Meet Illustrator Chris Sickels
“Displacement” by Red Nose Studio.
Art, craft and storytelling runs in my family. Despite the proliferation of modern content and media filling our small and large screens as a society, sometimes something new comes along that harkens back to the old, prompting a warm feeling cascading up from the belly to form a smile on my face.
I became aware of Indiana native Chris Sickels of Red Nose Studio and his throw-back 3D illustration and stop-motion animation craft 11 or so years ago after watching this video, and have followed his journey on Instagram and in print and digital interviews.
After a bit of back-and-forth correspondence between my northern California office and his central Indiana home workshop, we tightened the 2,311-mile distance with the following interview.
