Jasper is a play dog in every sense of the word(s). He's suave with movie star good looks and he just loves to play. At 10 years old and weighing in at 50 pounds (23kg), his turnons include chasing, tugging and catching. His biggest turnoff is human talk during play time.
The other day I saw Jasper looking at me lit only by the light coming through my office window and I thought it might make a nice portrait. Tada!

Locke, Ca.
The delta swampland on which Locke was built on was home to Native American Miwok and Maidu tribes for hundreds of years. Tribal burial grounds exist on the Locke parcel.
Legislation such as the Swampland Reclamation Act of 1861 was enacted in California to put perceived empty and wasted lands to use and stabilization.[5] Much of this involved draining the Delta wetlands and building levees to regulate flood control in places like Locke.[5] Mainly poor Chinese immigrants were hired to do this backbreaking reclamation work.[6] Contracted labor was often paid the equivalent of less than one dollar a day per worker. They built hundreds of miles of levees in waist deep water where malaria still rampaged, reclaiming a total 88,000 acres (36,000 ha).[6]
In 1912, three Chinese merchants, two from the nearby town of Vorden and one from Walnut Grove, contracted tradesmen to construct three buildings. Chan Tin Sin built the first building. It was a combination dry goods store and beer saloon. Yuen Lai Sing built a gambling hall. Owyang Wing Cheong built the Lockeport Hotel & Restaurant.[7][8]
Following that early construction the Canton Hotel was built, along with several other buildings. A total of seven structures eventually formed the hamlet of Lockeport. Though some merchants hoped to provide a destination for riverboat and train passengers, the idea never worked due to the discrimination against Chinese during those times.[9] One of the homes built in the first phase of construction provided shelter for Chan Tin Sin's cousin Chan Chor Get and his family from the discriminatory acts and violence in San Francisco Chinatown.[10]
On October 7, 1915,[11] the Chinatown of nearby Walnut Grove was destroyed by an accidental fire. Afterwards, the Main Street section of Locke was established and settled by a group of Chinese immigrants[12] from what is now modern day Zhongshan in southern China's Guangdong province, headed by Lee Bing, a Chinese American businessman. Whereas Taishanese-speaking Chinese settlers remained in Walnut Grove after the fire to rebuild, the Cantonese-speaking Zhongshan Chinese settlers migrated to Locke to create a town of their own. The land was leased from George Locke as California law at the time forbade the selling of farmland to Asian immigrants by the California Alien Land Law of 1913.[4]
Due to its relatively large Chinese population at the time, the Chinese Kuomintang political party once had a local chapter in Locke. As the town grew, so did its reputation as a destination for illicit entertainment, gaining the nickname "California's Monte Carlo". At one point, it had five gambling halls, five brothels, speakeasies and opium dens.[13]
The population of Locke swelled with the growing season and harvest. Most of the reclaimed land in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta including Locke was used for cash crops, including asparagus, potato, sweet potatoes, white beans, pears, and apples.[6] There would be as many as 1000 to 1500 Chinese people living in Locke. Farmhands shared rooms in the boarding houses. Chinese residents living in the homes behind Main Street also took in Chinese farm laborers. Chinese immigrants in Locke started patterns in California agriculture that are continued today in the Sacramento-San Joaquin region, including contracted labor, tenant farming, sharecropping, and the piece wage system.[6] A community garden existed in the back and there was a special oven to make roast pigs on Sundays. Chinese communities congregated in solidarity under difficult labor and social conditions fostered by legislation such as the Chinese Exclusion Act, creating community gardens that maintained cultural relevancy in the form of growing Chinese cabbage, snow peas, leafy vegetables, winter melon, and tomatoes.[6] Baptist missionary Dr. Charles Shepherd would bring in his Chungmei home boys for the pear harvest at the end of July. Life in Locke had a great deal of accord. The Chinese mothers took care of each other's children when another mother had to go to work at the cannery across the River Road next to the riverboat docks of the Sacramento River.[9]
During the 1940s and 1950s, many of Locke's Chinese Americans, many of whom received better education, began joining the American mainstream by moving out of rural Locke and into the burgeoning suburbs of the major cities.[14]
The Locke Historic District is bounded on the west by the Sacramento River, on the north by Locke Rd., on the east by Alley St., and on the south by Levee St. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 6, 1971.[1]
A Hong Kong-based developer purchased the town in 1977 from the Locke Heirs and sold it in 2002 to the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency.[15] In 2004, the agency finally allowed the sale of land to those who had been living on it for many years. There were plans to convert Locke into a housing development and tourist attraction. At the north end of Main Street, the restored Locke Boarding House museum (now owned by California State Parks) operates daily, staffed by volunteers. The Town of Locke celebrated its centennial anniversary in 2015, with a large gathering on May 9.
On July 3, 2016, a fire erupted on the second floor of the Locke Country Store on Main Street, which contained two apartments. The fire resulted in the complete destruction of the second floor of the building and a building behind the store. There were no injuries.[16]
The Locke Historic District was designated a National Historic Landmark on December 14, 1990.[2][17]

2/6/17: Just arrived is a 28.25" x 16.5" poster that's the ONLY KNOWN COMPLETE COLOR COPY of this image in ANY size. It came from the estate of a 7Up executive. Two other posters in the same size and kind of frames were acquired from the same source and they are both definitely printer's proofs. Unfortunately, this poster was trimmed to just the central image but it's highly likely that the printer's proof markings were removed 48 years ago before being framed and matted.
I also own 4 of the 12 left side panels that make up a partial 21'x10' billboard of this image.

The only other instance of this image is a B&W thumbnail image from a small American Contemporary Graphics Booklet produced in late 1970 or early 1971 for a traveling exhibition.

This was the 5th 21'x10' billboard design issued in 1969 to introduce the hugely successful "The UnCola" ad campaign to America. The rainlap diagram on the back of the top left panel A1 lists this as [Design] DES 69-5, C-2692. Pat Dypold illustrated the bulk of the 53+ 7Up UnCola billboard images issued between 1969 and the mid-1970's. Her signature is in the bottom right, next to the rim of the glass. At least 1 copy each of roughly half of those original billboards have been gathered into my collection and saved from destruction or the trash heap, usually one at a time.

The first 5 of 53 billboards were:
DES 69-1, C-2589, "# Un In The Sun" Pat Dypold (bikini girl)
DES 69-2, C-2587, "Butterfly & Bottle", Pat Dypold
DES 69-3, C-2588, "Un & Un Is Too", Kim Whitesides (guitars)
DES 69-4, C-2691, "Visit Un-Derland", Kim Whitesides (dancer)
DES 69-5, C-2692, "Turn Un", Pat Dypold, (melting face)
It was 1969 and 7Up wanted to appeal to the youth market. What else can I say... The UnCola adaptation of the popular phrase at the time "Turn On" did NOT refer to flipping light switches on during that era. Look it up if you need further explanation. The original phrase at the time was "Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out" by psychedelic LSD guru Timothy Leary.

I think there might have been something else mixed in with the liquid in the glass. Just imagine seeing this giant billboard actually looming over your local schoolyard back then. No advertiser would even consider doing anything so absolutely BOLD today.

"Turn-On" was also the name of an ill-fated TV series that was almost pulled before the end of the first (and only) episode finished airing on 2/5/69.

Contact me if you have a serious interest in acquiring any of my dozen or so duplicate billboards. I'm also interested in trades that will complete my collection.
Will also consider a legitimate gallery showings if you have a space large enough to hold over 2 dozen billboards at 21'x10' each.
My prices would be FAR more reasonable and come with in-depth accurate research compared to my $15,000 (linen backed) & $12,500 competition:

Here's a Duke University archive photo of another early 1970's 7Up billboard in Phoenix using a tamer version of "Turn Un":
This is BHS, British Home Stores in Leicester. On 28th August 2016 the last BHS closed it doors for the last time. However it is now 5th April 2017 and every day in this shop all lights still turn on! Some have failed but most still work. The CCTV is still working as I'm in the photo on the old CRT TV 😄
This is an older 365, but we've been slowly working on it (or should I say Thad has been); it had to be tweaked.

11/12/15: MG quoted in a recent interview: “Don’t force people to do things they don’t want or encourage them to do things that are not good for them.” Glaser has never worked in an advertising agency and he makes no bones about it. “Trying to sell people a bottle of soda is as dangerous as giving them an armed weapon,” he says.

- - - That's all well and good to say once your retirement funds are in the bank, but early in his career, MG illustrated 2 billboard images that helped push bottles and cans of soda on a youthful target market (including me) via the J Walter Thompson [adveristing] Co. Maybe he's forgotten what it's like to be hungry for commissions. His archivist can only find 1 of the 2 images in his vast collection. BTW, I agree wholeheartedly with his opinion and very rarely consume soda any more, but I have 2 copies of this billboard that indicate he didn't always feel that way.
Look for a 9 1/4" die-cast aluminum mini billboard with this extremely rare image on eBay. - - -
3/8/14: TWO-OF-A-KIND. This billboard and its matching twin in my collection represent the only 2 known copies of this image in any size at this time (other than in my small c1971 American Contemporary Graphics booklet - click 1st image in my comment below, or a Simpson Lee paper products promotional booklet from the same time period).

MG created the Bob Dylan album cover in 1967 and the world famous "I [heart] NY" logo in 1977 (among many more). The 2 pair of 7Up UnCola billboard and poster images in my collection fall in between those 2 landmark illustrations during the Push Pin Studios era.
21'x10' newly rediscovered billboard poster by Milton Glaser. The rainlap diagram on the back of top left Panel A1 lists this as Design #71134 (indicates it was image #134 issued in 1971). This billboard is in mint condition and is accompanied by a twin copy that is almost as perfectly preserved as this one. They were both purchased from someone in the outdoor sign (billboard) business that wisely set a pair of these aside decades ago thinking that they were special. The 2nd copy has 2 slight water stains, but they are hardly noticeable due to the dark backgrounds.
To get a sense of the scale - 2 normal sized adults could easily fit inside the can. This is 210 s.f. of Milton Glaser offset lithographic treasure. I can't wait to see it displayed in a giant room for the first time ever! Does anyone have any photos of these posted along the highways back in 1971?

"Well, basically the idea of being 'turned on' by 7Up was buried somewhere in my consciousness, and I transferred that feeling into a visual pun. The word 'can' was my focal point. To make something extraordinary happen out of this particular can seemed like the right attitude to have at the time. Graphically, it's an interphasing of two phenomena - electricity and 7Up".
-Milton Glaser (commenting on his concept for this billboard image)

I've not found any ads offering this to the general public to date, but there are a few others in my collection that are in the same boat. It's highly likely that not all billboard images were offered to the public - only to people "in the trade" or for posting along highways only. Finding any of those "poster offers" is similar to finding a needle in a haystack (and you don't know what county the haystack is in) after more than 4 decades and prior to the invention of the internet and electronic records. If any readers know of poster offers with this image, please contact me.
Collage of (12) panels (2 high x 6 wide) totaling 9'-9" x 21'-1". Each 43" wide x 59" tall thick paper sheet was photographed panel-by-panel on a homemade vacuum table (<$30) and photoshopped together into this color collage of this design to minimize inconsistent lighting and shadows from folds. Some of the billboards in my collection use a silkscreen dot pattern but this one uses solid colors for the most part. That enabled me to better match the colors from panel to panel in Photoshop to compensate for the light meter on the camera being tricked. In reality, all panels have perfect color matches across the seams. This billboard has no thumb tack holes and is in remarkably MINT condition. The paper is also less brittle than others in my collection from the same era. The colors are really this vivid!
To fully appreciate this art form, consider that each of the 12 panels had at least 4 runs through the offset lithograph printing machine back in the 60's & 70's to apply each CMYK color (cyan, magenta, yellow & black). Each panel has multiple registration marks and the initials of the different machine operators when they OK'd the alignment of each color. The different runs & initials might have been by more than one operator since each color was run all at once and later runs with the other colors might have been on a totally different day or a different press, or further down the line on the same multi-color press (feel free to educate me if this is incorrect). Some of the same initials appear on my other billboards produced in different years. If you look closely at my other billboards, you can see part of the "+" shaped registration marks in the completed collage at the panel corners. It was a lot of work to produce just one panel of one billboard. Here's an example from my first billboard (see how many sets of initials you can find):

This is only the 9th 7Up UnCola billboard image to be processed so far out of about 2 dozen different images in my collection to date. Check back later to see more as they get repaired (if necessary), photographed and photo-collaged together. It takes a while to process thousands of square feet of vintage paper that's almost 5 decades old in my limited spare time. I also have a few duplicates of the more popular billboards.
