Person
Kelly Pulley wanted to be a cowboy when he was little, but he didn't have a horse, so he decided being an artist might be a better idea. While still in High School he landed a job at a large sportswear screen-printing company and it wasn't long before he made my way into the art department where he created artwork for such clients as: Disney, Warner Brothers, PAWS (Garfield), DC Comics, Adidas, and Nike. He drew Beauty and the Beast, Bugs Bunny and Bart Simpson to name just a few. He then went on to work as illustrator for The Beginner's Bible series of books including the best-selling, most recent edition of The Beginner's Bible. He began writing children's stories in 2008 and has since had 7 books published.
