A Few Recent Works

As the header states, this website showcases the creative works of artist Joey Welsh. He is an artist, children’s author and part-time photographer. If he isn’t busy creating, he can be found in the kitchen cooking for his wife. For the past twenty+ years, Joey has been building a world of art that has brought more smiles to people than a fresh jar of gekkleberry jam and a slice of crispy toast. We invite you to look around at his work and learn more about the imagination behind Joeytown.

Gary Larson,
Creator of The Far Side

“My work is basically sitting down at the drawing table and getting silly.”

Richard Scarry,
Children’s Author & Illustrator

“Everything has an educational value if you look for it. But it's the fun I want to get across.”

From the artist…

Ever since I was a kid, I always found my greatest joy in making people laugh. I loved sharing funny stories, cartoons or movie bits, but more often than not, I would end up laughing harder at my tales than the intended recipient. When I began drawing, I kept chasing that desire to make people smile. I think that is what makes my work unique.
