to use linen instead.

I have the following commercially-produced flag:

... which I'm only brave enough to fly on Hallowe'en, lest my house be mistaken for a biker hangout.

Does anyone know where this design comes from? It looks quite modern in its styling. Is it perhaps associated with a sports team?

I recently finished one of two flags for myself. I call this one the crossed pistols.

Now I need to recreate it on a piece of weathered canvas about 8 feet by 12 feet for my wall. Aye. I'm planning a big cuss of a flag.

Wow, that's a really cool flag!

the bar on the wenches chest doesn't quite match the motto,

Yah... but it's a classic bit from the early days of porn...... ;)

pluss it's more titillating that way..... :(

Well "titillating"wouldn't have been the word I had used in this special case, but I do get your point! :P
