Welcome to small corner of the internet. I’m Joe, an Aussie artist and writer who has been scribbling in the boarders notebooks for as long as I can remember. Raised on a good dose of comics, games, fantasy and sci-fi, I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Fine Art in 2008 with my first piece of professional writing appearing on-line in 2018. I am currently working on my first book, The History of SEGA.
Thanks very much for stopping by; please feel free to poke around. I hope you enjoy what you see. 😁
10/06/25 - Introdcuting SEGA Extra
I've started a new Substack called SEGA Extra. The idea is to cover aspects of SEGA's history that did not make it into the book for reasons of space and time. I hope you'll give it a look.

19/02/25 - Geeky Update
If you take a look at the top right of the screen you might notice a new menu item; Geek. As the name suggests, this is about the various geeky projects and hobbies I have. I've made a whole new Collections page as well which links from there, as well linking out to the Phantom 2040 Archive. Over time I'll add more to this as I've a few other things in the pipeline, but I'll update about these as an when.
