What Clients Say About Joey...

"I wanted to thank you for your partiipation in the 1999 PONG Electronic Art Festival at Brown University. Your talk was the highloight of our three-day festival and everyone is still talking about your work. I know that the large number of young artists in attendance were inspired by the passion you bring to your work, and your abilitiiy to combine the serious pursuit of a vision that is original and controversial with such great wit and humor."
Todd Winkler, Music Department, Brown University, Rhode Island

"It is without hesitation that I say Convergence '98, the 20th Annual Convention of the Canadian Association of Journalists, would not hae been the same without you. Simply put, your participation forced introspection and issues of the most important kind...The lasting resonance of your work, and your commitment to thi smission, is awesome. I am forever grateful that this dedication compelled you to speak at Convergence '98, and agree to put yourself out in front of a potentially hostile, or at the very least, a quite possibly disinterested and ignorant crowd. To your credit, you won this crowd over, succeeding even in invigorating and entertaining several of the ranks...For your contributions to our convention, to art, to democracy, to humour and to journalism, I thank you."
James Dunne, The Canadian Association of Journalists, Toronto, Canada

"It was really a delight to spend some time with you, on a personal level. On a professional one, your presentation really marked a turning point in our festival. Before you took the stage, our Media Forum was a kind of academic talkfest that we were desperately trying to mainstream. Afterwards, the 450-500 audience members (and we turned away about 100) left knowing much more about our mission. We learned a lot, too, and in planning this year's Forum, we remind ourselves to find programs "like Joey's" -- ones that get our shared message across in a creative, entertaining way. I think the work you are doing is vital and fascinating."
Jason Silverman, Festival Programmer, Taos Talking Pictures Film Festival, New Mexico

"I cannot but again thank you for your more than successful presentation about your work with which we opened our series of Journalism Evenings sponsored by the Open Society Institute - Slovenia. As you know, the lecture hall was filled beyond capacity. You joked that you got a standing ovation because there was no place for most people to sit. But in reality, the more important standing ovation came from the media. I don't remember that anyone in our field has ever received such extensive and exuberant coverage. You are still the talk of the town."
Boris Cibej, Open Society Institute - Slovenia, Ljubljana, Slovenia

"Skaggs strikes out at what he sees as hypocrisy and injustice concerning vital issues such as truth and ethics in the news media."
Glasgow University Magazine

"Your creative direction, artistic perception and technical ability created one of the most successful Children's Parties for ABC Advertisers and their families ever.ou very much for your unfailing help. It was a pleasure to be able to turn a show as complex as this over to someone with your talent. I look forward to working with you again on another project."
Claire Stoddard Manager, Special Projects, Creative Service,s American Broadcasting Companies, Inc
