I first rode Alaska air (2005-ish) on my first of many trips to Seattle and they are awesome. The crew was awesome and they had these digeplayer things that you could rent for 10 bucks. It was basically a hard drive with a display that had a ton of movies and tv shows. This was back in the day and I was really impressed.
Great people + awesome technology = an awesome airline!
Remember, when you knock on the door enough...it will open. Keep Trying!
Current developments:
I'm painting mostly black and white portraits still. I'm doing that and bouncing over to more cartoon inspired imagery...but making sure the paint is really heavy and thick. The painting below is a portrait titled "Indra Vanslow."

Wired Magazine asked Yum Yum to design some characters for a feature on networking. Yum Yum made a set of miniature business people. The various characters were inspired by the film, Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Puppies grow up so fast. This is awesome. A photo a day of Dunder the German shepherd. 8 weeks old to 1 year in 40 seconds. It really does feel like he grew up this quickly. Happy Birthday!

Puppy growing up really really fast for you all to enjoy!
Call me naive, but I didn't know women from the 1950's had asses like that. Well, or at least show them off that way. There's something extremely contemporary about these photos. I guess some things never change. These gals look like they’re having a good time, hanging out in their female short pants – which is the only description life magazine could give me for this set of photos. date unknown… mid-fifties i’m guessing?

At first glance, this happy-go-lucky playhouse could look like any child's dream. But then, the shape reminds us of a mushroom cloud and we're left feeling a little uneasy...
"I make my statement from confusion with what I see around me. I want to make images that help me think around my world, so I can, in the end, know what I see a little better. I hope my work helps people think about our collective fears, our innocence and the decisions we make to be safe. My hope is that we climb above our terror enough to think about the reality and consequences of our actions."
When asked what kind of reaction Playhouse has received, here's what Wegner said. "Unfortunately, at least judging from blog reactions to Playhouse , people just seem to think it is cool fun and cozy and I am not sure internet viewers get farther than that."
"In Playhouse, I combine an atomic bomb’s mushroom cloud, with one of the safest places one can go, their childhood playhouse," artist Dietrich Wegner tells us. "The playhouse is a place of escape, imagination, and comfort. Often we have used bombs to preserve our playhouse, causing us to be stuck in limbo, between comfort and fear. I question how mindful we are of the consequences of our actions. I search for images that articulate the confusion between the intentions, outcomes and ideals of my nation, while focusing on the spaces between beauty, fantasy, and reality.

"Winter Simbo" (ink and marker on paper) 2011
Disco glam rock Fabergé butterfly. Here are some pretty looks from the Spring/Summer collection by Swedish designer, Ida Sjöstedt. I love Ida’s sense of humor and elegance. She pushes the envelop with a wink.
Seriously–if you have the confidence to pull off a glittering, swirling, skin-tight, glam rock catsuit–please just go for it! Amazing.
