Chris Sickels



I wanted to share a couple pieces I ran across from artist Chris Sickels of Rednose Studios . He creates some amazing
puppets/sculptures/sets which appear in numerous advertisements, magazines, books, newspapers, packaging, character development and animation films.
Chris describes his ingenious work, saying "The sculptures sometimes look pretty crude, or the stitching is really rough, or the buildings are painted really sloppily. They're not poetic, there's no rhythm to them, there's no math to them like a good poem. But that's how my work is. My work isn't really graceful. It's usually pretty awkward - like if the puppet moved, he'd fall off or he'd trip or he'd run into a wall. It's a bit of beauty and a bit of awkwardness. And I think that's kind of how I am." --His works are an inspiration and I hope some day we can own some originals.
