Joshua Scranton is an American digital artist who draws great inspiration from Chinese and Japanese culture, as well as the cyberpunk and science fiction genres. His works are characterized by a focus on detail and a mastery of digital image manipulation. One of Joshua Scranton's most representative works is "Forgiveness Babylon". In this image, two figures wearing astronaut suits stand in front of a touch screen panel with Chinese writing on it The sunset creates a suggestive and mysterious atmosphere, evoking distant and futuristic worlds The two figures appear to be bound by a strong bond, as if they were trying to protect each other in a hostile environment. The work highlights the importance of communication and solidarity in a world where cultural and linguistic barriers can create divisions. "Surrender and Rise" is another work that highlights Joshua Scranton's passion for science fiction and Japanese anime. In this image, a woman holds a luminous sword and is kneeling on a cross in a cemetery. The cross symbol evokes Christian symbolism, but the sword and the woman's outfit are clearly inspired by Japanese anime characters
