Life
Josh Kirby was educated at the Liverpool City School of Art, where he acquired the nickname Josh, which comes from having his work compared to that of Sir Joshua Reynolds. The nickname stuck and Kirby was rarely called by his real name later. He died unexpectedly, of natural causes, in his sleep at home in Shelfanger near Diss in Norfolk at the age of 72. He was painting a new addition to his Magnum Opus, the Voyage of the Ayeguy portfolio before he died.

Tomorrow new diaries consulted, new calendars stand;
With such small adjustments life will again move forward

Us who need you, and are affected by your fortune;
Us you should love and to whom you should give your word.””
