Joshua Cook

Born and raised in Oklahoma, Joshua started sculpting with recycled metal, wood, and whatever else he could get his hands on in 2012, while studying art at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma. Since then he has exhibited his pieces at shows and festivals locally and in other states. The subject matter of his sculptures is primarily animals (he particularly enjoys insects), but mythical creatures and even plants make an appearance. Joshua creates his sculptures without welding, instead using glues, epoxies, tension, and bolts. They are then hand-painted to mimic the subject’s natural coloring, but with a metallic twist. Joshua has also been playing tabletop wargames and painting miniatures for them since he was seven. 25 years later, he is in the middle of DMing his third multi-year long D&D 5e campaign.
