Hey guys, i’ve been posting all my new stuff on deviantArt.  I have a few pieces there, and you can more easily comment and follow and stuff there.

I just finished this awesome 8-bit Link that was a whole series of square pieces that were pretty difficult even with my awesome Taurus 3 ring saw.  It’s not my best execution, but i love my design.  All square against a circular background, made up of a patchwork of lots of different textured clear, which i think might be my favorite kind of glass.

I also have a few pieces for sale, my old Batman and Superman, and a new green 5×5″ Starfleet emblem i just made.  So go check out my etsy.

And i made a facebook page for the stained glass shop i go to, which i would be lost without.  If you’re in the Baltimore area, check it out!

In case you’re wondering what happened to me, i totally had babies.  Twins.  I did have a kid already, but she was old enough to use a fridge and toilet herself.  Babies are needy that way.  And in baby-cleaning the house, my workshop got all kinds of shitted up.  But i’m finally getting back on track.

Here’s the last piece i did before i went on my diaper hiatus.  It’s two separate panes.  One a ribcage, cause they’re badass, and one inspired by the way the Zodiac Killer signed his name.  Then i made a transparency between the two with the famed Zodiac Killer letter.  Because i’m awesome like that.

I’m most proud of this one because it’s versatile.  It looks different depending on which way you hang it.  You can see all 3 layers either way, but you can see more ribs or more red depending on your mood.  I took this with me to the last convention i sold at (a Horrorfind i think) but nobody liked it so i’m just gonna keep it.  Screw you guys.  It’s hanging my shop window now.

Then i started this fly before the babies were born.  Two years ago.  And i just finished it up last week.  I made a fly mostly because i had this cool piece of scrap glass that looked like wings.  So i kind of had to.  I thought it would be neat to make something pretty out of something common and ugly.  Plus flies have always scared me, ever since i was 5 and i saw the original Amityville Horror, and the flies were all swarming on that picture or whatever it was.  So this is my homage to that, my first horror movie, and all the Fly movies ever, Price and Goldblum alike.  And i topped it off with a quote from Return of the Fly from the best band ever, the Misfits.

The wings are a separate layer, because i thought it would look way cooler that way.  And i was right.  This one i’m keeping too.

I’m keeping everything i do for now.  Because i made all this awesome glass and sold it all.  Then i looked around my house and i had nothing to show for it.  So i was all like, screw that.  I’ll get back to making and selling.  But for now i gotta pimp my house out.

Last night i finished up a butterfly for my kid, too.  Not my usual style, but when a 9yo asks for a butterfly instead of a monster, what’re ya gonna do?

Tonight i start on my biggest piece yet.  It’s gonna be 24″ x 30″, and based off the cover of a Mastodon album.  Suck on that!

Oh yeah, i totally started a deviantArt page.  So, you know, follow me or whatever it is you do there.

Been away from the shop for awhile been i’ve been tinkering here and there. I just finished a commission piece, the triforce from The Legend of Zelda. I decided to do the design from the Twilight Princess:

Here’s two Ange finished right around Christmas:

And back in February, i finally finished Gryffindor. It was sold at the CENTERSTAGE Radio Auction.

Hopefully lots to come! I’ve been spending more time in the shop. And after a brief visit to the March Horrorfind, i’m pumped up to get things going for the August show, where i’ll be setting up. I’ve got some awesome collaborations in the works, too!

Uh, holy crap.  It’s finally Christmas, which means i can finally show you the stuff i’ve been working on all month.

Here’s my favorite – the Bride of Frankenstein.  The clear is a really cool iridescent textured glass.  I was going to use red in the background, but my wife nagged me until i reconsidered.  I’m extremely happy with this.  I want to make another once i’ve got a ring saw, because i didn’t get as much detail in the face as i wanted, but, you know, tough titty.

These two i finished a few weeks back.  I’ve been trying to do a Creature design for quite some time, because he’s my favorite Universal Monster.  Hard to render in glass.  I found this awesome textured green that looks like scales that i just had to use.  I finally worked it out:

Then here’s the Maltese Falcon.  Yeah, i’ve never seen the movie, so i wondered how well it was going to turn out.  I’m really happy with it, i think it looks like old WWII propoganda.  I broke away slightly from my ‘starburst’ background, which made my wife happy.

Then here’s another pair that i finished at the last minute.  I love the glass i used in this one – the sorcerer’s hat from Fantasia.

And this was a nice easy one to do, but it has a nice look to it.  The BMW logo.  I had to handpaint the letters on there (they’re silver, it’s hard to tell in the pic).

That’s all for now!  There’s two my wife did that i’ll post in another day or two.  I’m laying off the glass for at least a few days!

Hardly a day has gone by that we haven’t been in the shop working on something!  Between finishing our Christmas orders, and making gifts for people for ourselves, our fingertips have been cut and grinded to hamburger!

I still can’t really show you anything, but here’s a little 4″x4″ panel that i just finished.  Though i can’t tell you what it’s for.  I designed it using photoshop in a few minutes, using glass i had sitting around.  I like it.

And thanks to the ever-helpful Bill George over at Red Hot Planet, here’s another shot of my glass with a pin-up girl.  This is Kirstyn Indgjer.  What’s hotter, her or my glass?

Lastly, here’s an animated banner for anyone who gives a shit enough to link to me.  (Click this goofy black bar and it’ll take you there.)

It’s been a busy time at the EVILNICE camp (not that it’s an actual camp. If i was stuck in the woods with no place but some shrub to do my business, rest assured stained glass would be the last thing i’d be thinking of. i’d be all like ‘how about a nice roll of cottonelle’ and ‘while you’re at it, i’d like a turkey platter covered in gravy kthnx’). I’ve been working on “The Christmas Orders.” I can’t show them to you, naturally, but i do love to show off, so i’m posting cool strips of them, so you can’t actually see what’s going on!

In other news, my wife finished her first piece. It’s a cool lighthouse. Excellent use of glass and colors. This one wasn’t a custom piece, i suggested she pick something simple out of a book, but for her second piece, (a secret, due to the whole Christmas dealio) she had me design a horribly complicated piece. It’s turning out well!

And since i love posting pictures, even when stuff’s not done, this is how far i left Griffyndor, before i put it side for the holidays.

Here’s another installment of Evil Dread’s Horror Hotties, featuring Melinda, with my robot glass as a special guest!

Yeah!  So after a brief hiatus i’m back in the shop and working!  Here’s what’s new:

• I’ve started on my Christmas orders.  I’ve got 6 badass designs to do.  Unfortunately, i can’t show you any of them until after Christmas!  How much that that blow? 
• My good friend Bill George hooked me up with another model shoot.  It’s another hot chick you’ll never get to make out with.  How much does that blow? 
• The super-hot Monique Dupree left me a comment.  An amazingly hot chick that i’ll never get to make out with.  How much does that blow?
• My wife just finished her first piece of glass.  And, she’s good!  Now we’re a fucking team!  Although now i can’t hog all the credit.  How much does that blow?

For those of you who love the glass (or the Harry Potter), here’s an update.  This has been some hardcore serious grinding.

And for those of you who love the ladies, here’s another photoshoot courtesy of good friend Bill George.  This is the lovely Melinda Jo Clevenger, and my robot  (Melinda is the one with the boobs.  Robot, sans boobs).

Remember that Patience Holmes pic i posted?  She was just featured in EVIL DREAD’s latest installment of HORROR HOTTIES.  And my glass is there, too!  EVIL DREAD is an awesome site devoted to horror news that favors asian cinema, which i’m a huge fan of.  And Patience is, you know, hot.  Chikity-check it out!

Here’s another taste.
