Festivus for the Rest of Us?

It's October. And that means Fall. And Fall means fairs, festivals, Halloween and holiday parties.

What does all that have to do with caricatures? Everything, of course!

Welcome to the October edition of Not Your Usual Caricature Artist from Caricatures by Joel.

According to Wikipedia, "A festival is a special occasion of feasting or celebration, usually with a religious focus. Aside from religion, and sometimes folklore, another significant origin is agricultural. Food (and consequently agriculture) is so vital that many festivals are associated with harvest time."

With all the festivals going on -- both public and corporate --  there’s always an opportunity to further enliven the proceedings with caricatures. That even goes for weddings, often staged this time of year to take advantage of the beautiful weather and colors, which traditionally make for charming backdrops.

Looking beyond Fall, too, are the big party holidays of Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year’s.

So, there’s no time like the present to begin making those holiday entertainment arrangements.

Here’s how past events have looked...through the lens of yours truly’s portfolio.

Check back again with us the first Tuesday of next month for 

another festive offering from Not your Usual Caricature Artist.
