Eurocon Banner

Really awesome banner by my buddy, Jason Seiler. It was so great to be part of this line up of incredible artist/caricaturist. Vienna was amazing as well as their beer and sausage. I ate way too much sausage. 

Caricature Theory

Beasted Video

This is one of the videos I presented at this years Eurocon. It's a fun little home video about my new book BEASTED. In it, I go over a few cool neat details of the lay out and the ideas. If you are interested in buying one, please visit amazon or www.natekapnicky.com where you can also buy mini Beasted which has all different art. ''Like'' Beasted as well, where I update all my information on my next projects as well as post ideas and photos. Thanks for all your support and inspiration!

Life sketches June 3rd

This is a video of me last year being interviewed by Wilfred Lee from Seoul South Korea. We talk about Beasted the book, caricature theory, and life. Some times there are breaks in the video but that is part of our connection problem that was recorded during the conversation. Hope you enjoy!

Chem trails to an end

It is truly amazing how we humans some how come together to help find solutions to big problems with different reasons for why we participate. In doing so, We see so many perspectives that give us more angles and edges on what can and will be done, leading to the best idea to solve the problem. Whether you're a sceptic or open-minded, this interview will give you a great perspective positively and spread some much needed awareness your way. For the sake of our awesome sky's and the food that we eat, I encourage you to listen to this important conversation. And by the way, chem trails are real, just do your research, go outside, look up, study all the planes you see, give it some time and see if anything makes sense

SALAH NOW OWNS A PART OF BEASTED

 This is the awesome Salah Khudari who is holding My original caricature of Steve Carell that he won in an auction in the awards banquet at the San Antonio ISCA convention. He now owns a great piece of BEASTED. Congrats and many thanks for your support to BEASTED as well as ISCA and all they do. 

Amy Aboud owns a part of BEASTED!

Amy Aboud just recently purchased my original Bob Marley pecil/marker/pen caricature sketch from my new book BEASTED. Plus she got the progress spread print that goes with it, how awesome!!! It's so cool to see someone holding and owning my book let alone a piece from it. It means a lot, that piece is one of my personal favorites

Amy Aboud also own's my intro JFK quote page from BEASTED. It was in the ISCA( international society of caricature artist) awards banquet auction during an awards ceremony and she won the bid! So cool! Thanks AGain Amy!

BOLT

I recently got back into drawing on Caricaturama 3000 and got second place with this sketch of Usain Bolt. I didn't really know him and what he sounds like and what he looks like maybe because most of the time he is just a blur.... I watched many videos of him and while I watched, I absorbed. Then I sketched. I came up with some different ideas but I really just wanted a head shot, maybe with his shoulders included because they really tell more about him and make his neck and head more interesting. I then wanted to catch that thick Jamaican voice he has. A lot of times when I try and get a voice I think of how I sound, then try and match it with the sound that the subject makes. Once I figure that out, I understand my mechanics of how I make myself form into something similar as my subject to then put that into my sketch. On this one I put my chin down and lowered my Jaw to find the thick deep voice sound. All and all there are many decisions I could have done different but overall for the time I had, I'm happy with the likeness at this perspective.
