“We totally loved your talent and entertainment. Thank you so much, Joel. “
— Rosa Vargas, Private Party Host
The role of a caricature artist, of course, is to reproduce a likeness of the subject in a whimsical, somewhat exaggerated manner. The keyword for Joel here is likeness.
He prides himself on capturing the essence of the individual, with obvious characteristics as hair, eyes, nose, ears, skin patterns and more providing the distinguishing features.
But it always comes back to likeness. After all, if a custom caricature doesn’t look like the person, both artist and subject have been shortchanged.

“Joel was our wedding cartoonist and drew caricatures for the guests and was a huge hit! He was great to work with from start to finish. He has a great personality and he was on time, professional, and great with all of our guests. There was a line of guests from start to finish, we even ended up hiring him for more time because so many people wanted Joel to draw them. Joel is a very talented caricature artist, he was able to capture each individual’s personality and it was great to watch him work. Guests took their drawings at the end of the night and some said they were even going to get them framed and hang them. I would definitely recommend Caricatures by Joel for any event!!” — Lindsay Bonsignore, Bride

He was able to capture our vision and improve upon it in ways we never could imagine. Our top leaders are still talking about how impressed they are with the final product.” — Lee Freedman, Corporate Communications, Duke Energy
