Josh Levitas is a Philadelphia graphic artist with over ten years of professional experience in the areas of illustration, graphic design, production art, and printing. Having gained an in-depth knowledge of the technical side and the economics of production in addition to the artistic process, he is able to offer clients an end product that not only looks good, but saves them money, as well. He has done work for a variety of clients, including the bands The Lovin Spoonful and Blood Sweat and Tears; corporate clients Barnes and Noble.com and Independence Blue Cross; and non-profit organizations, like The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia.

In addition to his position as a full-time graphic artist at Independence Blue Cross, Josh is also a founding partner of Throwaway Horse, LLC and handles the graphic design, web design, iPad user interface design, production art, and hand lettering for Throwaway Horse’s flagship project, ULYSSES “SEEN”. This ambitious comix adaptation of James Joyce’s Ulysses by artist Robert Berry, though still in its beginning stages, has garnered attention from the likes of the New York Times, TIME, Slate.com, Wired, MacWorld, the New Yorker and Paste Magazine, and bassist extraordinare Mike Watt. Other Throwaway Horse projects include the Spring, 2011 release of Martin Rowson’s The Waste Land “Seen”, an iPad app featuring Martin Rowson’s brilliant graphic novel film noir style parody of T.S. Eliot’s epic poem with full reader’s guide by Mike Barsanti, and the Fall, 2011 iPad release of Age of Bronze “Seen”. The latter pairs Eric Shanower’s meticulously-researched, beautifully drawn, Eisner-Award-winning graphic novelization of the story of the Trojan War with reader’s guide notes by Yale University’s Thomas Beasley.
