Nate Fakes – Designer

Hello! 👋 My name is Nate. I'm a full-time syndicated cartoonist with King Features, published in over 80 newspapers daily. Additionally, I'm an author, graphic novelist, and children's book illustrator. I live in sunny 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 well-reviewed books, like my graphic memoir, A FADE OF LIGHT.

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

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.

With all this said, here's how my work can bring your story to life and make it one of a kind...

💰 Collaboration: I work closely with you on everything from cover design to finished illustrations, all at a fair price that pays for itself. Nothing leaves the gate without both of our stamps of approval.

😃 Communication: My job relies on strong communication, and I welcome any means of communication throughout the collaboration.

🖊️ One of a Kind: Each illustration is hand-drawn, distinct, and skillfully crafted.

🗓️ I Have Never Missed a Deadline: I create a detailed schedule for the workflow—covering everything from when the roughs are finished to the final illustrations.

✏️ Rough Drafts and Revisions: I begin each illustration with rough drafts that will not be finalized without your approval and revisions if necessary.
