Joey graduated from the Art Institute of Colorado in the Spring of 2006 and received the Portfolio Par Excellence Award for crafting the best portfolio in his class. He accepted a position with a small visual effects company in Los Angeles called Two Headed Monster, where he contributed animation for music videos and commercials, including work for Columbia Records recording artists The Decemberists. Recently he has relocated back to Denver and has been working for Masque Publishing, creating animation and illustrations for PC games as well as projects for AOL and Apple. One of Joey’s main interests is in working with children and the underserved, in hopes of introducing others to the fulfilling and enriching aspects of art. He believes that there is great benefit in encouraging and dignifying the work of those who may not have many outlets for their creativity. He has enjoyed finding many opportunities to do so, including 1-on-1 mentorships with school children through Community Resources, Inc., participating in children’s animation workshops with the Denver Film Festival, and working as a Peer Mentor while studying at the Art Institute of Colorado. Currently, Joey serves on the Board of Directors of ASIFA-Colorado.
