The legends say that Nick Nix was born with a #2 pencil tucked behind his right ear and he's been drawing funny ever since. Now 53 years from the starting line his drawings make people laugh while providing them with a memory that they can hold on to -or throw darts at- for years to come.
Having spent 25 years as a professional cartoonist/caricature artist Nick has drawn literally thousands of cartoon portraits at corporate events, weddings and parties from San Francisco to Cicero Indiana. His silly smile and a lifetime of experience provide a confidence in his craft that is hard to ignore.
As a consummate professional his only self assertion rings true "I'm not funny I just draw they way."
Our caricature artist was friendly, did great fun drawings, and showed up early. Would definitely use again.
Our caricaturist was friendly, made fast and fun drawings, and arrived early. Wonderful experience!
We were thrilled with the result after hiring Nik for our corporate trade show. The guy was a rock star! The people loved talking to him, he was so personable and engaging. Would hire him again every time!!!!
They were amazing! Everyone loved them! It just made our wedding SO much better! Highly recommend!
The drawings and service were great! Everyone LOVED their drawings and it was perfect take away for our guests. If you need someone, this is your team! So easy to work with and very accommodating!
I hired Cartoon Ups for my wedding reception on 9/4/22 and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it! Nick and his wife Patty were super sweet and the caricatures were so beautiful, fun, and detailed.
