Alt Pick, ArtJam





The Alternative Pick's Juliette Wolf Robin made a welcome appearance in Seattle this week, to represent Alt Pick at ArtJam 7, the Premiere Northwest Illustrators and Photographers Show





Juliette was escorted in style, in Michael
Dougan's luxury Toyota Tacoma pickup truck,
from her customary room at Seattle's historic
Edgewater Hotel...

...to Wasabi Bistro, a trendy
fusion restaurant in Seattle's
ultra-groovy Belltown
neighborhood.




Juliette displaying her unique talent for disassembling
sushi while listening to her dining companion's
hyper-caffeinated philosophical thrill-ride through
the past, present, and future of illustration,
design, and photography

Among the topics discussed:

The Dotcom Boom what was that all about? Who were the winners? Who were the losers? Where did all the money go?

Stock Art & Photography an exciting new trend, changing the dynamics of our industry for the benefit of all humankind? Or Satan's workshop, where copyright-free images will multiply and doom us all to eternal damnation? (we only had about an hour for lunch, we didn't make it through all the stages of purgatory, we barely scratched the surface before the dessert menu arrrived)

What celebrities we think we look like Juliette's European heritage puts her in this category, but her TV-pop-star-girl-next-door appeal has gotten her mistaken for this actress. No stranger to delusional thinking, I, on the other hand, have placed myself in the category of this fine actor. I probably should have chosen this one, which would have put us in the same prime-time sitcom.

Alt Pick Magazine Maria and Juliette's exciting new venture: a unique mix of personal profiles, controversial issues, great stories, and artistic talent (more info here)

There was one more photo, a duet snapshot, graciously taken by a Valet dude in the parking lot of the Edgewater at the conclusion of our visit, but my cell phone ate it before I could include it in this blog entry. We hope Juliette enjoyed her stay in Seattle, and continues the mission
