So lets give the journal a try.

Journal Entry: Mon May 5, 2008, 11:18 AM
Remember, this is my JOURNAL. It's not a diary, no matter what you might hear.
Well it sure has been a while. Why do I leave these things for so long before getting back to them? I'm just bad I guess. I can't say I'm fond of some of the recent changes in DeviantArt, but it's the community that matters, not the... um... communal... building. Whatever.
I've also noticed something kind of embarrassing... it looks like, on DeviantArt, when someone marks one of your pieces as a "favorite" it's pretty customary to thank them for it. This is not something I've bothered to do. So I'll say it right now and hope that I can get away with that, thanks to everyone who's... um... favorite-ed my work. I favorite you right back.
Hope you all enjoy the progress I'm making with my Doctor Who project (if it can be called that). Yeah, I have too many obligations to actually consider doing anything concrete with this, but setting it all up is fun like nuts. Maybe I'll figure something out. Further additions to the cast of characters are forthcoming, and hopefully before too long I'll be able to show off my version of the TARDIS bridge. Literally years in the making!
Maybe when I finish I can just travel back in time with the damn thing and eliminate all the effort I put into it. Reapers be damned!

...Say, why would anyone want to know what I was eating or drinking or listening to at the time of this entry? It's nice to have options, but that's just weird, man.

    Utterly love what you're doing with Zebra Girl. ^^ Jack the Plaid is by far the best example of a transitional character I've seen in years!

    Love your Doctor Who stuff! Moar! Also moar Zebra girl. Someone should totally pay you to just draw all the time. Submit to a comic book company; I don't care which one.

    Joe,

    Sadly, I am a senior in college based out of New York and so I can't study Sequential Art at SCAD, though I desperately wish I could reverse time in order to do so (at that rate, I could take animation at CalArts and learn CSS and Final Cut Pro...and, you know, rob banks...). However, were you ever to start teaching, I would fake a campus ID to get into your class. Much love, an avid reader.

    wow didnt expect to see you on here, not that you'd know me but i read your Zebra girl comics and i saw a comment on a Doctor Who comic and recognised that demented rabbit... hello. you're a great artist :), tarar
    ~dacheran:icondacheran: May 31, 2007, 10:37:24 PM
    Watch out Joe! You have become akin to a King among Men!

    And probably Women too. A King that is, not a Queen, that'd be weird. (unless there's something you're not telling us... >.>;)

    You'd be able to hear the capital letters if I was speaking. At least with the word King... maybe not Men, perhaps not Women either... both sides please submit your applicants to take part in the debate.

    And... something else. Something cool though. I'm thinkin are you ignoring us again though? Because JoeArt is awesome, and we need more awesome in the world.

    Dear Joe-

    I just wanted to tell you as a longstanding fan of Zebragirl for over 3 years, I've never been so delighted with the new changes to her as ever beforehand. The new characters although out of the blue are easily connected to the plot, but asides that, I just find them outrageous. Outrageously mindblowing brai F***ING awesome. I love watching you develop over the years in both storytelling and artistic mode, and there's always a constant improvement. Whatever direction you take these two characters Pooka Zin and Mary Shriek, even if they don't have much alignment to the story now, or just serve as a Mulligan trick, please, please please please, don't throw em' away to the random character graveyard, but do create at least a desktop or a past story about them or something when the time for it arises to you. I really just died when I saw the new pages. Again. The first time was when I saw Sandra transformed. ^^;

    Keep rocking the stockings!

    And uhm...pleasevisitmygallerysometimeifyoucanthan ks. :heart:

    No, thank you, RollingDamage. You're the reason I do it, y'know! You and fans like you, who get whatever it is I'm trying to say! Well, you and the integral need to create inherent in the being of all artists. That's a reason too. But thanks, and I hope I continue to please.

    I am just one more of your adoring fans who wanted to drop you a note to remind you how much you rock. I stumbled on Zebra Girl by sheer luck a few years ago and have been stalking it for updates ever since. You have more talent on the tip of your inking pen than most people have in their entire being. ::applause::
    Also, the new online portfolio looks great. :D

    I just wanted to say that I have been reading your comic Zebra Girl since the beginning, and I’ve only grown fonder of it as time has gone by. The more I read, the more I love it. I fell in love with the characters and just never let go. They have all had such an incredible journey and I’ve laughed with them, and I have also cried with them. In fact, I went through all of your archives tonight and re-read everything; I am still affected today just as strongly as I was the first time I read it. I got very emotional at times; I was so immersed in the story. I also laughed when appropriate, and humor is hard, so mad props, sir.

    I would also like to tell you that while just loved your art seven years ago, going over the archives tonight just really blew my mind; you have made INCREDIBLE progress! I never thought that a talented artist could just get more talented, but you are living proof that practice makes perfect. You’re an inspiration to new artists like me who are just picking up a pencil and pen and really trying to learn all we can about art. I’m really striving to learn everything I can and develop any and all skills I’ll need to become a good artist, and just looking at your progress these past seven years really encourages me to keep going and keep pushing to achieve new heights. Your art is just so fresh and amazing and gorgeous and it really blows me away. I’m such a big fan of the comic and it’s just amazingly beautiful and I hope you NEVER stop.

    Thank you so much.

    religious reader of Zebra Girl - probably the inspiration for my A2 art project... well we'll see how that goes.

    Keep it up.

    Ah, there we go. You would *think*, would you not, that having your name as your dA account would make you easy to find... yet for some reason, after once viewing this a year or two ago, I've been unable (read too lazy) to relocate it. Until now...
