Chris Sickels has been freelancing in the editorial and advertising markets for over six years. In 2000, he officially started Red Nose Studio, providing 2-D and 3-D illustration, character design and development, and lo-fi stop motion animation.

His 3-D illustrations are built from a variety of materials. Sets and puppets are combination of wire, fabric, cardboard, wood, miniatures, found objects and anything within arms reach at the time.
