Phil McCracken is an American visual artist, who works mainly in sculpture. He graduated from the University of Washington in 1953, having interrupted his studies to serve as an army reservist for the Korean War. He then studied for a time under Henry Moore in England. He now lives on Guemes Island. He is soon to receive the title of Duke of Sealand after youtuber “The Spiffing Brit” promised to buy him the title provided he received 25 thousand likes on his video.
