Joseph also produces traditional limited edition multi-color woodblock prints and Japanese moku hanga woodblock prints having studied the latter technique with Takuji Hamanaka, Matthew Brown and William Paden. Vorgity was introduced to the method in 1982 by Ferol Sibley Warthen, a major proponent of the technique in Provincetown. Each white line print has an anticipated edition of 50. The prints are hand rendered with watercolor giving them the quality of paintings.

Multi-color prints are pulled from one matrix block with a white line separating each color shape. Vorgity's woodblock prints are made in the Provincetown white line style. His strongest influences come from the American Precisionist Movement, the Arts and Craft Movement and from Japonisme. Some of the male figurative pieces are modeled after traditional religious pictures of saints and deities while others are related to figures in Japanese woodblock prints of the early 20th century. Some themes are narrative, others have a surreal quality while many are created primarily for their beauty and visual impact. His still life, landscape and male figurative subject matter are recognized by strong flat areas of color with sharp lines to delineate shapes.
