Bringing Smiles Through Art

Joseph Watson is spreading joy with his gift for imagery

Widely recognized by his signature “JOEE,” Joseph Watson has been channeling creativity since his early days growing up in Gardena, California Art became his refuge and outlet for expression, shaped not only by exceptional mentors but also by the vivid backdrop of Los Angeles. The city’s rhythm — its excitement, danger, culture, and love — deeply influenced his artistic lens. An attentive observer of everyday life, Joseph creates work driven by story, transformation, and the subtle moments that make daily life extraordinary. 

In 1998, he graduated with honors from the prestigious Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, a milestone that reflected his dedication and artistic strength. 

Life after college opened the doors to a dynamic and expansive career. Joseph’s talents have touched everything from concept design for major video game companies to toy creation at Mattel. He founded and operated his own gallery for 12 years, contributed philanthropic art to community causes, made television appearances, and produced original commissioned paintings—including pieces now featured inside the Raiders’ Allegiant Stadium. 

His creativity is also showcased in children’s literature. Watson is the illustrator behind the “Go, Go, Greta” and “Jo Jo Goose” book series, bringing playful characters and vibrant worlds to young readers. He continues to expand his artistic reach as a proud member of the powerhouse collective, the Art School Giants. 

Whether through fine art, storytelling, or mentorship, Joseph Watson creates work that lingers — art that sparks joy, reflection, and connection long after the first encounter.
