The Original Butt Sketcher

Krandel Lee Newton, an engineer-turned artist, developed the Original Butt Sketch concept in Dallas' Historic West End in 1987. The sketches became a big hit and Newton and his artists received offers to be flown around the country to make special appearances at colleges, trade shows, conventions, parties and private receptions. To date, over 250,000 people have gotten their backsides drawn.

The artists have sketched the likes of Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Alex Trebek, Leeza Gibbons, John Goodman, Danny Glover and Vanessa Williams. Also sports luminaries Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman, Joe Theismann and Johnny Bench have had their backsides captured. The Original Butt Sketch has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Parade and Maxim magazines. Also seen on TV's America's Funniest People; CNN; World News Tonight; and Headline News.
