Episode 030 - Krista Perry

We are BACK and we are delighted to chat with artist and illustrator Krista Perry. Currently based in Massachusetts, Krista loves making art that is steeped in humor, bright colors, and vintage nostalgia. Her sarcastic and fun-loving style is not only apparent in her work, but also the clients she attracts, including, but not limited to, Nickelodeon, Red Cap Cards, and Jameson Whiskey. In this episode, Krista touches on her sketchbooking and idea generating process, the power of nostalgia, how growing up a misfit contributes to her work and ethic, and the unwavering motivation of mortality.

Episode 029 - Hannah Medeiros aka "Sad Girl Tattoos"

The Seedcast was lucky enough to catch up with tattooer and painter Hannah Medeiros. Currently working out of Torchbearer Tattoo in Providence, RI, Hannah does primarily black and grey work with a darker mood and undertone, living up to her moniker, “Sad Girl Tattoos.” This MassArt grad has been featured in various magazines, traveled for guest tattoo spots, and is highly coveted by a vast and loyal client base. In this episode we discuss how she developed her style and grew the demand around it. Hannah talks about the emotional strain that comes with the permanence of the medium, trading autopilot productivity for a more mindful, self-aware mode of working, and leaning into your sad moods and making them work for you.

Episode 028 - Jasper Herr

This week on The Seed Cast we chat with bladesmith and blacksmith Jasper Herr. Jasper started his journey with forging classes and workshops that created a humble fascination. Frustrated by the difficulty of the medium, he quickly became engrossed with what it takes to master it. Over the past few years Jasper has built his business around blades and metal work that are equal parts utilitarian and artisan. In this episode, Jasper walks us through the technical aspects of manipulating metal and the importance of cultivating relationships to both handmade objects and their makers.
