About Nate Fakes
Where to begin?
Well, I sold my first drawing in 5th grade for five bucks. Ever since then, I knew I wanted to be a cartoonist.
My love for cartooning and my passion for writing, illustration, and storyboards expanded as I grew older.
While attending Wright State University, I was an editorial intern at MAD Magazine in New York City. I wrote and drew comics for MAD for over a decade.
Since then, I have been featured in The New York Times, Scholastic, Parade Magazine, major greeting card companies, and many other publications. I’ve also worked with major brands such as 21st Century Fox, the NFL, NBA, MLB, Costco, Brecks, and more.
My work brought me to the L.A. area, where I was hired at a major agency as a full-time cartoonist for Red Bull advertisements.
As for syndication with King Features, my panel, Break of Day, is printed daily in over 80 newspapers.
I have a new book, A Fade of Light, published by West Margin Press.
I’m also a member of the National Cartoonists Society and ASIFA Hollywood.
Regarding family, I have a wife, a daughter, and three rebellious cats at home.
FUN FACT: I’ve also appeared on Wheel of Fortune, The Price is Right, and Let’s Make a Deal. I’m kind of addicted to game shows…
