Nate Butler Original Art + Collectibles

[Nate Butler]

Hi, everyone... I'm Nate Butler, a former Muppet artist (info about me may be found here: http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Nate_Butler), and I'm selling off my old Muppet stuff. (My wife passed away last year, and I'm moving after 32 years in the same house/studio!) In my 20+ year art career I also worked on characters such as Archie & Jughead, Popeye, Barbie, Heathcliff, Bugs Bunny, Tiny Toons, Mighty Mouse, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Snuffy Smith, Animated Batman, The Jetsons, the Flintstones, Berenstain Bears, Tom & Jerry, and more.

If anyone is interested, here's a list of some items I'm selling:

* My original drawing board/desk, taboret, and art-o-graph
* Original artwork, preliminary sketches & designs
* Character style guides for Classic & Sesame Street Muppets, Popeye, etc.
* Rare Muppet collectibles (given out to staff & freelancers)
* Comic books, coloring books, & other collectibles containing my art/stories

I also have a number of old Muppet books and pictures that the Henson folks gave me for reference material which do not contain my art.

Please respond to this post, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Thank you! - N.B.

Wow! That is amazing all the stuff you have! Unfortunately, I don't have enough money for any of that

Thanks, Casey... I see you're from New Hampshire. What part of that beautiful state do you live in? I have family in the Portsmouth area.

Hi, Chris- I'm half-moved-in to the new place and half-moved-out of the old, so these items are not with me at the moment. As soon as I go back I'll take pics and post them. Frankly, I'm not sure what to ask for the style guides & collectibles. Is there any sort of price guide for Muppet items, online or otherwise, as there is for old comic books? Thanks, N.B.

 

[Stulz]

Unfortunately there isn't. I'd love to involved with one if they ever get one together.

I live in Southern NH by Manchester.

If Stulz doesn't end up getting the classic Muppets style guide, I hereby officially express my interest in and willingness to buy that.
