Chris Anastasides - Horror Artist
Today's guest is Chris Anastasideez, a New Jersey-based horror artist. Chris has been creating creepy works of art for five years and took his passion seriously when he founded I Scream Man LLC in
Art has interested Chris since childhood, earning him features in news articles in grade school and an art show in high school. Though he lost sight of his creative side when entering the workforce, he reignited his passion during the pandemic.
Chris's love for horror conventions began at the age of 13, but he also had to set that aside when he started working full-time. In 2019, he returned to the con scene and quickly realized he needed to become a vendor selling his horror-related artwork. Since starting his company, he has been vending at tristate area shows as much as possible.
Chris dabbles in various art forms, from polymer clay and canvas painting to digital art. He specializes in miniature paintings and expands into larger life-sized pieces. He enjoys replicating and customizing his pieces with self-made silicone molds filled with resins and expansion foams.
Before gaining the confidence to sell his art, Chris created fun projects for himself, including an ice cream cone inspired by the cover of the 90s horror comedy "Ice Cream Man." When he had the opportunity to meet the star, Clint Howard, Chris showed him the piece and was immediately asked by Clint and his wife to create a miniature sculpture for them. This moment was pivotal in giving Chris the confidence to sell his art to the world, and he’s come a long way in a short time
