How Lucky We Really Are

"This book is a breath of fresh air. It is calming and gentle in its delivery to switch your perspective to something positive. The illustrations are beautiful and have a surprising amount of detail. One thing that immediately stood out to me is the burning paper scraps that the text is on. I absolutely love this design."

Jerrica B. (5/5)

A beautiful, uplifting art collection

"I was not familiar with Mr Skelly prior to reading this book, but I can see why he is an "Instagram sensation. " Christian Watson's artwork is gorgeous and features idyllic, rustic, cozy scenes. Sometimes Mr Skelly is joined by a friend, and although they don't talk, it is evident from how they are drawn that they are truly enjoying the present moment. Most pages have a short saying (e. g. , "don't believe everything you think") on what looks like a scrap of aged paper with a gilded or glowing edge, which is a really lovely touch. There are also some brief written passages from the author where he explains his thinking process behind some of the perspectives shown in the book (e. g. , "it's all going to work out). These are helpful for providing some context for the short sayings that are used throughout the book. Being a pragmatist, I have to say that some of the sayings do come across as platitudes. However, the use of skeletons as characters in this book prevents it from being too trite for me to enjoy. Due to their association with death (and our natural human fear of death), skeletons don't usually bring up warm, fuzzy feelings for most people. But Mr Skelly and his companions are shown enjoying life, whether together or alone. These characters are a constant reminder that life is finite, but that this fact doesn't have to be scary. Had the characters been cute squirrels or faeries or any other kind of creature that is not associated with darkness or mortality like skeletons are, this book would have come across as superficial, and probably would have given me a toothache. How Lucky Am I is a beautifully done piece of work, and I can see it comforting many people as they flip through its pages during difficult times. Thank you to Netgalley, Christian Watson, and Clarkson Potter/10 Speed Press for providing me with an eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review."

“A tender inspirational volume showcasing drawings of [Christian Watson’s] popular online character Mr. Skelly, a cartoony (think early black-and-white Looney Tunes) skeleton living out normal scenes of everyday life, captioned and thought-bubbled with ruminations about how one ought to treasure the time one has on Earth . . . This pulls at the heartstrings.”Publishers Weekly

“In such a chaotic world, a calming and beautiful book like this one is more necessary than ever.”—Book Riot

“Anyone who has a skeleton inside of them will appreciate this healing book. It will make readers slow down and recognize how lucky they are to be alive.”—Library Journal

From Myrtle Creek, Oregon, animator and designer Christian Watson has longlived by the creed that a person ought to remain a student of many things. Actualizing this, he founded the 1924us studio, a workshop devoted tothoughtful design and the preservation of simpler virtues, talents and fadingskillsets. In 2023, while residing in Tasmania with his wife Elle-May and theirtwo children, he sketched the first likeness of Mr Skelly, a small figure that, tohis surprise, came to hold meaning for millions. Christian writes as he works: with plain earnestness, an eye for the unseen and a belief that even the quietestlife is extraordinary.

His work, as well as his studio, can be found at www.1924.us
