I can say this because I'm almost sure that he will never read this blog, but my first date with him was possibly the best night of my life. I have never before met somebody so perfect and beautiful inside and out. I have never been so happy in some body's presence. I have never met somebody who I can relate to so much, who thinks in such similar way. Somebody so kind a gentle. I honestly feel honoured to have even briefly known such an incredible person.
It hurts me so much that he is going to study in Edinburgh next year. So cliche and cheesy as it sounds, I decided to channel this into my work. In my research book I did some pages dedicated to George Watson which were supposed to resemble a creepy teenage diary.
On the first page I put a huge picture of him taken, with 'dark' written in the corner because he always described things which were unfortunate, unfair or unpleasant as 'dark' for some reason. I always (in a good way) found his whole aura a bit dark and creepy and wanted to portray this. I wrote his name out in bold black font and next to it I put a little red heart which said 'Creepy Heart' in the middle as I was aware that what I was doing was very creepy.
He always drew these little ghosts in his work that he called "Awkward ghosts', which weirdly reminded me of the drawings that I used to do as a child. He drew my my own awkward ghost and said that I was welcome to use it in my work if I wanted to. Normally I wouldn't want to copy somebody else's work, but seeing as my project is about symbolism, I felt that this ghost was a strong symbol of his identity so did mu own variations of it in my little booklet which I may use in some designs. I also did a little portrait of the way that I saw George Watson and wrote "You what sorry?" next to it, because he always used to say that.
