Today’s guest is my old Friend, Sadiki Malik. Sadiki and I met and bonded around the time of the emergence of the neo-soul sound in Philadelphia. As an artist, among other things, he is a self-described upcycler of old magazines. 90% of his art with this medium is hand-cut paper, but he also does unique leather work. Sadiki is also a respected chef and culinary artist and has been on the creative scene in Philadelphia for many years, working with artists, some of whom are now household names. We discussed a range of ideas, so let's dive into this special 2-hour conversation with an old friend and creative thought partner.

Today's guest is Chris Anastasides, 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 2022.

Art has always sparked Chris's interest since childhood, earning him featured in a grade school news article 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 also began as a kid at 13, but he had to set that aside when he started working full-time and “adulting.” 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's artistic repertoire is as diverse as it is impressive. He ventures into various art forms, from the traditional canvas painting to the modern digital art. His specialty lies in miniature paintings, a skill that he seamlessly transitions into larger life-sized pieces. His unique approach involves the use of self-made silicone molds filled with resins or expansion foams, a testament to his old-school practice and innovative spirit.

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 personally. 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 period of time.
