Chris Gall has drawn pictures for as long as he can remember. After graduating from the University of Arizona, Chris became an award-winning, internationally recognized illustrator, and his artwork has been shown in almost every publication in America, including Time, Newsweek, People, Fortune, The New York Times and The Washington Post. Chris published his first picture book, America the Beautiful, in 2004. Since then he has authored and/or illustrated 13 more books, including Dinotrux, Revenge of the Dinotrux, Awesome Dawson, Substitute Creacher, Dear Fish and There’s Nothing to Do on Mars. In August of 2015, after 5 years of development, Dreamworks Animation brought Dinotrux to Netflix as an animated television show for children.
