Joseph Watson also known from his signature “JOEE” grew up in Gardena, CA. Art has been a creative escape for him ever since his youth. Throughout the years, Joseph had the opportunity to be influenced not only by great creative mentors, but also by the wonderful Los Angeles landscape where everyday life was unique and filled with excitement, danger, culture and love. It’s obvious that Joseph is an observer of everyday occurrences. His work can be described as daily life driven by story, transformation and the decorative element. In 1998, he graduated with honors from the Prestigious Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. This was a true test of his dedication, creativity and strength.
Life after college opened his eyes to many opportunities where his work could be applied. Every-thing from doing concepts for major video game companies, toy design at Mattel, philanthropic endeavors with art, mentoring, television appearances and children’s book development are just a few of the things that Joseph is involved in. Series such as his Urban Flora Collection and Musical Vehicles have earned the respect of many. Also, Joseph is the Illustrator of the Go, Go, Greta children’s books. His art is something that stays with you long after you view it for the first time.
