Joe agrees that it is very fun to write about oneself in the third person, maybe he should do this more often! As for things Joe wants to write about, he would like to write fictional short stories and semi-autobiographical stories based around some of the people he has known and things he has done. I will be sure to write many things about the mental travels I take every time I daydream.

Joe wants to travel to many places – for the past year or so he has been thinking a lot about travelling through Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Scandinavia, America and particularly would love to visit Iceland or Norway to witness the Aurora Borealis. There are many places in the British Isles he still hasn’t seen, especially Glastonbury, Stonehenge, rural Ireland and Scotland.

Currently Joe is at ease with being single and free of a relationship as this means he is free to do anything he wants, but Joe would love to learn to love and be loved at some point in the future – he wants to try and conquer himself first.

As for the kind of paintings and illustrations Joe creates – he describes himself as a ‘Joe of all trades’ and enjoys working in many mediums, namely inks, markers, watercolours, gouache, acrylics and digital media. His work is some crazy mashup of all the things that have inspired or influenced him – fantasy, creepy gothic art, surrealism, manga and pop art. He has a sample of some of his work on his Flick – https://www.flickr.com/photos/136271080@N04/
