Summer is finally here, and we couldn’t be more excited about what lies ahead. Our calendar has been filling up quickly with corporate events, company picnics, trade shows, graduation parties, festivals, and all kinds of celebrations. There’s nothing quite like watching a crowd gather around the drawing board, sharing laughs, and leaving with a personalized keepsake that reminds them of a great day. It’s shaping up to be one of our busiest summers in recent years, and we’re grateful for every opportunity to do what we love. We’ve also wrapped up our Comic Con season for 2026, and what a fun ride it has been. Comic Cons always give us the chance to meet new friends, reconnect with familiar faces, and create some of the most imaginative and entertaining caricatures of the year. From superheroes and movie characters to original creations dreamed up on the spot, these events allow us to stretch our creative muscles in ways that are both challenging and rewarding. While we’re sad to see this year’s convention season come to an end, we’re already looking forward to 2027 and the opportunity to attend more shows, meet more amazing people, and create even more unforgettable drawings. As always, thank you to everyone who invites us to be part of your events, stops by our booth, or simply takes a moment to say hello. Your support keeps us busy, keeps us drawing, and most importantly, keeps us smiling. We can’t wait to see what the rest of the summer has in store! Meet Dion and Deron! Here are two of our repeat friends from the Indiana Comic Con. Dion and Deron find us every year and give us some of the coolest ideas. This year they topped previous years by becoming Skelator and He-Man. These two brothers -twins in fact- have been faithful to have portraits drawn for the past few years. Thanks you guys!
If you’re planning to attend Indiana Comic Con, be sure to stop by Booth #755 and say hello. We’d love to meet you, draw you, and help turn you into a one-of-a-kind cartoon character! Now for the good stuff… We’ve got a fantastic Spring and Summer lined up! Indiana Comic Con, weddings, corporate events, birthday parties—you name it, we’re drawing it. And on top of all that, we get to celebrate our Nation’s 250th Birthday. Not a bad time to be an American.
We’re also proud to continue some great
long-standing partnerships. This will be our 3rd year with
Steel Dynamics in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, our 15th year with
Beck’s Seeds in Atlanta, Indiana, our 14th year
with Rivers Casino in Des Plaines, Illinois,
AND we will be helping Eli Lilly celebrate
their 150th Anniversary. All that experience comes with us to every single event. Whether it’s a large corporate gathering or a private party, we bring professionalism, efficiency, and a good dose of fun to make your event truly memorable for your guests, clients, and staff. Add in a steady stream of commission work, and 2026 is shaping up to be a very strong year—and we’re just getting started. If you’re hosting a company party, client appreciation event, trade show, holiday gathering, or employee celebration, bring us in to capture the fun. We can customize each drawing with your company logo, event theme, and the date to help commemorate the occasion. It becomes a one-of-a-kind keepsake your guests, clients, and staff will actually hang onto long after the event is over. Let the fun begin!
Our Celebrity Page is officially up and running! It’s an ongoing, ever-growing collection, so swing by often and see who’s new. Nick and Chad are adding fresh faces all the time — some you’ll recognize instantly… others might make you squint and go, “Wait… is that…?” Either way — enjoy the ride.
Last December we were hired by Newpoint Cleaning Services for their company Christmas party — and they came ready to have some fun. Along with traditional caricatures, they asked us to turn their staff into full-blown superheroes. Because nothing says “office morale” like seeing Accounting as Black Widow. Check out the drawings below — capes, muscles, and all.
The months ahead are
stacked. A couple of
Comic Cons
are on the horizon, along with
Fishers’ Indiana Independence Day celebration, Spark,
where we’ll be part of the nation’s 250th birthday festivities. This
is shaping up to be a fantastic year, and we’re just getting warmed
up. Check back soon—there’s plenty more to come. Look for future
