Joe’s artwork creates an experience where bright colors and simplified imagery engage the viewer’s ideas and fantasies. These informal and empowering creations are designed to bring a spark of joy to the viewer’s life. He creates things for the fun of it.
Some of the fun things he creates are black and white fantasy illustrations that evoke the style of the old school renaissance, being heavily influenced by the art of the Dungeons and Dragons red box basic set as well as the art in the first Monster Manual. Since January of 2022 he has been doing black and white spot illustration work for Goodman Games. His work has appeared in many current releases including; The May 2022 Gazette, DCC Holiday #11 Came the Monster of Midwinter, Empire of the East #1 The Hunt for the Howling God, DCC Classics Horror #8 Night of the Bog Beast, and MCC #14 Mayhem on the Magtrain. He has also done illustration work for Forbidden Games Inc. and Paradigm Concepts, Inc. and has had his artwork featured in several Adventure League modules including the 2018 Ennie Award winning module “End of the Line.”
Joe has also had the amazing opportunity to paint some of the large murals around Oak Park, Illinois. He has painted four mini murals as part of the mini mural program, including the Val’s Halla (Val Camiletti memorial) mural near the corner of South Boulevard and Oak Park Ave. He’s painted two larger murals as well, the children’s playzone mural inside the community recreation center and most recently the front of Wonder Works titled “Dream Bigger, Work Wonders.”
Joe believes that if we give people a reason to smile, we might just get to smile too and if more of us are able to smile early and smile often, we can create a world in which we lift each other up and do amazing things.
