He is most well known for receiving the Golden Nosey award for being the Best Caricature Artist in the world for the years 2005 and 2006. As an instructor one could not ask for a better person to demonstrate and teach young people the correct manner to draw the features of a face.

The usual amount one would have to pay for a seminar such as this one would be at least $100 per person. But because of the relationship, the director of The Art Kids of San Diego County has with Mr. Jones he paid a flat fee for Court's time and made the seminar free for all who attended. It is just an extra benefit of being an Art Kid.
