‘Snonan the Brave’ premieres at the Image Comic Expo today in Oakland Feb 24,2012
I am pleased as punch to finish my new comic book ‘Snonan the Brave,’ the story of a warrior snowman and a quest that will make his face his greatest fear! Featuring lose ink drawings and wordless dialog for all-ages. For years I had this idea of a story combining a Snowman + ‘Conan the Barbarian’ and thought it would be perfect for a winter themed tale. It was a lot of fun for me to create, giving me a chance to experiment with different techniques and tools.
I will be updating more infomation on my new comic later this weekend (time permitting)
I will have copies of the book for sale at the Image Comic Expo this weekend starting today Friday Feb 24 and running though Sunday Feb 26. I am at table Artist Alley 607 (see animated map below). Find out more at: Image Comic Expo

As I get closer to revealing my new comic book (which will be for sale at the Image Comic Expo Feb 24-26, 2012) I will be revealing more Work-in-Progress for the project. For today’s post are some samples of S’ for the comic’s logo. These are just my top choices after drawing pages and page of the same letter. I will be showing the final logo very soon.
Which ‘S’ will be the choice, or will it be none of them?

Cartooning into the new year 2010
On new years eve I joined a bunch of artist to draw into the New Year. My cohorts were T, Nick Paz, Jeff Plotkin and Jeff Walker.
We meet at Japan Town Center in San Francisco for dinner at Mifune (http://mifune.com/) for noodles then after walking around the mall we headed to Johnny Rockets on nearby Filmore St. where we drew until 11:30, eating fries and drinking shakes. Then we headed down town and into the new year.
A great way to start 2011.
Overheard at Johnny Rockets: (a drunk regular was talking with the staff near 11:30 and one of the waiters told him to “talk with your inside voice” like a school kid. LOL
