I first met Joe Vaux at the offices of The Family Guy/American Dad. MMJ had been invited to observe one of the table readings and obviously that was just too neato of an experience to pass up.
After the read-through they gave us a tour of the whole operation and on the way we were introduced to Mr. Vaux, and I noticed that he was also a most excellent artist in his own right.
Flash forward to me starting this whole LP Questionnaire business.... I asked Joe to participate a while ago which he so kindly did.
Flash forward some more, and I come to find that he's part of a group show starting this Friday at my favorite gallery in the world, Gallery 1988.
G1988 recently opened their San Francisco arm (the original is in Los Angeles at Melrose and La Brea), and they routinely show groundbreaking supercool artists.
If you're in SF, please don't miss "Strangely Mannered."
Either way, please enjoy JV on The LP Questionnaire...

G'night,
