Joseph Norman Howell Bold textTHE UNDISCOVERED ARTIST (May 1, 1952-October 14, 2009)Long time Austin, Texas resident;Taxi-driver, Gamester, Artist,Intellectual, Hermit, and good Friend. Known and loved by only a few;you had to go seek him out to Appreciate his Lust for Life. He’d scoff at anyone honoring him but we honor him anyway. He was troubled genius. Intolerant of ignorance, prejudice, opinions; except his own. Continually self-educated. He enriched the lives of those who knew him; made you think. You must see his paintings.
