Button King
Dalton Stevens (born 1930), better known as the Button King, is a hobbyist, outsider artist and musician notable for his unusual button art and related media appearances. Since 1983, Stevens has painstakingly decorated various objects with thousands of colorful buttons. These works include the suits and shoes he wears, the guitar he plays, and a 1983 Chevrolet Chevette.〔 Stevens has also created and operates a roadside museum in Bishopville, South Carolina which houses his art. ==Background==
Dalton Stevens' hobby of sewing buttons onto things began as a reaction to suffering from chronic insomnia for years. "I have insomnia and I would go sometimes four to five days and nights without sleeping," he explains.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Button King of Bishopville, SC )〕 In 1983, his inability to sleep after television broadcasting ended at 2 am led him to discover that sewing buttons helped him pass the time while his wife Sue slept.
