WHO?
G’day. I’m Joe. Thanks for stopping by my portfolio.
I’m an Aussie writer and artist who has been living in the UK since 2016.
My work has appeared on several websites, and I am currently working on my first book, a history of video game company SEGA.
Outside of this, I have worked on several on-line projects, such as originating ChronicleChamber.com, the longest running and most prominent fan site dedicated to the classic comics hero The Phantom. I also created and maintain the Phantom 2040 Archive and am a regular contributor on the PhantomWiki.
I’m a huge geek and collector with a strong love for comics, SEGA and their mascot Sonic the Hedgehog, as well as the fantasy writings of Tolkien, Neil Gaiman, Branden Sanderson and sci-fi such as Ghostbusters, Doctor Who, The Matrix and Back To the Future.

New Artwork – Deus Ex
I have completed and added to the gallery a new artwork based upon the seminal vidoe game Deus Ex. Deus Ex was the first game I truly became obsessed with and remains my favorite to this day. Many have tried, but none have succeeded in besting it, including it’s own sequles. The arwork is a…

Hitting the Half Way Point!
Last night I cracked the halfway point of my History of SEGA book (30,000 words). I’ve still so much to cover; 60,000 might not be enough! It’s been such a wonderful experience thus far. I’ve learnt so much I never knew about the company. Can’t wait to dive into the Saturn era, the time of…
