Here is one:
Quote:
Self-buttering bread, flying pie, clamshells, bricklayers, red dogs, gavels and automobiles are just a few items featured in Dan DeRoux's surrealistic painting titled "Joseph Sells His Dreams." DeRoux called the work autobiographical, with almost every square inch of the canvas full of iconic imagery representative of his nearly 40 years as an artist.

The 49-year-old Meierotto is the quintessential Alaska Bush trapper, Zarnke said, both in terms of attitude, appearance and application. Things that most people perceive as hardships, such as living in tiny cabins without electricity in the middle of the Alaska wilderness at 40 and 50 below, are things Meierotto relishes.

“He’s doing what he loves and is willing to extend the extra effort to do it,” Zarnke said. “The physical challenge of trapping in a remote location like that is something he looks forward to and is something most other people would run away from.”

A smoke jumper for the Alaska Fire Service in the summer, Meierotto spends his winters trapping on the Black River 200 miles north of Fairbanks. He commutes back and forth to town in his 1937 Supercub. He used to spend the whole winter living on the trapline, but that was before 3-year-old daughter Noah Jane came along. These days, he spends a week or two at a time on the trapline before coming back for a day or two.

The area in which he traps is some of the most remote country in Alaska.
