Joseph Cowman - Illustration and fine art
 
 
 
My story began a long time ago,  before the wife and the kids, and all of the beauty that makes my life so rich (& also reasonably chaotic).  I can’t recall exactly when I fell in love with creating & building, I imagine it must have been something as cliché as “it was just in my blood”.  My earliest memories find me building, imagining and creating.  I remember scouring the farmhouse I grew up in and the surrounding property for odd pieces of whatever I could find; wood, metal scraps, plastic tubing, bolts, etc, that could be used to assemble something useful or beautiful.   But my real passion was born when I put a pencil to paper & the power to create worlds, share what inspires me and tell a story was realized.  My wife and I are blessed with three hilarious, amazing, sensitive children, who inspire my every piece of art. 
 
My life is truly blessed, I spend my days with the ones I hold dear, and my art is embodied in them.
