Del Mue began his career as an illustrator for the San Francisco Chronicle in the 1920s.[1] He designed posters for Foster & Kleiser until 1941,[3] when he established his studio in Forest Knolls, Marin County and he joined the Society of Marin Artists.[1][2] He painted murals at Tamalpais High School, the College of Marin, and the officers' lounge of the Hamilton Army Airfield.[1][2]

Del Mue died on January 24, 1955 in Forest Knolls, at age 79.[1][2] One of his paintings is at the Worcester Art Museum.[4]

gollark: I read somewhere that the environment list thing was near argv in memory, so it finds a common environment variable's location using `getenv`, scans backward until it finds `python3`, then randomly overwrites things.
gollark: Do you like my `argv[0]`-setting code, by the way? I think that's what it has to use to deceive `ps ax`.
gollark: It's not like you can check, except by checking.
gollark: My thing provides different names for each.
gollark: They do in `ps ax` but not `ps -A` or `top`.
