"As Outsider Art, Joey's artwork contemplates his own role within the visual arts as will as American culture as a whole. On the surface, his paintings appear simplistic, playful and childlike; however, the commentary his works make collectively is anything but child-like.
Finding artists whose work actively comments on contemporary socio-economic stratification in a manner that stimulates conversation are difficult to find. Joey embraces difficult subjects without leaving his audience depressed. Such works like Ivory Towers, provides perspective of how the academic art world is difficult to break into, but also may not be the place where all artists find success.
Joey approaches his artwork with a purpose. If you have taken a quick glance and moved on, I strongly encourage you to give his work a second look. What you thought was overly simplistic, will evolve into a much more complex message. His work leaves me looking at the world around me with a fresh perspective. What more could you ask of fine contemporary art?"

"His wisdom lies in his strong design sense. His thinking makes his work look so fresh and pure , like the spring breeze of the afternoon. The bright colors are just like the jumping notes. His elaborate design and arrangement form a charming music: pure, stable, convincing. Enthusiasm and hope [are] born in his colors, and they flow from one graphic to the other."
