I go by a.g. watson here on the web and in my art, but some of you know me as Allison, others stick with Watson.

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I don't take myself too seriously, am crude and sarcastic, but that I am also passionate about helping other people to be passionate about something--anything--as long as it motivates you and gets you going. For me, those things are art and music.

I have been a traditional artist since I could hold a pencil, but during high school I began to seriously focus on my photography. My senior year of high school, I was given the pleasant surprise of having been submitted to Shutterbug magazine, a mainstream photography magazine, by one of my teachers. This issue was published in July 2004 as a Student Union one-page spread. This motivated me to pursue photography further, and the following spring I had my first (and only!) cafe show where I had works on sale and displayed for 3 months.

Since then, I have moved onto college and received a B.A. in Liberal Arts with a focus on Arts in Context (photography and cultural anthropology) in May of 2008. I spent a few years in the wonderful New York City where I continue to pursue my art and music and general zest for all things tattoo despite having moved about an hour and a half outside of the city.

I have been involved in deviantART since 2002 and am excited to finally have a chance to give back to the community that has [especially recently] really helped lift my spirits and inspire me to keep on keepin' on, both artistically and personally.

I am the Gallery Moderator for the Fetish Portrait photography gallery, which means I deal with your whips and chains and fun toys like that--but only in the context of portraiture! I have also taken up residence in the Abstract & Surreal photography galleries, so for your questions, concerns, and DDs concerning Fetish, Abstract, and Surreal...come to me! I try to be very accessible, and am constantly checking my email, my dA page, and hanging out on dAmn in multiple chats, most notably the dAmn headquarters for Fetish, Abstract, and Surreal: #thevaginamafia.

I administrate a group account for artists whose work expresses the effects of illness on their lives and gives an opportunity to spread awareness, called *ItDoesNotHaveMe. I can also be found moderating #photographers and #skinART, among a slew of other channels on dAmn.

Cheers!
