"We held an After Hours event at our hotel for the Chamber of Commerce. Joel did Caricatures for us and added so much to the meeting. People gathered around as he drew different caricatures. He is hilarious! Chamber members have told me many times how much fun they had at our event. Usually people leave early...but not that night, as much of the fun and laughter were due to Joel. He drew my caricature, as well. It's something to be saved. I put it in my office and when I see it, it is a constant reminder of the event, not to be forgotten!"

-- Christina Peterson, Director of Sales, Country Inn & Suites, Charlotte
