Joshua Burd is an illustrator living the life in Portland, Oregon. His work consists of masterfully created digital imagery, and technical watercolor paintings. His color palette mimics an urban lifestyle; muted and vibrant all at once, geared towards the happy yet melodramatic. Figurative in nature, his are quite often representations of the relation between mans animalistic nature and his desire to be technologically advanced. In other words, eccentric and out of this world.Tumblr (3.0; @joshuaburd)http://joshuaburd.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c325789235d6cb027bad5ec5097d6338/tumblr_mmvupyv9rk1ryzz48o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Late night crafting mega sesh#puppet#fatigue#school#craft</p>http://joshuaburd.tumblr.com/post/50565915101http://joshuaburd.tumblr.com/post/50565915101Thu, 16 May 2013 01:39:34 -0700fatigueschoolcraftpuppet<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/7d378de3d423c7fcb96dee34bee34d5b/tumblr_mmslqzVdNI1ryzz48o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Wip guy on the bus #bus#trimet#drawing#pencil#sketch#joshuaburd</p>http://joshuaburd.tumblr.com/post/50421092013http://joshuaburd.tumblr.com/post/50421092013Tue, 14 May 2013 07:32:58 -0700pencilsketchbustrimetjoshuaburddrawing<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/cfd6887bb2f4891d3240c1b49c089cd3/tumblr_mmslkh3Oyc1ryzz48o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Vans, creature, 730 am, school.

I have found that graphic novels are very helpful in practicing doing the figure and for clothing works on the form. Graphic novelists are very shape oriented, and my mind has always thought in shapes. I think they turned out great!</p>http://joshuaburd.tumblr.com/post/42533328123http://joshuaburd.tumblr.com/post/42533328123Thu, 07 Feb 2013 14:53:00 -0800fashionkingcitydesignfigureillustrationjoshuaburdcolor palette<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/e53d44063da28b451bf8dce7dfc9846b/tumblr_mgkruiKG2k1qaozxgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://littleworries.tumblr.com/post/40439372695/so-this-beast-is-in-a-tiny-folded-book-i-made" class="tumblr_blog">littleworries</a>:</p> <blockquote><p><span>So this beast is in a tiny folded book I made called ‘the sadly heads of beasts.’ It is 10cm by 6cm and has 7 original draws in it.</span><br/><span>If you are lonely or lovely you can buy it from me for a few monies and I will send it to you and also touch you in any of the places you like to be touched.</span><br/><br/><span>You can <a href="http://littleworries.bigcartel.com/">find it here</a> for the buying.</span><br/><br/><span>Onward, children.</span></p></blockquote> <p>Lovely</p>http://joshuaburd.tumblr.com/post/40501615710http://joshuaburd.tumblr.com/post/40501615710Sun, 13 Jan 2013 21:54:46 -0800<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/2c7ae98146c1cd7049bfb37abf4b4160/tumblr_mggb5aCvHr1ryzz48o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://joshuaburd.tumblr.com/post/40243316982/cat-in-za-hat-this-took-me-a-while-to-complete" class="tumblr_blog">joshuaburd</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>“Cat in za HAT”</p> <p>This took me a while to complete, and blasted me into a new way of creating my images, but still maintaining my very individual aesthetic.
