STANLEY LIVINGSTON
Stanley Livingston is a well know and respected Los Angeles area glass Artist. Mr. Livingston's Art Glass creations are owned and collected
by many prominent Hollywood Celebrities.
A celebrity in his own right, Mr. Livingston is also know to millions
of TV views as “CHIP” from the enduring TV Series, MY THREE SONS. With a twelve year long prime-time run, My Three Sons became the second-longest running situation comedy in television
history. The show originally aired from 1960 through 1972. The Series immediately went into daytime syndication. My Three
Sons helped launch the Nickelodeon Network in 1985, the TV Land Network in 1995 and, currently, the classic series can be
seen on the Hallmark Network. My Three Sons celebrates its 47th year on television this year!
During the long
hours of filming of My Three Sons, Mr. Livingston discovered and developed his other artistic talent – drawing and painting.
Mr. Livingston is an accomplished artist in all mediums – including oil paints, watercolor, acrylic and pastel. Intrigued
by light and color, Mr. Livingston began to experiment with light, glass and glass staining mediums around 1980. He subsequently
made Art Glass his specialty. In the past 24 years, Mr. Livingston has completed more than 1000 commissioned pieces of artwork.
Still involved in the Televisions and Motion Picture Industries, Mr. Livingston’s production company, FIRST
TEAM PRODUCTIONS produced the feature film, "CHECKERS". Mr. Livingston recently completed directing all twenty episodes of a new Children’s TV Series slated for airing
on PBS stations in 2008. Additionally, Mr. Livingston completed a pair of landmark Documentaries for THE ACTOR'S JOURNEY PROJECT. The "THE ACTOR'S JOURNEY and "THE ACTOR'S JOURNEY for KIDS" are now in release. Both documentaries
focus on THE BUSINESS ASPECTS of children, teens and young adults involvement in the entertainment industry.
In
between production duties, Mr. Livingston still finds time to dabble in the Arts.

STAINED
GLASS encompasses many forms and techniques. What most people refer to generically as “stained glass” is usually CUT and LEADED
GLASS and sometimes COPPER FOIL technique. However, there are many other stained-glass techniques – such as glass fired onto
or fused to other glass. There are other techniques where specialized enamels or acrylic colors are fired directly onto the
glass to delineate form and color. There are photographic processes whereby images are photo-flashed onto glass (usually used
put human faces onto glass). Some stained-glass Artisans combine some or all of the above techniques. I am one of those!
My
ART GLASS encompasses fusing hand-mixed acrylic colors and dyes onto a base of clear quarter-inch plate glass (or tempered
glass - if required). I sometimes fuse other pieces and types of glass - as well as glass eye catchers, glass jewels, glass
bevels, ornate copper and brass filigree to the Base Plate - depending on the effect I am trying to achieve with my subject
matter. This technique allows me complete control over my colors as well as the flexibility to achieve the intricate detail
only possible in copper foil technique.
Since the Artwork is created on one side of the glass base plate (the obverse
side) - the back (or inverse side) is smooth and completely weatherproof if installed in an exterior window or door. Additionally,
the 1/4" thick base plate is structurally very solid. By contrast, Cut and Leaded Glass technique tends to deteriorate and
weaken with age - the lead came gets soft and the weight of the glass causes the window to bow out, the pieces of glass to
crack, or in a worse case scenario - the whole window simply falls apart.
