Welcome to fat arts
Celebrating Character, Creativity & Storytelling Through Art
Welcome to Fat Arts, the home of beautifully bold caricatures, lifelines and custom commissioned artworks created by Australian artist Nic Fabiszak.
Whether you’re after a unique gift, a personalised artwork, a corporate piece, or something wonderfully weird, Fat Arts turns imagination into unforgettable art.
“I am a self-taught artist living and working in Bridgetown in Western Australia’s beautiful southwest. In 2001 I opened up my own gallery, ‘Fat Arts’, in the main street of town where I developed a reputation for caricatures and frequently exhibited my latest artwork. In my more recent artworks I have taken a different approach using mixed media, developing a new sophisticated, yet whimsical style that one day I hope people can identify as my own distinctive ‘look’.
My latest concept is what I have termed “Lifelines”. This art is a pictorial timeline, showing a passage of time in a persons or people’s lives with a visual illustration of defining moments during that time. The response to these has been very enthusiastic and I look forward to capturing people’s lives for them to enjoy and reminisce with.”
“My family and I want everyone to enjoy art and the joy and laughter it can produce so we keep our artwork affordable and enjoyable for any viewer. We want you to simply see the image and not have to work out any meaning. We hope our art will colour your day and make you smile.”
Caricatures That Capture Personality
Caricatures
Every caricature is hand-drawn with care, humour, and attention to the small details that make people unique. From milestone celebrations to workplace gifts, your artwork will feel personal, lively, and one-of-a-kind.
“After discovering and falling in love with caricatures over 40 years ago, they became my “bread and butter” since commencing as Fat Arts back in 2001. I have painted and caricaturized thousands of faces, and they hang on many a wall locally, overseas and anywhere in between. I have been privy to people’s lives and their stories and have worked hard to capture their personalities in my art. Just as important to me as the subjects, is the finished artwork, the caricatures I paint are rich in colour and well balanced, a piece of art that will continue to give and keep you infinitely amused.”

Lifelines That Tell Your Story
Lifelines
Each persons life is a collection of moments and memories and the ‘lifeline’ features this in a long pictorial presentation featuring those important things, objects, pets, events that have happened in your life. They are presented in Nic’s humorous way and unlike the caricature they focus on the life lived not just the person. It is a uniquely personal snapshot of a life lived.
“A Lifeline is what I would call a chronological caricature of the defining moments of a person’s life or people’s lives. We all struggle trying to recall the blurry details of our past, but with a Lifeline it is all there to visually refer to. The example shown here is mine and my partner’s. From where we met, to the places we’ve lived, the birth of our son Ewan, the cars we’ve owned, the pets we’ve shared and the adventures we’ve had- it tells the story of our first 20 years together.
You may choose to commission a Lifeline to commemorate an anniversary of 2 people’s lives together or a significant birthday, whatever the occasion I hope to turn the information you give me into a visual timeline for you, your family and friends to enjoy and reminisce by. “
