Chris Butler is one of our proudest discoveries. We found him as a teenage doodler while doing a show in L.A. a few 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 is advancing rapidly. He recently wowed the "old hands" at the Space Art workshop held in Arches National Park, with humble displays of his painting talent.
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.
