About Joe Journeyman
Joe Journeyman Volume 1 is a story of friendship created and inspired by two childhood friends, author David Bazzoni and artist Jed Bruce, who reconnected by chance after 13 years. At the time, Bruce was a struggling artist who was desperate to find an opportunity to share his art. Bazzoni, president of consumer products company IDNA Brands, hired Bruce on the spot with no formal plans for what he would be doing on a daily basis. Creating Joe Journeyman has allowed Bruce to live out his dream.
In this beautifully illustrated book, children can go on an adventure with Joe and his adoring friends. Be on the look out for all of the “wild and wacky” things! There is never a dull moment with Zone Ernie, Super Fan Franny, Pom Pom Polly, Touchdown Ted, and of course Leon the Lion! These loyal companions are constantly searching for Joe’s valuable playbook to keep it safe from Copycat Carl. Carl is Joe Journeyman’s nemesis who wants to steal the book in order to make copies of Joe’s secret plays.
Throughout the book are words of encouragement that share the highlights of Joe Journeyman’s career in each city. His journey was truly inspiring and incredible!
Just before kick-off and to everyone’s surprise – Journeyman led a sell out crowd in the singing of our national anthem. Highlighted by a red, white, and blue fly over, the crowd errupted with excitement and the stadium shook with enthusiasm. O’ what a game it was! In the final minute of play, muskets fired and fans cheered as Journeyman returned a kickoff 101 yards for a game- winning touchdown! ~ excerpt from Joe Journeyman Volume 1 – Patriots
