imageJoseph designed a label for Sombre, a mezcal liquor for Betts and Scholl, the sommelier Richard Betts and Miami Beach art collector Dennis Scholl.  Betts hunts down the quality vines and Scholl procures artists to design the labels. Scholl announced the release of its first distilled liquor, commenting that Sombre will be accompanied by one of the industry’s most unorthodox pieces of label art yet. The image, produced by Joseph as part of the Aspen-based art collective WKRPinc is an abstraction of a Mexican soft-core comic — a figure that Scholl merrily explains, “looks like turtles humping.”

image The artist also announces the recent publication of a new paperback version of The Hundred Headless Women. In 2006 a hand-made, edition was jointly published by The Institute for Electronic Arts at Alfred University and MA Nose Studios, Aspen, Colorado. The volume was on exhibit at the National Art Museum of China along with recent paintings and drawings in the 2007 show.

imageThe Hundred Headless Women artist book has been acquired by numerous private and public collections including the National Art Museum of China, The New York Public Library, and Henry Schein Inc., a Fortune 500 company. Other institutions are The Franklin Furnace, The American Academy in Rome, Simmons College and The University of New Mexico, and collectors such as Wynn Kramarsky and Barbara Lee.
