Joseph Bodner's first inspiration to paint came during World War 2, when he painted various insignias on Air Force Jackets and on the noses of the now vintage Bombers-"the pin-up type", he used to say. He flew many missions as a combat crew member in the Air Force. It was divine fate and an ear infection that kept Joe in sickbay on the day his buddies were shot down, leaving only one survivor.
Over the years, Joseph Bodner's work has won many awards, and he was given the privilege to exhibit in a one-man show at the Los Angeles, County Museum of Art.
