CRACKED EP. 28 One bad Eddie! Navigating a larger commission with Ted Ellison

As you know, at the end of all my episode’s I always ask my guest what their 5-10 year goals are. It’s been interesting…majority of the time, artists that are known for making smaller pieces say they would like to make larger pieces and get into more installation work and artists that make larger pieces say they would like to come back to making the smaller pieces they started with. Like many of you I usually make smaller pieces that don’t require much more than some sturdy hooks to install. But I too have been wanting to grow and expand into doing something bigger.

That opportunity came! I just finished my first commercial installation and as I made my way through the project there were a lot of steps that were new to me. I was very lucky to have a mentor helping me through the process. A very talented and experienced artist, Ted Ellison from Theodore Ellison Designs, based in Oakland. His first episode of Cracked was released October 5th 2021, episode 5, Season 1.
I asked Ted if he would be open to come back on with me and co-host an episode recapping my experience and together we could pass on the advice and guidance he had given me.

Join us as we crack it all wide open!
