Leigh Joseph McCloskey (born June 21, 1955) is an American artist, author, actor and self-described "visual philosopher". He is known for the immersive, hand-painted library installation The Hieroglyph of the Human Soul (sometimes abbreviated THOTHS), created in his Malibu home as an ongoing visual–philosophical environment beginning in 2001. His pen-drawn tarot cycle was published as Tarot ReVisioned (2003), and imagery from his illuminated books Codex Tor was used on the cover and packaging of Flying Lotus’s album Cosmogramma (2010). McCloskey delivered the 2024 commencement address at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, California.
