Jerry Craft: Hi, my name is Jerry Craft, and that is C-R-A-F-T, like arts and crafts, not like the cheese, which is K-R-A-F-T, which I got teased about for years when I was growing up. But it's cool because now as a professional artist, kids will come up to me all the time and go, "Is that your real name or did you make it up?" I'm like, "No, that's not a stage name. That really is my name. It is Jerry Craft." And like, "That's the coolest thing ever because it's craft and you're an artist." I'm like, "Yeah, it took 100 years, but yeah, it is pretty cool now," so I wouldn't have it any other way.
