Joel Kirk studied at Southend College of Art for three years, then became a freelance artist working for a number of publishing houses, including leading publishers, Felix Rosenstiels, which relationship gave Joel Kirk a successful career for the five years he was connected with the company. His supreme quality and accuracy has built him a worldwide following, especially in North America, Australia, Japan, Europe and the United Kingdom.
