Makayla Watson

22, Gay. Currently trying to make art in a blackhole sea of depression. Sometimes I make jokes.

I get excited about birds, bright colors, drawings of hands, and my cat Charlie. The background noise of my life is weird indie music 24/7.

My dream is to teach art at some university and own a small house filled with an oppressive amount of plants. Until then, I'm focusing on overcoming my disabilities, finishing my education, and getting a foot in the art industry. If I could be doing anything right now I'd be hiking in Short Sands.

( Now, I'm fully aware that I sound like some quintessential Portland Lesbian™ stereotype but rest assured I only own one flannel shirt. )

When I'm not feeling like unburnable garbage, I devote my time to making digital art—paintings, design, cartoons; you name it. Nothing beats a good life drawing session though.

What else? I like to play guitar (badly) and spend hours on electronic songs I've yet to finish. Storytelling really does it for me, so I've also found a ton of ways to not finish all sorts of things! I've also spent an absurd amount of time playing Pokemon in my day.

I have a lot of strong opinions about my current media fixations and will never get over the shame of picking up basic Japanese from Naruto. ( Et donc, je parle francais mais c'est un autre histoire entertainment. )
