Steve Gritton

Steve Gritton has always wanted to be a cartoonist. He began drawing birthday cards for his friends when he was thirteen and later created two comic strips for his college newspaper—"The Moth Man" and "Cracker Cats." He enjoys drawing and painting on his computer because it allows him to try new colors and textures, like the effect of metal in this book. Steve also found he was good at working with kids, and now he teaches fourth grade. He lives near Seattle with his wife and two children.
