Joedicke is of Scottish and Cayuga descent, and a member of the Turtle Clan. [1] [2] He grew up in Caledonia, Ontario and is a "lifelong self-described doodler". [1] A self-taught artist, his mural work evolved from practicing graffiti. [3] [1]

Joedicke began pursuing art professionally after being laid off during the COVID-19 pandemic. [4] Since completing his first mural in 2021, Joedicke's work has expanded to include the redesigning team logos, including one for the Hamilton Tiger Cats unveiled in 2023. [5] In 2025 a new Waterloo Warriors logo designed by Joedicke was launched. [6] His mural "The Great Law of Peace" was unveiled at the University of Waterloo the year prior. [4]
