There’s lots more art to see, as well as interviews with the artist, on the How magazine and Illustration Fridays sites. There are terrific, must-see portfolios of Chris Sickles’ work on his Red Nose Studio webpage, and his Magnet Reps page. The cover featured Boris Karloff in his burned Bride of Frankenstein makeup. The illustration was created for the Halloween 2007 issue of READ magazine. A distant windmill evokes his movie adventures. Sickles’ patchwork Frankenstein Monster is discombobulated by a fading rose. Sickles’ portraits are gorgeous and witty: Dickens is carried aloft on the wing of a feathered pen, Edgar Allen Poe has an inevitable raven perched on his head, and a witch makes herself spookier with a flashlight under her chin. His subjects can be charming and funny, like his goggled pilot flying a running shoe or an artist painting black stripes on a yellow cat, or they can be disturbing, like the images in Sickles’ The Look Book with its headless gauze chicken and an inexplicably impaled squirrel. Sickels’ meticulously composed scenes are infinitely fascinating. Props are fabricated from paper, discarded plastic and all sorts of repurposed bits and bobs. His Sculpey clay, wire and cloth characters, roughly 6 to 8 inches high, inhabit tabletop universes of cardstock houses and damask lawns under painted skies. Illustrator Chris Sickels, aka Red Nose Studio, works in 3-D.
