Mel has been drawing caricatures professionally 20 plus years. A member of the National Caricaturist Network. Has served as vice-president of the NCN and art director for two years for the quarterly newsletter "Exaggerated Features" of the National Caricaturist Network. Mel ranked seventh nationally in 1996 and placed second for "Best Portfolio" in 1997 at the NCN National Competition and Convention.

Mel's caricature entertainment is a hit at any party. A big draw for sales booths at conventions, hospitality suites, grand openings. With a pre-printed logo on the paper, the drawing will not only serve as a good customer relations give-away but also serve your corporation or small business as an advertisement for years to come. Mel pride's himself in giving 110 percent at every event, and he has the return business to prove it. Mel's concept is to leave them laughing or at least with a smile. It is a Drawing Entertainment!
