Andoe enjoyed drawing as a child, but did not create artwork until attending college. Andoe first realized that painting could be his career when he was enrolled in community college studying agricultural business. He was taking an elective class in art history when he learned about artists such as Robert Smithson and Dennis Oppenheim.{{cite web |last = National Public Radio|title = Joe Andoe: An Artist's Wild Tales| website=NPR |url = https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=14157083|access-date = August 9, 2012}} He soon changed his major and eventually earned a Master's Degree in Art from the University of Oklahoma in 1981.{{cite web | last=Encyclopedia.com | title=Andoe, Joe 1955– | url=http://www.encyclopedia.com/article-1G2-3072200020/andoe-joe-1955.html | access-date = August 11, 2012}}

Joe Andoe's paintings primarily focus on horses and landscapes. They have been described as "lean" and "roughly poetic" by art writer Deborah Solomon, who wrote in 2019 that Andoe was "an important forerunner of the photo-based realism that has become the default style among younger artists today."{{Cite web |first=Deborah |last=Solomon |title=Joe Andoe {{!}} Jubilee City |url=https://www.alminerech.com/exhibitions/699-joe-andoe-jubilee-city |access-date=2023-10-25 |website=Almine Rech |language=en}}
The New York Times described Andoe's Me Copying Cy Twombly copying Picasso as incorporating "deadpan ... conceptual humor", which was displayed in the 2023 "Echo of Picasso" group show honoring the artist's legacy.{{Cite news |last1=Lakin |first1=Max |last2=Gopnik |first2=Blake |last3=Heinrich |first3=Will |last4=D’Souza |first4=Aruna |last5=Vincler |first5=John |last6=Steinhauer |first6=Jillian |last7=Diehl |first7=Travis |last8=Smith |first8=Roberta |date=2023-12-01 |title=What to See in N.Y.C.

Writing career
Andoe had his first collection of stories published in 2003 by Open City Magazine. That same year he was published in Bomb{{Cite web |title=BOMB 84, Summer 2003 |url=https://bombmagazine.org/issues/84/ |access-date=2023-10-25 |website=BOMB Magazine}} and Bald Ego. Andoe had earlier authored a comic-book-sized group of stories about his life that he distributed to friends and family. In 2005, Harper Collins asked him to create a longer, narrative version of that work. These became the inspiration for Jubilee City: A Memoir at Full Speed (P.S.) which was published in 2007.
Amy Finnerty from the New York Times reviewed his memoir, writing, "[the subtitle] suggests that Andoe is eager to depict himself as a raw and reckless sort ... he is ardent but infantile, and his delivery is so deadpan that we’re never sure whether he’s self-critical or clueless."
