Joe has been a Seattle resident since his birth in 1980. After dabbling in a myriad of hobbies, he finally found his niche in drawing and painting in 2003. Joe’s influences stem from his father and grandfather, always working, operating and drawing their own designs of Chris Craft Boats, Foss Tugboats and Airplanes.
Operating one half of the Seattle based mural company Franklin and Thomas, Joe has been consistently painting large scale commercial and fine art murals since 2006. Additionally, his canvas work has been shown across the city in a number of venues including Flatcolor Gallery, The Whisky Bar, Capitol Hill Art Center, JUJU Belltown , Home Suite Home gallery and Urban light studios (Greenwood Collective). Joe works mostly in acrylic and spray paint. His work genuinely reflects the early love , and later neglect of machines that were once so important to the growth of America, and the people or places surrounding them.
