Animator and designer Christian Watson has long lived by the creed that a person ought to remain a student of many things.Actualising this, he founded the 1924us studio, a workshop devoted to thoughtful design and the preservation of simpler virtues, talents and fading skillsets. In 2023, while residing in Tasmania with his wife Elle-May and their two children, he sketched the first likeness of Mr Skelly, a small figure that, to his 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 quietest life is extraordinary.His work, as well as his studio, can be found at www.1924.us and @1924us
