From Architecture to Animation: Christian Watson on Art, ADHD, and the Human Experience

Manifesto Radio

Christian Watson is the 32 year old designer behind 1924us, known for drawing brands, logos and other things by hand, he also has a shop selling interesting goods, and animates frame-by-frame short-movies.

Christian Watson and Ed's conversation touches on several profound themes such as creativity, inspiration, parenthood, the impact of personal experiences, the importance of being present, and the healing power of art and connection. They delve into the challenges of ADHD, the significance of deep emotional connections, and the absurdity of life. They discuss generational perspectives, cultural differences in parenting, and the evolving political landscape. The dialogue also highlights Christian's transition from architecture to animation, the symbolism of skeletons in his art, and how he connects with a collective subconscious through social media. They emphasize the need for empathy and understanding in navigating personal and familial challenges, the importance of making death approachable through art, and the necessity of community and connection. Ultimately, they stress the need to embrace the present moment and find meaning in the chaos of existence.
