About the Author

Brett French

Brett French is the Outdoors Editor of The Billings Gazette. A third-generation Montanan, he joined the Gazette staff in 1998. Prior to that he was Outdoors Editor of the Helena Indepenent Record and worked at newspapers in Idaho and Washington.

John Potter

Artist John Potter began his art and illustration career at the age of 10, selling his first illustration to the United Way for use as a fundraising poster.

After receiving his bachelors degree in illustration from Utah State University, John went on to work for The Billings Gazette in 1981, enjoying a long and successful career as the newspaper's sole editorial artist, producing graphics, illustrations and political cartoons - and eventually, a popular illustrated humor column - for nearly 20 years.

John made the jump from illustrator to fine artist in 2001, and now makes his living at the easel, in his pajamas, painting the landscape and wildlife subjects that he loves, in oils. See his work at johnpotterstudio.com

John and his wife divide the year between homes in Vermont and Montana - and he still illustrates The Gazette's "Just For Kids" feature - because it doesn't require him to get out of his pajamas.
