The Legend of Wicked Jack

The Legend of Wicked Jack
Based upon the mountain folktale I was told as a child, "Wicked Jack" tells the story of a fellow so wicked that he is not allowed into Hell. The Devil instead gives him a coal of hellfire and places it into a lantern carved from a pumpkin. Jack is doomed to walk the earth between Heaven and Hell for all eternity with only the light from his lantern to keep him company. This is where the term Jack O' Lantern comes from... Referring of course to Wicked ol' Jack and his lantern.

Gregbo Visits Coffee Corner at Robinson Funeral Home

Gregbo gets a Starbucks Iced Mocha Venti at the newly opened Coffee Corner in at Robinson Funeral Home in Easley, SC.[/caption] Today the new Coffee Corner opened at Robinson Funeral Home in Easley, SC. This is the first and only coffee shop in Easley that serves the Starbucks brand. The place is absolutely gorgeous and obviously the coffee is fantastic! While there has been no "Grand Opening" yet, the shop is open and serving. This is awesome for me because my studio is located just down the road, so I can now grab a Starbucks whenever the mood hits without having to drive out of the city. After all of the world-wide media attention this received, I have been anxiously waiting for Coffee Corner to open. This morning, I met my father at the shop and bought him a cup of coffee while we both checked the place out. It really is quite amazing. If you grew up in Easley, you will notice that the entrance faces Main Street and the parking lot was once used by the "historic" Colony Theater... Which brings back some great memories from my youth. Along with coffee, they are serving other goodies such as cookies and muffins. The Robinson's are good friends of mine and I think they have a huge hit on their hands. (Way to go Chris and Rebecca!!) I wish them continued success and am really going to enjoy having easy access to Starbucks in my home town. Pictured left-to-right below are Chris Robinson, Gregbo Watson, and H. Dean Watson (Gregbo's Dad).

Gregbo Watson To Illustrate Upcoming CrindelStar Book
I will be illustrating the upcoming CrindelStar book by fabulous author/creator Gigi de Lugo. CrindelStar already has a growing following based on Gigi's imaginative stories. I'm very excited to be involved with this unique project and working with Gigi is amazing! Lots of fun. 
Along with the book, there are several other "top secret" projects involving CrindelStar that I can't announce yet, but it is some REALLY cool stuff. I just finished the first conceptual illustration for the character and have posted it in my portfolio. Be sure to check it out! For Official CrindelStar News from Gigi de Lugo, visit "CrindelStar : Where The Universe Dreams". Visit CrindelStar on Facebook.
CrindelStar is an inspirational story about a young girl, Maria, who is facing peer pressure from her classmates to abandon believing in her precious unicorns. We learn through Maria’s encounter with a mystical creature, CrindelStar, that what she believes of herself creates the foundation of what she might ultimately contribute to the world through her life’s purpose and gift. CrindelStar arrives to rescue Maria from her despair, however, through Maria’s compassion, honesty, and personal courage CrindelStar is saved as well ! Life lessons are gently crafted throughout the story of CrindelStar. Beneath this mystical tale is a universal truth embracing all cultures, children and adults, a message of inspiration and courage to cherish our uniqueness. Maria is choosing to give up, giving in, she loses sight of her personal identity, which is the great tragedy CrindelStar arrives to avert. In the end, Maria embraces the joy of her individuality and is committed to live her life as an example to others. CrindelStar is a personally empowering message from the future, a reminder of how vital today’s choices can be, that we can affect our future by choosing the Hero’s Journey – a reminder that we each contribute our one-of-a-kind precious ingredient to the beauty of our planet’s tapestry.
Along with the book, there are several other "top secret" projects involving CrindelStar that I can't announce yet, but it is some REALLY cool stuff.

Gregbo Watson's "Tribute To Steve Jobs" Showcased in Print
My portrait of Apple visionary, Steve Jobs is currently being showcased in Art Creations Magazine (Issue #5) and in the book "Steve Jobs: Artist Tribute: Collection of Artworks & Caricatures of Steve Jobs with a History of Products" by Marcin Migdal (Mad Artist Publishing). My painting/illustration "Tribute to Steve Jobs" was painted on the day the news of his passing was made public. Like many fellow artists and creative folks from all over the world, I created this piece of art as my way of showing my admiration and appreciation for the contributions Steve Jobs brought to this world. My portrait of Jobs depicts his journey through this world from an idealistic young man set on "changing the world" to becoming the black turtleneck, jeans, and sneaker wearing pop icon of his later years. You can see Gregbo Watson's "Tribute To Steve Jobs" in the following publications:
