    On May 3rd 2012 Solo Comics will have it's grand opening in Lower Lake, California. I have had the pleasure of doing some promotional images for them, and will be doing more in the near future. You can learn more about Solo Comics at www.solo-comics.com of on facebook at www.facebook.com/solocomicshop .
    Comic books have alwas been a source of inspiration for me artistically, they showed me that people could create wonderful stories with words and pictures, and that I could do the same. I am still a sucker for a really cool comic, and I still do my best every day to create images that people will enjoy.
    The comic industry has changed over the years, matured along with its fans, and together we watch the internet quickly change the industry. I hope that the opening of this store inspires the next generation to read the comics of yesterday and today, and to create their own.
    Tonight, I raise my glass to you, Solo Comics. May your reign be fierce and long!
