I’ve worked with John Watson for over 20 years on many graphic design projects, including postcards, letterhead and envelope design, signage, team resumes, portfolio books, business cards. Additionally John has provided “art director” support in reviewing photo appearance, sizing, and resolution, which is a unique skill reflecting his experience as a professional photographer. He’s rigorous, has an amazing eye, and everything he’s done for us has what I refer to as the “John Midas” touch. It would be difficult to find a graphic designer who is more skilled as well as talented. I’m accustomed to getting numerous compliments on his work. Highly recommended! **★★★★★ — johncrane\_lb, May 2021** > I've had the pleasure of working with John Watson and John Watson Studio for many years on a myriad of projects. His aesthetic is simple, considered, exacting and compelling. Moreover, his unique perspective is applied across a variety of channels to create exciting solutions for both business and fine art applications. Whether in graphic design, textile design, photography, photo-composition, illustration, or fine art, John is a fine collaborator whose talent, skill and artful experience clearly puts him in a rare category of Best of the Best. > -John Crane, Creative Director, Providence Health, 2021 **★★★★★ — Landkamer Art / Mark Landkamer, May 2021** > John has the ability to evoke a sense of wonder and newness with his beautiful and impactful fine art. All of his works, whether photographic-based or graphic design-based always showcase a unique visual voice and that is SO hard for an artist to do! To separate out as an artist from the plethora of art vying for attention is difficult. But John does. His amazing digital creations bring so much life to the environments they are shown in. His works showcase a high level of craft and professionalism that is to be admired. Highly recommend John's work! **★★★★★ — Suzy R. Locke & Associates, May 2021** > I have worked with John Watson for over 40 years. John continues to evolve and expand his vision for beautifully rendered landscapes, abstracted landscapes and avian subject matter. John is a consummate professional and is easy to work with on a commission basis. It has been a great pleasure to place John's work with over 40 of my clients. **★★★★★ — Liz Mazurski \| WellHaus, May 2021** > John is the best kind of creative to work with - easy-going, super well-versed in all manner of art forms and ever in pursuit of experimenting with new materials, color, patterns. Not to mention that he's one of the most keenly observant people I've ever encountered. **★★★★★ — Ginny Tominia Chandra Cerrito / Art Advisors, May 2021** > John Watson is a great pleasure to work with! The quality of his prints is gorgeous. His correspondence is prompt, and courteous. John's artwork is consistently beloved by my clients, and I always look forward to working with him. ## Selected projects - [Pattern Prints](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pattern-prints-pj-vj~6615728) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Dot Landscapes & Portraits](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dot-landscapes-and-portraits-pj-vj~6613413) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Chroma Leaves](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chroma-leaves-pj-vj~6615450) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Leaves](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/leaves-pj-vj~6615404) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 [See all 4 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/artists-and-artisans/john-watson-studio-pfvwus-pf~1296139349) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
