Chris Butler |
Chris Butler, 36, is one of our proudest discoveries. We found him as a teenage doodler while doing a show in L.A. some years ago. We encouraged him a little, and a few years later he is doing top-quality work and is our best selling artist of original paintings. He is incredibly prolific, and never seems to repeat himself. His artistic maturity has advanced rapidly. Chris lives in Southern California, where he is a treasured member of the Orange County Astronomers, one of the largest astronomy clubs in the world. He has been a lifelong amateur astronomer, and he has worked for Meade Telescopes as well as Rockwell International. He has also directed a children's museum exploratorium. He is an expert lecturer on astronomical subjects, and has made presentations to Rockwell, the National Space Society, the L-5 Society, and many astronomy clubs. Chris' works have been published in Sky and Telescope and Asimov's Science Fiction magazines, in addition to several publications overseas, where his work is well-known. His works are filling up collections worldwide. This is how it is with a young artist, folks. Some of their best works will emerge when they are young, broke and loose. As he gets older, his painting sizes and prices will rise, and his subjects will become more ambitious. Get em while they're young! The greatest appreciation will come from an artists' earliest works. SEE ALSO:
