Artists We Love :: Chris Sickels
Chris Sickels, the artist behind Red Nose Studio, takes the idea of illustration to a whole new level. Instead of just drawing or painting his creations, he builds miniature wire + foam puppets and sets to get the picture he wants. He then poses and photographs his characters to create some pretty curious and odd situations.
Artists We Love :: Meredith Dittmar
Meredith Dittmar’s polymer-based sculptures take the idea of a traditional framed painting and breathe life into it with incredible detail and texture, bringing a real sense of depth and personality to the recently revived love of 3D pop culture. With her vibrant worlds and bittersweet, but charming characters, Meredith Dittmar’s art is truly groundbreaking. – Elliot Lobell
artists we love :: jamie salmon
If pictures are worth a thousand words than the photorealistic sculptures of Jamie Salmon are worth the complete Britannica Encyclopedia. Salmon’s art is on a whole other level of artistry and detail in ways that leave my mouth so far open I’m left with sore jowls
