If history has taught Hoosiers anything...

...it’s that winter in Indiana never truly leaves until after March Madness wraps up. Just when we start packing away the snow shovels, March swoops in with one last dramatic encore. That’s alright. Spring is warming up in the bullpen, and we are more than ready to trade snowflakes for sunshine.

On another note, there’s a lot of chatter these days about AI and its impact on creative industries—music, film, illustration, you name it. We’ll be sharing more thoughts soon about what that means for our world. For now, just know this: everything you see on our website is created the old-fashioned way—by real, live human hands.

If you’re hosting a company party during the playoffs or your place is packed with fans cheering on their team, bring us in to capture the action. We can customize each drawing with your logo, favorite school, and the date to mark the moment. It’s a one-of-a-kind keepsake your guests will actually hang onto.

Let the games 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 LIVE -Open Venue- Appearances HERE

Digital Catalog: We are currently working on our online catalog, where folks can find pre-drawn scenes, ready to add their or someone else's likeness making the process of getting a themed caricature faster. COMING SOON

Legacy Page: We often draw at events that we do annually. There are some who tell us that they have several drawings that we have done for them. "You have drawn our family over the years and we have them hanging all through our hallway!" We are asking our annual friends to share a photo of their collection so that we can post it on our new "Legacy Page".

If you have several drawings that we have done over the years and you would like for us to share them on our website please take a good picture of your drawings along with your family and send them HERE. Once we have your photos we will share them on our "Legacy Page". COMING SOON

New Celebrity Page: Nick and Chad have both been drawing different celebrities. Both are movie nuts so they love drawing their favorite celebs. It is finally HERE!!! Keep in mind it is a work in progress, CUZ there a BUNCH of celebrities.
