The City of Palm Springs has honored him with many awards including Best in Show and first, second, and third place in the digital categories. A regular contributor to the Artwall, Joe served on it's board (2003-2007) receiving the Gloria Greene humanitarian award in 2006 from the A.I.D.S. Assistance Program.
