Step into the world of Christian Watson’s creative studio, 1924us. Favoring historical tools and revisiting old techniques, the graphic designer, photographer, and illustrator applies his vision to anything, from brand and retail design, to tattooing and typography.

His atelier, 1924us revives modern brands with analogue craftsmanship. Persevering the practices and heritage style of the early 1900s, the brand’s work has come to epitomize this new-old aesthetic beyond the digital. Founded in Portland, 1924us has worked for more than 200 companies and also operates a general store.

Venture Onward is the comprehensive monograph of the artist’s work, providing beautiful and nostalgic visuals, which inspires readers to slow down and enjoy that which lasts a lifetime.
