New design available on etsyasbackpatchort-shirt!
“An ægishjálm I bore up before all folk… so that none dared come near me, and of no weapon was I afraid, nor had I ever seen so many men before me, and yet deemed myself stronger than them all; for all men were greatly afraid of me.“
This is the first design from a collaboration with the talented artist Sofia from Fiskr Art. Hand drawn on paper by the artist and digitally redrawn by us. You can learn more about her works at this link https://www.instagram.com/fiskrart

Thank you so much, @hexawen for sharing this beautiful photo of you wearing our backpatch! The site in the photo is the fantastic Grianán Ailigh hillfort, in the Inishowen peninsula, County Donegal. It’s great to see where our prints go, especially when they happen to be in the same places we loved and visited.

As one of the most puzzling and misinterpreted creature, the wolf has been at the very centre of cults and mythologies throughout history. In ancient times, Roman era, and Greek mythology, to the late Norse age and its depiction of the infamous Fenrir, the wolf has been a key figures in many cultures. Even if it’s not often associated with it, it played a pivotal role in Celtic culture as well. The wolf is not as present as other animals or zoomorphic representations in Celtic art, not like the boar, the eagle or the deer. Even so, there are mentions of the wolf in Celtic lore, particularly the very late one from the Middle-Age. Soon after Cormac mac Airt, the future High King of Ireland, was born, he was carried off and raised by a she-wolf for a period of time in the caves of Kesh, alongside her other cubs. In the tale of Táin Bó Cúailnge, the goddess Mórrígan appears under different shapes to the legendary hero Cú Chulainn, one of these being the shape of a wolf. Interestingly, the wolf plays a key role in the Celtic year cycle as well. It has always been associated with the first part of the year, usually the time around January, in different areas of Scotland and Ireland. Still today, in the Gaelic-speaking Highlands and islands, people refer to the first month of the year as “Faoilleach”, originally associated to a whole period in the Scottish agricultural calendar. The name has a close link to the wolf figure: in fact, “faol” or “faol-chú” means wolf in Gaelic, and it would appear to be a very old term, as wolves have been extinct in Scotland for centuries. In Scotland, the most notable representations of wolves are to be found in the Pictish culture, such as the one majestically engraved on the Ardross stone, 30 miles north of Inverness. This print is a modern reinterpretation of one of the most significant animals celebrated in hundreds of years of lore, legends and stone carvings.

Hér Ferr Hafdjarfr – Here sails the Sea-Brave.
Handpulled screenprint, available as t-shirt and backpatch: https://www.etsy.com/shop/limbsdisarm
Bryggen, Bergen, Norway – Some time during the early middle ages an unknown master runer carefully carved a Juniper stick with outstanding and meaningful designs. Still incredibly evocative of that past, the stick represents a complete Viking war fleet in all its power and glory, probably ready to sail, with dragonheads and pennants dominating the scene. On the reverse side of the stick is written Hér ferr Hafdjarfr, which literally means ‘Here sails the Sea-Brave’, either meaning an entire fleet or referring to the particular name (Hafdjarfr) of a local sea-bold.
Juniper itself was definitely not a random choice for the job. Part of the cypress family, it is one of the most widespread conifers and Vikings, being seamen and adventures who spread throughout Europe and beyond, would have found it everywhere. From warm and sunny Mediterranean places to the freezing landscapes of Norway, Greenland and Iceland, thus infusing a sense of longevity and immortality.
This print is the celebration of one of the most evocative archaeological findings in Scandinavian history and, in particular, of its Viking Age.

GOODS GIRLS ON WHEELS IN TEL AVIVby Grace García
1. Tell us about your work it in a few lines
Stolen Goods started with a series of designed roll-top backpacks, focused on comfort and individuality. each bag was hand printed with silkscreen printed patterns and illustrations that we made. The special patterns are the main theme for the brand that has clean and minimalist cuts but with a lot of details in the imagery that we like to draw. Each print is intentionally uneven, and every bag is a unique and original Piece.
2. How did your ideas come up?
We both share a studio together and share a similar artistic line and influence, we wanted to start something that takes our drawing out of the paper and frame and to move it to basic everyday accessories, and make them unique. Every bag is made individually with a lot of work and thought. The main idea is to make new patterns for every new series of bags.
3. Where are you based and why?
We are based in Tel -Aviv, because this is where we’re from. But it can
change anytime.
4. You are a girls on wheels?
Yes, since 1990.
That’s why it was important to us to make a bag that will be
comfortable for riding. It’s very light weight and sit tight in your
back. It has a side zipper so you can easy reach for your stuff in
your bag even while riding.
5. Any future projects?
We are planning to make more bags designs, T-shirts and pajamas. And working on our next exhibition.

THU'UM – THE DRAGON LANGUAGE OF SKYRIM
Books about the Dragon Language, a constructed language for the action role play game The Elder Scrolls V: SkyrimbyBethesdas Softworks.
3 months of hard work. Some content in the book and especially the dictionary content is taken from Thuum.org. Thank you!
The dragon script font in the books distinguishes from the original one. I made a more simple looking version for reading and it fits better together with the Fedra.
I know it still has mistakes and the grammar may not be that correct but this ist just a sort of protoype!
The focus was based on the design process and not on the content of the texts since I studied Communication Design and not Linguistics. But I did my best to make the content as correct as I was able to. It still needs proof reading.
And I’ve choosen English and not my native language German because I wanted that everyone can read it. Besides that it would have been much more work to translate the full actual dictionary of nearly 2500 words into german. And explaining the grammar also in German would be a bit different so I decided to make it English. The Grammar of the Dragon Language ist also based on the English Grammar.
Plus I had only 3 month for doing it. quite not much time.
The Dragon Language does not belong to me, it belongs to Bethesda Softworks. I cannot sell it and I won’t do it without any permission.
