Each one is hand “painted,” though instead of using brushes and paints, I use pixels and a tablet. They take nearly as long as traditional paintings, but are often done to allow for more than one person, usually a family member, to possess the same painting. Digital paintings are printed with archival ink onto canvas.

My publisher also decided he wanted me to not only illustrate the cover, but create an illustration for each story! I honestly resisted this because I wanted the stories to stand on their own. Then I realized that I am an artist first, always have been. It’s a part of my DNA, so why not embrace it. So the book is interwoven with woodcut-style illustration and tailpieces that I believe add to its overall appeal. My publsiher also fought me on the title of the book, which I wanted to name Leaving Copper Corner. I felt the title from an unknown author like me would get lost in the world of dogs, or a Jack London-world of wilderness stories. That happened from time-to-time, and confirmed that people do judge a book by the cover. But the book is about so much more. I had always been drawn to literature, specifically Hemingway, Jim Harrison, Pat Conroy, Pete Dexter and Norman MacLean. As a 13-year old camping in northern Minnesota, deep in the BWCA, I actually met Pat Conroy. The area was completely deserted, and our group was the only campers using the state campground that July of 1976. I was sitting on the bank of the Temperance River, sketching the scene, when I heard a booming voice say, “I want to make love to this river!” Long story short it was Pat and a couple friends doing some nature walk. He spent a few days with us in the nearby town of Tofte, partying with the adult teacher of our group, whose family was from there (his grandfather Chris Tormondson had founded the town). Years later to my delight and surprise, Pat agreed to right a glowing endorsement for my book. The book won some nice awards, including a Ben Franklin. You can still find it available at Amazon. I hope you’ll give it a try. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dae70b0629f887c6158d685/1573400037569-TIXWSWB0Q0DS79YI7Q6B/10401155_31014800874_8162_n.jpg My Book - Eight Dogs Named Jack and Fourteen Other Stories from the Detroit Streets and Michigan Wilderness In 2007 I was fortunate enough to have my short stories published.

In doings so, I’d hoped to pull people in with an impactful illustration thinking they might take a chance on an unknown author. Pat Conroy was kind enough to write a blurb for me. I found him through a fan website, wondering if he’d remember me after 30+ years, since I hadn’t any contact with him since our meeting in Northern Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Within an hour he replied that he did remember me and happily agreed to write the endorsement. https://www.motorcityjoe.com/sports daily 0.75 2025-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dae70b0629f887c6158d685/1739286453132-V6CCRVKTD1BY8GG0A5T7/Sonic+IG.jpg Sports https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dae70b0629f887c6158d685/1739286453132-V6CCRVKTD1BY8GG0A5T7/Sonic+IG.jpg Sports https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dae70b0629f887c6158d685/1739286460606-3O3RQY02WJIQ8114YN0S/DMONT.jpg Sports https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dae70b0629f887c6158d685/1705508677731-JZ8QJDAI5071XQFG6FLU/MCJ+Goff_BORRI.jpg Sports https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dae70b0629f887c6158d685/1704750967849-EKDX9E4SCMAXBQ208N9Y/Penei_Borri.jpg Sports https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dae70b0629f887c6158d685/1704750974314-G6O7SN7L4XAKXINNTT1D/Sun+God.jpg Sports https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dae70b0629f887c6158d685/1704750941022-1KCHZRYMX3AYKNFEX1B1/Hutch.jpg Sports https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dae70b0629f887c6158d685/1704750962719-3GYO81CL4SDWZ1HA2M8I/MCDC_BORRI.jpg Sports https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dae70b0629f887c6158d685/1739286466784-9163M45COO7XEAY19W89/Thor.jpg Sports https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dae70b0629f887c6158d685/1704750955757-B14L4FPAF4YSMTCWSNGH/LAPORTA_MCJ.jpg Sports https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dae70b0629f887c6158d685/1705508673151-FXC633SWN9QXRJO39GXS/MCJ+Jamo_Borri.jpg Sports https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dae70b0629f887c6158d685/1710157989481-KHR2F2K82AA3EEYWAMLA/LIONS+NFC+IG.jpg Sports https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dae70b0629f887c6158d685/1704750929684-XHUQV7IX5DZUFDZNRTG5/Alex+Kile.jpg Sports https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dae70b0629f887c6158d685/1704750961665-2KK556YUZID163W779R5/Larkin.jpg Sports https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dae70b0629f887c6158d685/1704750936174-65P1VMB6C5URD4ZWV1XX/Duren_BORRI.jpg Sports https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dae70b0629f887c6158d685/1704750947287-7GGFRCG3LO4ANV1J3X0L/Jaden.jpg Sports https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dae70b0629f887c6158d685/1704750976006-L56P6GE1SV955YA3TZKQ/Ronaldo.jpg Sports https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dae70b0629f887c6158d685/1704751085863-P1OWVM8DUX4F545O8UHW/Cade_Borri.jpg Sports https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dae70b0629f887c6158d685/1704750966967-EDPHWC78SKEIWKBMJEK4/Messi.jpg Sports https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dae70b0629f887c6158d685/1598365801264-JUBTSEE9401MM8VAUDJ8/Jordan_Borri_MCJ.jpg Sports - 1988 All Star Game 24” x 36” oil on canvas with heavy impasto technique.
