SHOW POSTER FOR W SUMMON
Thursday, February 12th, 2015VALESKA GAVOTTE
Tuesday, September 30th, 2014Sept. 29, 2014:
Valeska Gavotte‘s new EP Songs for Sinfonietta is out today!
Front cover of the EP
I had the great experience of working with him on the album art for this release, his second for Folkwit Records in the UK. You absolutely gotta check this guy out!
^^^^^
He’s a violinist/composer/multi-instrumentalist that sounds like a symphony crossed with folk and indie, and road trips, and time spent exploring cities…his music makes you picture movies in your head. It’s rich, son.

Release date to be announced. Needless to say, I can’t %$#ing wait. This kid’s music is amazing, and it’s been great collaborating with him.

PIPES 2.0
Friday, September 6th, 2013Meet Pipes 2.0. As urban and dirty as Pipes 1, but more into early-era Metallica rather than later, he/she/it is being used as part of the artwork for Folkwit Records artist Valeska Gavotte‘s forthcoming release, Songs For Sinfonietta.

VALESKA GAVOTTE IS ON THE RISE
Thursday, August 15th, 2013
!%#$#%!. Exciting news: The awesomely talented human Valeska Gavotte has just been featured on the front page of the Italian music site Onda Rock. Thrilled to see him gaining exposure, and not just because my art is featured on his albums. There’s nothing else like his music. Be sure to check it out here.
Keep an eye out for his next album and the accompanying single, both of which are arriving in the next few months (and will be featuring art from yours truly).
***ART SHOW ALERT***
Tomorrow, Friday August 16, 2013, I will have a booth at Art Night Out in Lafayette, CO, 5 – 9 PM. Come hang out and enjoy live music, a beer and wine garden, food trucks and tons of local art!

Things new and old:
Swamp of dead trees…brutal
Beginning of my newest painting. Spoiler alert…it has mountains and trees in it
This is a vague idea of what the new painting will look like, the bottom being the foreground and the top being the…anti-foreground
The foliage is made of card symbols. These colors make it look like sugary cereal
Sketch for a commission I’m working on. It’s a diptych inspired by that feeling I get when I drive through suburbia, surrounded by malls, chain restaurants and selfish, useless over-maintained lawns. Uneasy. Displaced. Worried about the future. Sad and lost. I want it to make the viewer feel like vomiting, yet still be like, ‘that’s a cool painting’. Tricky
Making paper mache dinosaurs with a person really teaches you about the core of their character
I made a stegosaurus with a sun on its side. f$#%ing hippies
The ol’ stood has been pretty full lately
The painting on the bottom right is called “I’d Rather…”
This symbol is how I sign my work. It goes back to some of my oldest doodles, when I used to draw nothing but stacks of cubes. I think I learned how to draw them from the show ‘Imagination Station’, that awesome show on PBS that taught kids how to draw all kinds of cool stuff, along with basic concepts like utilizing 3 dimensions. Thanks Mark
It’s been done. Joe.

Mural In Lafayette, CO
Wednesday, June 5th, 2013
It’s done!
Last month I finished work on my first mural in the great state of Colorado. Located on a garage door in Lafayette, “Loomer – The Mural” measures approximately 8′ tall by 10′ wide.
The mural was done in conjunction with the great people at Project YES, a nonprofit also based in Lafayette that provides leadership opportunities for young people through the arts and service-learning. Check them out – they are doing some really great things for the community. The more art in kids’ lives, the bettaaa.
The 1st day I had the help of some awesome volunteers
I met many cool people during the course of this project and was excited to see how much is going on in Lafayette’s art scene. Can’t wait to get back there – I hope to be rocking a booth at Art Night Out several times this summer. More info on that to follow.

NEW PAINTING
Tuesday, April 23rd, 2013There’s a mural in the works, here in Brian town. I am teaming up with a cool organization in Lafayette that helps kidz get mo’ art in their lives – killer idea – and I will be painting a mural with them soon (more info on that to follow). To figure out what I want to do there I started my largest painting yet last week (it’s on wood – also a 1st for me). He’s taken on a life of his own now. Have to have it finished in 3 days, so you won’t even have to wait long to see it done!

Here you can see the sketch I did for the painting:
