A lot of people think Jetson is from The Jetsons. As much as I love that show, it's actually not the origin. One of my favorite Shag paintings is "J is for Jetsetter" and for the longest time, I had the picture as my myspace profile picture, and my status was set to "J is for Jetsetter".

At the same time, I was also thinking about coming up with a new nickname that went with all different communites, such as tiki, rockabilly, rave, and so on. Well, a bunch of my friends had caught on to my picture, and had put my name on the phones as Jetsetter Julian.

One day, one of my good friends tried to say it out loud, messed up and Jetson came out of her mouth. We laughed about it, then I started thinking that I actually liked it. I actually came up with a whole persona, Jetson Orbit, for my new internet handle, but most people just remember Jetson. And, as they say, the rest is history...
