My name is John Paul Watson. I have always loved art, fantasy, and creations in general. I was born and raised in Florida. I began drawing very young and started in a raggedy cheap sketch book. My first sketches and drawings were awful. I drew a lot in classes growing up and took some smattering of art classes in grade school. I took some classes in drawing, painting, figure drawing, etc. in college but graduated with a BA in Psychology. 

Partly self taught afterwards through online references, online classes, and books - I looked everywhere for direction. Pulling inspiration from artists, nature, books, and everywhere in life. 

Tattoo Artist, Painter, Illustrator, Pyrographer, and Musician. Husband to a beautiful wife and surrogate father to an adorably puppy named Wendy.
