I'm juggling several projects ATM (more on those soon), but my collaboration with Stained Glass Geek is something else - an exciting adventure in the realms glass, lead, light and colour. I think it's an underused art form still largely stuck with old fashioned and religious associations in the public perception. I'm developing many ideas and concepts what could be done with it, as most of you might have noticed over the months. But what better 'proof of concept' then to kick it out water with a bang - using pop culture iconography as subject? For me it's an ode to what I consider the most groundbreaking animated televison series of the last decade: Steven Universe. With their supernatural virtues the protagonists of this show have something saintlike, which made it fun to base a design around them like a church window. Anyway, very exciting how this'll turn out - the heavy lifting (the actual making) is on the capable shoulders of Arjan now.

Last few weeks there has been a major preparation going on for the upcoming challenge! Together with Leo de Wijs I'm about to embark into the world of Steven Universe!
Leo created the design, and I'll translate it into a glass puzzle/window ^^
