Nicholas (Nick) E. Galifianakis is an American cartoonist and artist. Since 1998, Galifianakis has been drawing the cartoons for the nationally syndicated advice column "Tell Me About It". The column is authored by Galifianakis' ex-wife, Washington Post writer Carolyn Hax, and has syndicated in more than 300 newspapers in the US since The Washington Post Writers Group first began it's syndication in 1998. The duo's first book, "Tell Me About It: Lying, Sulking, Getting Fat ... and 56 Other Things NOT to Do While Looking for Love," was published in 2001 by Hyperion. Galifianakis has also illustrated a number of books authored by writer and novelist Andrew Postman.

Galifianakis has been nominated by the National Cartoonists Society for the 2006 Reuben Award for Oustanding Cartoonist of the Year in the Newspaper Illustration category.

[edit] Background information

Born in Durham, North Carolina, Galifianakis grew up in Falls Church, Virginia, where he currently lives. Although he has no formal art education, his father Peter Galifianakis, an accomplished sculpter and painter, may have inspired his artistic development. His career as a cartoonist followed earlier work as an editorial cartoonist and illustrator for USA Today, and a free-lance editorial cartoonist and illustrator published in a variety of nationally distributed periodicals.
