	Andy "Cosmo-Joe" Watkins was born in Milwaukee in the late 70s. While living there he went to Roosevelt; a Milwaukee charter school that specializes in the arts. In his teens he moved to the Fox Cities where he worked several mid-level management jobs throughout his much of his twenties. When he was 28 he quit his job to pursue his life's dream of being a professional artist. Since then Watkins has spent his time painting, drawing, writing lyrics for a rock band, designing games andother game products, and performing his "action art" at schools. Cosmo has gained attention for his radical style of spray paint painting from the media. He can often be found on State Street painting for large crowds of passer-bys on most summer Saturdays. He says that the people inspire him to paint and that it is their energy that drives him. In 2007 Andy Watkins founded Cosmo-Joe Entertainment; a company dedicated to the promotion of artists and arts. In 2014 he opened Studio 6d6, a workshop and gallery for creative projects. Most of Studio 6d6's 2000 square feet are dedicated to creating designer game tables. Studio 6d6 has also produced several unique dice designs and is working on several tabletop games. In 2016 Studio 6d6 moved to a 8,700 sq ft building in Menasha WI where we continue to make great game tables and custom game products. Our new location has allowed us to work on our biggest project ever: RPEX a full scale dungeon RPG for conventions. Andy lives in a humble apartment with his 2 cats close to downtown Menasha. He is an active member of the local art community. He holds the copyright to over 5,000 works of art, several games, a few designs for dice, and dozens of songs.
