Joshua Norton (born December 10, 1976) is an American artist, print maker, and designer. Norton is most well known for creating intensely colored woodcut prints (occasionally combining them with digital)^[1] and his graphic poster design.^[2][3] Born in Minnesota, he earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Wisconsin-Stout in 2001, and his Master of Fine Arts at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2009. His work has been exhibited throughout the United States, Finland, the UK and beyond.

Norton's work, Die! Akhnaten Die! is a series of 20 large scale sequential woodcut prints that are loosely based on the power struggle between the 'heretic' Pharaoh Akhenaten, and the polytheistic priests of Egypt.^[2] The story is told not as an Egyptian tale, but as a Wild West cowboy tale, in order to draw attention to the underlying theme instead of specific characters. This work was published as a paperback book in April 2009.^[4]
