I finally got to meet with Joe Average on August 3, 2012, and I was so moved!  He is one of my biggest inspirations…  Meeting your hero is a spiritual experience.  To discuss art together… not enough words can explain the delight and elation I felt!

    Joe Average’s Art is anything but “average”. His use of primary colors and thick black lines always make me smile. His art is inspiring on so many levels. Enjoy it often.

    Be a Blessing,
