http://richardjessewatsontnbc.blogspot.com/2011/06/santa-claus-is-coming-to-town.html
Sunday, June 5, 2011. Santa Claus is Coming to Town. When I was a young boy, I believed in Santa Claus. I had proof after all that he existed. Every Christmas under the tree I found presents with the label, "To Richard, from Santa". Yes, it was in my dad's handwriting. But we all have to help Santa, I reasoned. He is incredibly busy as we all know. So my doubts were self assuaged. When my editor at Haper Collins asked me if I wanted to illustrate Clement Moore's poem, The Night Before Christmas,. 169; Ri...

Saturday, December 10, 2011. Q&A- Author, George Shannon, interviews RJW. George Shannon – Children's Author. Essays * Reviews * Critique Services. December 10, 2011. Illustrators: Responding to the Text. After 100 posts about picture books, I’m yearning to add other voices. I’ve begun to invite illustrators to answer a few questions about how they respond, relate to, and expand a text they didn’t write themselves. In other words, how do illustrators respond to our manuscripts. What was the question?

Monday, June 6, 2011. Q&A: ALL THE WAY TO SAN JOSE IN SANTA'S SLEIGH. The following interview was first published in my version of Clement Moore's poem, The Night Before Christmas. Published by Harper Collins 2006 (a New York Times Bestseller, dontcha-know). Let me say, first of all what an honor it is to finally meet you. You know, Richard, I have seen you on many occasions, but you were always asleep. Except for that one time –––. Oh, my gosh! I beg your pardon? Tell me about your reindeer. That's true...

Q & A with Richard Jesse Watson: Q&A: Abe and Rich
http://richardjessewatsonqanda.blogspot.com/2010/08/q-abe-and-rich.html
Monday, August 9, 2010. Q&A: Abe and Rich. A short interview between Abe Lincoln and Richard. Good morning Richard. I realize it is later there, but wanted to catch you while it was early. Now that's an oxymoronic thing to say. We don't use that word much in the eighteen hundreds. But speaking of mysteries, I wanted to ask you how you decide what to write or paint about. Do you use the same method for your illustrations? A marriage of text and art? Weren't they after your time? Bring your inner tube.
