This entry in our 'Spotlight On...' blog post series is about a special person who is celebrating his birthday today... Yep, JoepeP is turning 'Double Nickels' today! But he isn't cruising along at 55, nosiree... he's speeding down the highway quite literally! JoepeP will be featured in the upcoming October 2009 issue of 'Hemmings Classic Cars' Magazine! The front cover to that issue is shown at the top right of this blog post, while Joepep himself is shown below in the Auto Art section, (plus his auto art is pictured in additional pages), as seen below left:
The newspaper clipping at the immediate above right is from an earlier mention of JoepeP's love of illustrating autos during the years. JoepeP was mentioned in that newspaper because of his works for Merritt Parkway, and the fact that the Merritt Parkway was celebrating its' own 70th Birthday last September! So how many years has JoepeP been illustrating? Well, let me have JoepeP tell you in his own words: "Over 30 years in the graphic design and illustration industry... Working with the pre-eminent typography experts at Spindler Productions, New York's leading audio/visual production company... Learning the art of typography from the most graphic talented designers of the day at Pastore, Depamphilis & Rampone Typographers... And, for the past 20 years... Humor in illustration, design, Archie Comics Official Fan Site on Facebook Adminstrator, Art Director and working with Archie and the gang at Archie Comic Publications... ... I have learned from the best." So, I've only known JoepeP for a short time, but we've already worked together on a recent project together with rousing success, and I've admired his works before that for Archie Comics! If You aren't already his Facebook Friend, send him an invite to 'Joe Pepitone'. And IF You are a Fan of Archie Comics, check out the Facebook Fan Page where JoepeP is the adminstrator of that site: http://www.facebook.com/ArchieComicsOfficial?ref=mf Plus... when You are in the need for an automotive portrait, business logo, or editorial illustration, You are welcome to visit Joe's personal website at http://www.PepitoneCreativeServices.com . So I've been 'threatening' JoepeP for a while now about doing a blog post on him, so I am glad it all came together today for a 'Birthday Spotlight On...' da Man! Happy Birthday JoepeP! Thanks again to all of YOU reading our current and archived blog posts! We do blog daily on comic book creators, comic book reviews, and other pop culture news and events including some TV shows and theatrical films! ~ Michael
