About Me

I am a stained glass artist who enjoys making unique patterns by others & (more recently) myself come to life in stained glass. Instead of doing the heavy church style panes, I prefer to do suncatchers or panels that are unique and contemporary.

My Interests

Stained glass, computer games, Photoshop, politics, & sometimes, celebrity gossip, hahaha.

I'd like to meet:

Geesh, that changes on nearly a daily basis. Today, I'd like to meet Angelina Jolie (to commend her on her grace under fire), George W. Bush (to ask him how it feels to be a war criminal and to commit crimes against humanity), Oprah Winfrey (for business tips), the Olsen Twins (for the same reason), and Steve Jobs (to thank him for the wonder of Macs and ask "Why Intel Inside????")

Music:

Hmmmm.....The Darkness, P!nk (her less heard of stuff), Steven Vai, of course, all the classic rock. I may not be too into the indie stuff, at times, but I like the out of the ordinary. Even mainstream bands or performers, I prefer their B side tracks. If it's on the radio, I probably don't like it.

Movies:

Lately, I have been enjoying the Japanese films such as: Ju-On, the Audition, The Eye, etc. All time faves...Romance: French Kiss, Modern Romance. Drama: Glen Gary Glenross, Dangerous Liaisons. Comedy: Any Leslie Neilsen, Kung Pow. Horror: Any "living dead", Interview With A Vampire.

Television:

Nip/Tuck, Deadwood (sad to see it go), all of the Law & Orders, Reno 911, Survivor, House, Two and a Half Men. Plus a bunch of other crap that I just wait to the end of the season and do a sit down of all of it on DVD.

Books:

More authors than books themselves. Stephen King and Dean Koontz are good reads. For non-fiction Klaus P. Fischer has written two phenomenal books about WW2 Germany, Hitler, and the whole psychological aspects of that time in that country. If this is a time in history that you are interested in, his books are great reads. Also, just read "Bush on the Couch", kind of interesting.

Current Project

Currently I am working on a window sized panel of Pablo Picasso's "Don Quixote". Will probably post pics of part of the process. Kind of overwhelmed by this 320 piece panel. Future projects are going ...
