The NCN is an international non-profit organization dedicated to the art of caricature. It is made up of professional caricaturists from all over the world, students of caricature and people who have an interest in the art form. Its purposes are:

  • The promotion of the art of caricature
  • The education of the public and its members about the art form and profession
  • The assisting of its members to network with one another
  • To secure benefits that are available via a group and not to individuals acting alone

The NCN currently has over 550 members worldwide. The quarterly magazine, Exaggerated Features, is sent to the members and an annual convention is held for socialization as well as education and competition. The organization has some of the best caricature talent in the world in its membership! Jack Davis, Sergio Aragones and Mort Drucker of Mad Magazine, German Illustrator Sebastian Kruger and magazine illustrators John Kascht and C.F. Payne have all been special guests at recent NCN conventions.
