Pink Skies At Night, Sailors Delight with Aaron Bernardi and Jarod Crews of Cellar Door Trades

Today for the final episode of Season 4 of Cracked I’m speaking with the queen of sgraffito,  the Italian word directly translated to “scratched.” Her time consuming technique of flooding a thin layer of lead based powder paint over colorful patchwork like glass pieces, and then meticulously scratching it off revealing negative space designs that come together to create elaborate and rich stories.  Drawing from her experiences of her childhood and family, in her stained glass pieces Lil weaves a tail of greblins, witches, fairies and sea creatures to name just a few.

Let's get into it!
Join me as I crack it all wide open! 

For the final Patreon page drawing of the season,  I'm doing a drawing of 2 names!  One winner will receive the Map Mundi print + a set of greeting cards and another winner will receive a sgraffito stained glass white lily made by Lil and a set of greeting cards. The Map print is 11”x13.5” and the flower is 3.5”  I'll be doing a drawing for those on September 17th.

The combination of portraiture and learning to make stained glass windows brought her to where she is today. Today we’re talking about her personal experience with heartfelt portrait commissions, travel adventures of teaching, her in person classes as well as her online classes, and a couple really great glass paining glass hacks!

His work has been installed in houses, gardens and shops throughout the West Coast and greater United States.

Today we’re talking BBLs, BBGs Bounce Clubs, Baddies and so so much more today with Booty Glass Girls’ New Orlean’s artist Kyle Hubbs. Kyle is a self-taught stained glass maker who began his work with glass in 2014. After several years of experimenting with more traditional and geometric work, as a native of south Louisiana he looked no further than his own New Orleans for inspiration for his current and modern expression of glass. He credits the exuberance, attitude, style and self-confidence of young people in his local bounce clubs as the muses for his work. Bounce is a style of music that originated in New Orlean's bars and local nightclub scene during the late 1980s and early 90s. Using a call-and-response  style of flow inspired by the Mardi Gras chants that were common in New Orleans brass bands. It brought a new life to New Orleans’ own brand of Louisiana hip-hop and continues today to grow in popularity and be nationally recognized in current songs like Beyoncé’s “Get Me Bodied," Rihanna’s “Pour it Up" and Drake’s “Nice for What.”

There’s been a bit of controversy around Kyle because he's a male and coming into today, many of us thought he was a female. With that came assumptions and projected intentions and narratives around of his work. Then once listeners realized he was a man, really strong opinions about cultural crossover, exploitation and appropriation began to fill my DMs. I wanted to give Kyle a platform to speak on all of it, and he knew what he was walking into, so Kyle, thank you for showing up. And for you the listener, I ask that you hold your judgement til you listen to my talk with Kyle in it’s entirety. Duality in art is so important. Art that inspires conflict within us is important. Whether it's violent but also beautiful or full of both sorrow and joy. These are the conversation starters. Right? And these conversations are often the ones that can spark growth.

The core mission of this podcast is about celebrating stained glass art, and my love for the work of Booty Glass Girls is unwavering. Despite all my questions,  there's no question in my mind that the cross pollination of this contemporary culture and stained glass is still a smash hit. All right let’s get into it…

Join me as I crack it all wide open!
To see more of Kyle's work, his instagram is @bootyglassgirls.

For the Patreon Kyle is gifting a 20"x16" numbered print.  I’ll be doing a drawing for that 12 days after this episode is released!

Today on Cracked I'm joined by artist Erin from Erin Glassworks. Her work is inspired by nature,  with a focus on her local Florida wildlife. When she's not translating the natural world into a  glass design she's building community and educating other artists and small business owners through her social media. Today Erin and I are going through how she's running things down in Largo Florida, exactly how and where she's making her profit, the art of Patreon,  ways she's minimizing her impact on the environment through her packaging and how she's found, at least in my opinion, the most organic and thoughtful way to create an online stained glass community. To see more of Erin's work, her instagram is @eringlassworks and her website is eringlassworks.com.  For the Patreon page members Erin is gifting her guide to Social Media eBook, and for 1 member we’re doing a drawing for a set of her layout frames.

Today for episode 46 of Cracked I'm joined by Jacob Hinnenkamp, the son 1/2 of  Cincinnati's father and son duo Hinnenkamp Glass Crafters. As a young child Jacob remembers watching his father work on windows, mesmerized by the amount of detail and care that went into every piece. As a young adult he took on the craft himself and in late 2017 he finally decided to take the hobby to the next level and start marketing his work, creating a business making custom pieces. Today Jacob and are are going to discuss his personal designs as well as  his experience as being a licensed artist for the Charley Harper Studio, his take on inside angle cuts and his future of designing official Charley Harper patterns.
Let's get into it...

Hello and welcome back! Today on Cracked with Chevonne Ariss I'm joined by Lindsey Wonder. She is a Tucson, AZ based tattooer, stained glass artist, painter and illustrator. Lindsey received her BFA from The School of Visual Arts in NYC. She specializes in stained glass tail lights she makes custom for vintage cars, trucks and vans. Today we're going to chat about the parallels between stained glass and tattooing, her upcoming vending at Van Nationals, and different ways we all should tweak the way we approach waitlists to keep everyone honest! Let's get into it...

Join me as I crack it all wide open!

To see more of Lindsey's work her instagram is @Lindseywonder and her website is lindseywonder.com. 

 For the Patreon page Lindsey is gifting one of her sets of stained glass dice to hang in your rearview mirror. They measure about 3.5” x 2”, so they’re really the perfect size, not too big like classic fuzzy dice, not too small, and I’m speaking from experience because mine are hanging in my truck as we speak and I love them so much! I’ll be doing a drawing for those on Instagram 12 days after this episode is released.
