Over the years, Joseph has been commissioned to create works for various people and organizations, including a 9/11 memorial for the Snug Harbor Cultural Center on Staten Island and even a sculpture for former NYC Mayor Ed Koch portraying former Mayor Rudy Giuliani as a 1950’s style movie monster.
Throughout his career, Joseph has worked on projects for such clients as Harper’s Bazaar Magazine, Juicy Couture, Macy’s, The Children’s Museum of Manhattan, Nike, punk rock legends The Ramones, The Misfits and even Lady Gaga. Joseph has garnered worldwide attention through his multi-media art installation and continuing series that portray fictitious disasters such as the Staten Island Ferry being attacked by a giant octopus and other events in NYC history featured on his website NYCurbanlegends.com.
