Unlike the other sections of this website, this area isn’t important, or even very interesting. You are not going to have super secret techniques revealed to you (there aren’t any), and i don’t have a clever artist statement for you to read. What is important is the gallery and the work itself, and the focus should be on how many paintings to purchase. However, if you insist on knowing more about little ol’ me, then trudge on.
*Born August 19, 1974, to my parents Joe and Kathy, two wonderful and supportive human beings, who, I might add, are still together. This seems to be a rarity nowadays.
*Lived in Victoria, Texas until the age of 19, where I learned how to paint still lifes of fruit and small ceramic bowls at Victoria Community College. Was repeatedly asked why I couldn’t paint something normal, like a southwestern porch scene. Received no degree.
*After receiving a substantial amount of money, due to a automobile collision involving a churchgoer with terrible parking lot etiquette, I moved from the void to Austin, Texas, where I’ve remained ever since.
CURRENT GOAL AND REAL-TIME MISSION STRATEGY:
The extinction of my dependence on a real job, and the ability to support myself, and my habits, by painting monsters and naked women all day long.
YOUR PLACE IN THE SCHEME:
Contribute to the "Joey wants to work in his underwear" campaign by purchasing available artwork, or by commissioning your very own painting to adorn the walls of your domicile. If you work for a business, or are lucky enough to own your own business, I can be persuaded to provide illustration or graphic design.
