I designed this 1979 Econoline 150 work van and did much of the painting and construction
myself.  It won 149 first place trophies from 1986 until I turned it over to my
son Patrick in 1997. Who proceeded to destroy it until he sold it to a friend named Chris
who has it still.  The interior held all the comforts of home - TV, stereo, bed, bath, refridge, etc.


Bored at Holiday Inn, poolside in Homestead, FL April, 1988. And there was this napkin.....

 

 
Again, fashion is a common  thread throughout my collections.


Desert Joe and Mike Blom at Montauk Point. The Point was a home-away-from-home for Joe most of his 50 years on Long Island.


A self portrait. Few people know that I have time to paint, but few people think I have time on my hands at all. "Give your work to a busy man."

Looking west.


I found Love in the nick of Time. Atypical of Yman work. Here a middle aged woman
presents herself with an offer of affection. Disappointment as a surprise is too often a symbol in my work; and a delight.

Again, fashion is a common thread throughout my collections. One might think this belongs in the 'Girls and Women' collection. Not.


Looking up at light from the south beach on the point itself.



Wild Bill's Bait & Tackle. Wild Bill ( William Wandermeyer) is an old clam poacher
along Long Island's south shore - retired. Several sketches resound Bill's life style,
places and events - and fantasies. He is also protrayed as a character in Joe's romance nocel LOVE CHASE. Here is a shop the old sailor never owned.


Mike Blom at Point.


A mural preformed for Lady Lori's Dark Castle in East Farmingdale.

 

 

Dream. Placed here (and not in fantasy) because I experienced nightmares as a child where visual perspection became askewed. It is not uncommon problem among drafters and designers.


At opening of a new Disney Park - 2002


Shadow's Cast. Here demonstrates my uneven view of my fellow man's treatment of women. The male holds the female by a leash while he remains one dimensional, pretends animation and the shadow he casts is actually hers.


First grandchild - Koralynn Paige with Mom and Dad - Dawn and Joe III

 

Dress. Another fashion statement. There seems to be more to it than that.


The unflapable PJ, my 2nd grandchild.

 



Wreck. Unless I am 50 years older than I admit to, I've never seen this sight.


3rd grandchild, 2nd Granddaughter - Savanah

Due to circumstances, Cathy & I rose PJ from 15 months until he was ready for school.


During a visit to Universial Studios, Patrick, Cathy, Desert Joe and Mindy went to stand on the line for King Kong. PJ and I waited outside but we both fell asleep. A passer-by took my camera from me and snapped this shot, which I did not see until days later.

Papa Joe and PJ at Universal. Since we live 15 minutes from all the major parks, PJ was raised right alongside Mickey Mouse. Got so that once during a Mardi Gras parade at Universal Studios some one asked directions of me and 3 year old PJ chimed in and offered up the right directions.


Room in Artie's uncle's huse I sleep in Richmond, VT


Artie and Pam dockside - always looking for Champie on Lake Champlain, Grand Isle, VT.
