About Live Caricature Art
My Story & Why I Do Caricature
Main Rajesh Naik hoon, caricature artist by chance, not by planning. Pehle toh normal naukri karta tha (used to do a regular job) but Times of India ke cartoons ne mera dimaag hilaa diya (the cartoons in Times of India blew my mind). Guruji se seekha, shuruat dost-log ke gifts ke liye kiya - unko itna pasand aaya ki socha, chalo aage badhate hain (friends loved it so much I thought, let’s take it further). Mera simple funda hai: har event mein hasi chahiye, art ke through.
What Happens at My Booth
Live caricature ka maza hi alag hai (live caricature is a whole different vibe). Main ek kona pakad leta hoon event mein - easel, pens, paper ready. Log aate hain, 4-5 minute baithe, main unka quick live sketch banata hoon. Baaki guests bhi dekhte hain, masti hoti hai (others watch and have fun). Sabko ek personalized party favor milta hai, jo party ki yaad hamesha rakhega (everyone gets a keepsake they’ll remember the party by).
Where & What I Offer
Mumbai, Pune base hai par poora India ghoom chuka hoon (I’m based in Mumbai, Pune but I’ve travelled all over India) - college fests, shaadis, corporate gigs, flea markets, even big music festivals. Kaafi variety hai styles mein:
- Classic black & white marker sketch
- Rang birange watercolor caricatures (colorful watercolor)
- Digital caricature booth jahan tablet pe sketch hota hai aur print milta hai (digital sketch on tablet with instant print)
- Mug pe caricature for those who want something usable
Faces & Events
Kaafi log sketch kiye hain - Flipkart, Bajaj Allianz ke events, and even Namita Thapar, Atul Kulkarni, Swanand Kirkire jaise celebs (big names too). Honestly, har event ek naya experience hai. If you’re looking for something hatke (offbeat), I’m ready.

My Story
Hi, I’m the face behind Naik Graphics. Mera safar thoda hatke (my journey’s a bit different) - I quit my job, ran after my cartoon craze, and found my guru. Started gifting caricatures, got loads of pyaar (love) and confidence. Now, I travel all over India for events, drawing legends and regular folks alike. The best bit? Making people laugh, seeing their reactions - bas, that’s the real magic for me.
