In 1996, Hickman created a "Cthulhu Idol" statuette based on an earlier illustration he had created for the Baen Books edition of H.P. Lovecraft story The Call of Cthulhu. The statuette was produced and distributed by Bowen Designs. He also sculpted a bust of H.P. Lovecraft. Limited edition replicas of both sculptures are sold at high prices to collectors.
