14 years ago, in 2007, released the book, "SINGLES GOING STEADY",
which was a collection of his own drawing interpretations of records, illustrated on their sleeves.
We thought he was way ahead of time then, and now......time has finally caught up with him!?!
A new book by KING JOE, a collection of his hand-drawn flyer art: "WHAT GOES ON"
A complete collection of his flyers created over a quarter of a century!
Featuring rock/punk artworks, films, anime, manga, TV, small animals, and just about anything else that came into the radar of KING JOE... The overwhelming power of these drawings that stems from the punk DIY spirit that puts the middle finger up on words like "digital," "technology," "efficiency," and "cost effectiveness" explodes as "D-RAW POWER!"
"The Stooges, Lou Reed, The Rolling Stones, The Ramones, Jonathan Richman, The Gories, The Hair, The 5.6.7.8's, Guitar Wolf, The Roosters, Sheena & the Rokkets, RC, and all other obscure garage punkers...makes me want to pun and refer to with deep respect!
When I see a black door, I want to paint it red, and when I see broken glass, I want to roll around naked on them (on second thought....)
I just can't seem to get over all the Rock music which I encountered as a teenager.
There's no way I can forget it...I'm sure no one can!
