I make art from the things I love... geometry, squid, octopus, and calligraphy.
I bought a roll fed printer after working in a sign and banner shop for a few years, and loved working in large format. I started making custom canvases for a few friends that wanted prints of their photography, and inevitably started making prints of my own art after dating another artist who threatened to never come to my house until I had art on my walls. So, I quit procrastinating on a few projects I had been contemplating for a while, and pulled the trigger on making prints of my own stuff. Then I continued making prints for friends of my own art as gifts, until a buddy of mine mentioned putting them up on Etsy... so, here they are!
For over 20 years I have worked as a published designer, illustrator, photographer and a photo manipulator. He has lead a complete rebranding for a subsidiary of Humana now known as Lifesynch, and designed everything from the logo, to their brand standards, and all of the marketing material. Joel's work has been featured in the 2010 Exhibition Calendar alongside such industry greats as Pete Harrison, Radim Malinic, Jonathan Wong, Chuck Anderson, and Nik Ainley.
Joel has worked with a diverse group of clients including Neiman Marcus, Bell Helicopter, JCPenny, Boy Scouts of America, Dallas Morning News, Fort Worth Opera, TCU, Steelcase, TXU, Sony Ericsson, Whole Foods Market, Humana, LifeSynch, Everything But Water, and the Dallas chapter of International Association of Business Communicators (IABC).
