Barry Gott has been drawing his entire life. His first book was illustrated on the backs of paint can labels from his dad's paint factory and dictated to his mom, since he'd only mastered writing the letters A through C. He's been creating children's books, humorous greeting cards, and various other art in his attic studio in Cleveland, Ohio, ever since.
