about us

Craig David Jacobson
President/Owner
Craig started working as an apprentice to founder Kerry Dikken in 2009. Craig came to Blasted Art with a design background, having attended the Arts Institute Int'l B.S. Interior Design program and worked as an Interior Designer and a Graphic Designer for several years before joining the Blasted Art team.
As a designer, he was already familiar and even fluent in the software Blasted Art uses, and with his design experience it was immediately a good fit. Craig loved the limitless creative possibilities that came with sandblasting glass, and he and Kerry worked well together. He worked on and off with Kerry for over a decade, and was able to be part of some of Blasted Art's proudest projects.
"Many people have said to me that I have 'big shoes to fill', but I could never fill Kerry's shoes. Nobody can. Kerry was a superstar in his own regard. An artist and a genius that can't be replaced. My goal is not to be like Kerry, but it is to be myself with all the things Kerry taught me, and whatever I do, and whatever direction I take Blasted Art, I hope it would make Kerry proud."
​
Craig lives in downtown Minneapolis with his best friend and loyal companion, Mowgli (the world's greatest dog). His hobbies include playing French Horn and trumpet in a local community band and a jazz band, boating on the many lakes in Minnesota, spending quality time with friends, and going to the dog park with Mowgli.
