Jim Butler paints large-scale, detailed images of small glass maquettes he makes himself, which he calls "characters". Kate and Clarity visit him in his Queens studio, where he talks about being a young artist in the '70s, glass blowing, photography as a source for painting, and the allure of the otherworldly.
