I like Steve Butler's art too. As I recall, he broke into comics and did Marvel stuff in the mid and late 1980's, and I've seen some other promotional and historical one-shots he's done on the periphery of comics. Wasn't he the artist on the BADGER series for Comico?
Thanks for the info, I'll take a look at his more recent work. The only conventions you can meet pro's in my area are the Orlando Con, and the Miami-based Florida Supercon. As I said the last time I went (July 2012), the latter one gets a remarkable group of creators for such a relatively small show, Neal Adams, Dennis O'Neil, Kevin Maguire, Bill Sienkiewicz, Roy Thomas, Carmine Infantino, Richard Spurlock, Jose Delbo, and many others. I hope to go again this year.
