Life is Art.

About Me


I'm an artist/graphic designer. Hoping to make new friends/network. I LOVE Michigan Football!!! GO BLUE!!! My web site is www.williamdesign.com . All of William's illustrations, artwork, and poetry on www.myspace.com, www.myartspace.com, and www.williamdesign.com are copyrighted by William Watson, 2007. William's MySpace site is dedicated in loving memory to Jim Morrison of The Doors and Pop Artist Andy Warhol for their creative genius.
"William's Self-Fulfilled Prophecy" Art Gallery is dedicated to The Dandy Warhols in honor of their creative music. Background music is by The Dandy Warhols ("Boys Better") from their "The Dandy Warhols Come Down" album.
William's "Life is Art" Gallery is a digital gallery that is a celebration of William's daughter, Macy, on her 1st birthday, July 8, 2007. It was created exclusively for MySpace, and dedicated to William's beautiful wife Jen, and his darling daughter Macy. Background music is by John Cale ("I Shot Andy Warhol Suite") from the "I Shot Andy Warhol" movie soundtrack. Some photo credits go out to Melissa Squires ( www.agirlinlove.com ), Boyce Photography, and Lifetouch Photography.
The "WilliamDesign" Gallery is a collection (portfolio) of William's brilliant design work while designing freelance for Washtenaw County, Ann Arbor, MI, designing full-time at O'Briens Agency in Lansing, MI (for GM), at BBDO-Detroit in Troy, MI (for Chrysler), and at Eastman Outdoors in Flushing, MI. It is dedicated to William's artistic idol, Andy Warhol. Background music is by New Order ("True Faith") from their wonderful "International" album.
"Macy's Purple Popsicle" Gallery is a collection of Macy's artwork at one-year old at daycare. Artwork is for sale at the artist's discretion. She is dedicating her gallery to her daddy, William. Background music is by her favorite band, Modest Mouse ("Float On"), from their "Good News for People Who Love Bad News" album.
"All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once they grow up." — Picasso.
"The Path of Darkness"
(A Poem by William Watson)
Across the timeless darkness,
I searched my soul for something left.
Damaged by the pains of life,
I came out of it a changed man.
With strength, courage, and resilience,
I will be born again.
"I bled my heart. I created life." — William Watson
"I wear Black on the outside, 'Cause Black is how I feel on the inside." — The Smiths, "Unloveable."
“I see myself as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star. Everyone stops, points up and gasps 'Oh look at that!' Then — whoosh, and I'm gone ... and they'll never see anything like it ever again ... and they won't be able to forget me — ever.” — Jim Morrison

"Early family photo from the 70's. Weren't my bro and I cute? Nice fake background!
You know, we always went out in the woods for our family photo! Nice touch!"
"Andy is my God."
"Join my creative mess of a revolution against violence in the world!"

Im posting Gwen Stefani (I think this is a cool picture of her).

She's one of the best female singers out there (in my opinion), with a lot of her own creativeness and coolness in everything she does. I liked her since she was in "No Doubt." I like her husband, G...

George W. Bush is the greatest divider in American Politics.

I usually prefer to keep my mouth shut when it comes to politics, mainly because it bores the hell out of me, but for a president who claims to be a "unificator," he has managed to divide us from not ...

The Morrissey Concert.
