Biographical Note:
From Myrtle Creek, Oregon, animator and designer Christian Watson has longlived by the creed that a person ought to remain a student of many things. Actualizing this, he founded the 1924us studio, a workshop devoted tothoughtful design and the preservation of simpler virtues, talents and fadingskillsets. In 2023, while residing in Tasmania with his wife Elle-May and theirtwo children, he sketched the first likeness of Mr Skelly, a small figure that, tohis surprise, came to hold meaning for millions. Christian writes as he works: with plain earnestness, an eye for the unseen and a belief that even the quietestlife is extraordinary.

His work, as well as his studio, can be found at www.1924.us

Review Quotes:
"A tender inspirational volume showcasing drawings of [Christian Watson's] popular online character Mr. Skelly, a cartoony (think early black-and-white Looney Tunes) skeleton living out normal scenes of everyday life, captioned and thought-bubbled with ruminations about how one ought to treasure the time one has on Earth . . . This pulls at the heartstrings." --Publishers Weekly
