His personal Bio reads as follows:
Known for his popularistic paintings of cute cartoon ruckus
and innovative toy designs, Joe Ledbetter's career has rapidly
accelerated in only a few short years. A 29-year-old Los Angeles
native, Ledbetter studied Sociology at Humboldt State University,
before returning to his hometown where he worked as a graphic
apparel artist for 3 years. He also became involved in the
LA underground art scene showing in small group shows as well
as Cannibal Flower's monthly art extravaganzas. By the summer
of 2004, Ledbetter was able to quit his day job and focus
entirely on his art career. His unmistakable style can be
characterized by an amazing combination of vibrant colors,
shadows, character expressions, and thick black lines. Utilizing
imagination and the subversive with a light-hearted approach
Ledbetter's work often illustrates the harsh realities of
everyday life, but also reminds us not to take things so seriously
sometimes.
Joe Ledbetter has also done a lot of design work for Gama-Go!
