joe bluhm self caricature

Joe hails from small-town Laceyville, PA. Pursuing his life-long hobby, he moved to Cleveland after high school to study art.

Unexpectedly, he ended up working for Kaman's Art Shoppes as a caricature artist following his third year of school at the Cleveland Institute of Art. After a great experience of work and people, he decided to keep it up, moving to Orlando, FL. There Joe could be found drawing 5 days of the week at Sea World while pursuing my own caricatures and illustration. From Sea World Joe moved to New York City where he now works as an idependent illustrator and caricaturist.
