Finding the Limit

Joe grew up in San Francisco, surrounded by the vivid street art of the Bay Area, so maybe it’s no surprise he got his degree in illustration. But he didn’t want to create book covers or editorial pieces - he wanted to share the visions in his head with others, in the most detail possible. Joe’s first industry job was in Blizzard Cinematics, where he got to do just that, but in the service of powerful IPs like Starcraft, Warcraft and Diablo. Joe then went to work at Red5 Studios, where he relished the challenge of working at a start-up. As a freelance concept artist, Joe’s done work for id Software, Insomniac, and Lightstorm Entertainment, but now he has happily joined Bonfire, where he can forge new visions for players.
