Joe's a pretty good artist, and has done several projects with the Holonet News, online and in the Star Wars Insider Magazine. There is an interview with him about his work at www.starwarz.com/clonewarseu, and soon to be one at www.starwarz.com .

I met Joe this past weekend at the Pittsburgh Comicon. He's a great guy to know. Very personable and approachable. We discussed our common trade a little. I'm an artist for the University of Pittsburgh and of course do some freelancing.

Anyway, I purchased some prints and am in the process of buying two peices of original artwork.

We've got to support his work if we want to continue to see it in the Insider and/or the Internet. He has a great style and I like the way he blends traditional pen and ink with graphics applications.

A very sincere fan,
-Sal

I've spoken with Joe via email and on TOS(as Supreme Chancellor Sidious). He's a nice guy and his art is AMAZING. I can't get enough of it. grin

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for stopping by. I'm really excited about having my own message board finally. TF.N has supported me from the beginning and I wouldn't have gotten this far in my Star Wars career without their help. So it's only fitting that my first 'official' message board be here. Thanks moderators!

Besides, my pal Jan Duursema is probably finally happy I won't always have to post on her official board at comicscommunity.com any more wink
(I'll still be hanging out there for sure though).

Feel free to discuss and ask me questions on any of the Star Wars artwork I've done for the Star Wars RPG (WEG and WotC), Star Wars Gamer, HoloNet News.com, Topps Clone Wars Trading Card Series and Star Wars Insider magazine or any of the other Star Wars related illustrations I've done over the years.

I also recently illustrated a comic book for Marvel called 'Crimson Dynamo' (stop by my official site to check out some artwork or pick up an issue).

Currently I'm working on some new comic book projects along with some new sketch card projects for Xena: Warrior Princess and for the new Thunderbirds movie.

I'm also illustrating a cover for a new fantasy novel written by my pal Josh Radke (writer of the Wraith Squadron article from Star Wars Gamer #9).

And if you want to talk movies, music or just art in general (check out my Comics 101 section at my official site too) then feel free anytime since those are my three favorite subjects next to Star Wars happy

I'll be checking this forum daily, time, work and conventions permiting and I'll try to respond to everyone if possible.

Thanks everyone for making me feel so welcome here!
-Joe

Oh this is great! Joe, you have got a thread on here now, so cool.

I met Joe a few weeks ago at the Empire Fan Fest held in New Jersey and he is such a great guy. A pleasure to chat you sir!

Joe, I think you art is great, and you do SW art with an amazing flair - I just hope that you'll soon be able to do a SW comic - this is something I have hoped for since the moment I first saw your illustrations. And I think the Empire series would be a great starting point.

Out of all things SW, what would be your favourite thing to draw be? Which characters from the OT and PT do you like?

Take care, and keep us fans happy by producing your style of SW art wink

Tim

Hi Sal, Meri, JT, Sidious (what is thy bidding my Master) wink Thanks for stopping by!

I met Joe a few weeks ago at the Empire Fan Fest held in New Jersey and he is such a great guy. A pleasure to chat you sir!

Hi Tim!
It was great meeting you too. I'm glad we connected on the Dark Horse boards before the show too. EFF was a good time. I want to thank Meri again for inviting me out and having me and Jan there. We had such a great time talking with fans and meeting everyone.

Joe, I think you art is great, and you do SW art with an amazing flair - I just hope that you'll soon be able to do a SW comic - this is something I have hoped for since the moment I first saw your illustrations. And I think the Empire series would be a great starting point.

Thanks. I really appreciate that. It's been a goal of mine for a while to do some Star Wars comic book work for Dark Horse too. I'm hoping to crank out some more 'Empire' inspired sample pages and send those to Randy soon to hopefully get his attention.

Out of all things SW, what would be your favourite thing to draw be? Which characters from the OT and PT do you like?

With Star Wars, I'm not sure if I have a favorite era I'd like to work in. I've pretty much illustrated for them all except for the New Jedi Order and Tales of the Jedi area. So those might be fun for me to explore sometime. Especially the TotJ era since I really loved the Knights of the Old Republic video game (I'm really looking forward to KOTOR II: Sith Lords).
My favorite eras though are definitely the ones which the films focus on, the Republic and Rise of the Empire eras.

My favorite characters? Well, from the PT I'd say (in order)

Qui-Gon Jinn
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Jango Fett
Count Dooku
Mace Windu
and Yoda

From the OT

Darth Vader
Han Solo
Luke Skywalker
Lando Calrissian
Boba Fett
Grand Admiral Thrawn

Take care, and keep us fans happy by producing your style of SW art.

Tim

I'll do my best, Tim! happy
-Joe

Hey Joe, I've just been looking over your artwork in Insider, and once again, I'm blown away by the excellence of it. Is there any news of HNN being in the future Insiders?

For the one HNN edition it was said there was originally supposed to be a map of "Operation Durge's Lance"'s movements, which was later replaced by the "file photo" of Durge.

Was the map art piece ever made (even if unused)? Any chance of seeing it on your site?

Hey Joe, I've just been looking over your artwork in Insider, and once again, I'm blown away by the excellence of it. Is there any news of HNN being in the future Insiders?

Thanks JT! I'm really proud of my Insider work. It was my opportunity to take my Star Wars art to another level with more time in the schedule (those HNN.com deadlines before Insider were tight) and attention to detail. I still like a lot of my SW Gamer work too, though there's some stuff I wish I could go back and tweak.

As for HNN returning in Insider, that's anyone's guess at this point. Unfortunately, and I hate to break the news to you for those of you who look forward to the feature, but HNN will be missing in Insider #77, the first issue published by IDG. I'm not sure if it's only temporary because of the transitional phase of the Fan Club and the publishers or if it's on indefinite hiatus.

It's really up to the powers that be (IDG, LFL, Pablo etc.) to decide whether it'll return (and if I'll be involved again). I really hope it does return with IDG though since I already miss illustrating Star Wars on a regular basis. But perhaps with the recent sw.com poll asking for the return of HNN online then maybe it will have a future somewhere again soon.
I'll keep you guys posted as soon as I hear anything though.
Take Care!
-Joe
