Born in 1985, Josh Medcalf has lived in the northwest suburbs of Chicago all his life. In May 2009, he graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a B.A. in Film and Video.

He has worked as a film editor for the TV series "From the Outdoors to the Kitchen" and on numerous short films, as a freelance wedding videographer, and as a staff writer for the Parallax Review, a film criticism website with an emphasis in cult/underground cinema. His work has been featured in the Chicago-based publication Pith Magazine, and the online literary and art magazine Sloth Jockey. He was a winner of the PxlDust first annual art contest, and an honorable mention winner for the MyArtworkSpace.com 2nd Annual Spring Art Competition.

In January of 2012, Josh directed and shot a documentary about the Dublin band The Irish House Party during their Chicagoland tour, a project which is currently in post-production. Most recently, he has launched the new webcomic series Who Saw The Deep with fellow comic book artist Jake Hollander.

He is currently working on a number of projects in multiple mediums, including illustration, photography, and screenwriting.

Josh likes being shocked into new modes of awareness and hopes that his work is able to accomplish the same for others. A common theme in his work is that of confronting fear - fear of the failure that often comes with experimentation and exploring beyond one's comfort zone. In his work, he likes to examine the raging, subconscious voices that ram against the walls of inhibition we build inside our heads. There is something dark there, but also something beautiful.
