Nate Fakes – Designer

My name is Nate. I'm a full-time syndicated cartoonist with King Features and published in over 80 newspapers daily. I'm also an author, graphic novelist, and children's book illustrator. I live in Los Angeles, California.

I've worked as an in-house cartoonist for an agency where I created Red Bull cartoons for worldwide advertising campaigns with storyboards, print ads, digital ads, and television commercials. I also have a syndicated series, Break of Day, which is read daily in newspapers worldwide. Plus, I'm a published author with my graphic memoir, A FADE OF LIGHT.

My work has appeared in MAD Magazine, the New York Times, greeting cards, books, major ads, and just about anywhere that appreciates my humor and art. Some of my biggest clients are Disney, Scholastic, and Warner Bros.

I'm also a strong social media presence, with close to 100K followers on Instagram.

Additionally, I'm a proud member of the National Cartoonists Society and ASIFA Hollywood.

I'm primarily interested in illustration, cartooning/comics, children's books, graphic novels, and cover art. Preferably anything with a humorous twist. However, I'm open to projects of all kinds.

I ensure that any project I take on is the best I can possibly do. I never publish anything that isn't up to my professional standards. Additionally, I communicate well and consider each project a team effort. My clients get a detailed schedule to ensure we're always on track to complete on time, rough drafts, finals, and recommendations on what you'll need to make your book the best it can be. Nothing leaves the gate without both of our stamps of approval.
