John
"Goo-Goo" Binn
John "Goo-Goo"
Binn was born in Webster County GA in September of 1961. He was
raised in a small clapboard house with his parents and 8 siblings.
Despite his families lack of means, Goo-Goo had a happy childhood
and it shows. He always has a smile on his face for anyone who
might happen along.
After
years of working odd jobs for support, the folk art community
is finally starting to recognize his work, which he describes
as "sketch art" because of the sketches he makes before
painting. These sketches are often noticeable in the completed
pieces.
