The red dragon design was inspired by D&D paintings. This force of ferocity is smashing through a castle window!! I call it "The Bursting Dragon!!"
I contacted Chris for a stain glass piece for my brother.
From the start it was evident that Chris really cared about the
quality of his work. He revised a few sketches until he was really happy
with the concept (as was I).
The end piece is fantastic, couldn’t be happier with it. It was also a
Christmas present and Chris completed the project well ahead of time.
Thank you so much!

It depends on size and intricacy of the piece. A smaller 12 piece creation could take a few days. A fifty piece specimen could take weeks to months. Also the pattern itself can take a while to perfect.
Creating the pattern is a meticulous and critical process. Often the customer’s vision of what they want changes during the process. This is where I potentially do a series of drafts, striving for the customer’s satisfaction. I design the initial sketch at no cost. When the customer has indicated that the pattern is what they want, I start the next phase which is to buy materials. Before I purchase the materials I require a down payment of 25% of the final cost. Once the project is completed the final payment is required, then I will deliver the work of art.
I create professional grade works of art, which customers treasure and I will spend more time creating a more intricate creation then my competitors. I'm looking for roughly $20 an hour for my services, which is a very competitive rate. Diversity is key. I have much experience with making one of a kind concepts. Whether it’s a prairie scene a beautiful flower all the way to spider man, I got this!
