When I was a kid in Europe, I could only afford to buy cheap comic books that were sometimes printed with only one color or had color registration errors. So now I really like that look and I tried to use it in this week's comic. I also did two slightly different variations for mobile and web so you can compare them. I hope you like it!

Just got back from Wizard World in New Orleans. ICECUBES the book “Noise Is News” was a big hit and we made lots of new fans. I want to thank all of you who stopped by the table, it was great to get a chance to talk with you.
The big news is that ICECUBES the book is now available in several comic book stores across the country!
First I would like to give a big thanks to Bedrock City Comics in Houston for featuring “Noise Is News” in all 4 of their stores! I would also like to thank Graham Crackers Comics in Chicago for carrying the book as well! And in New Orleans, you can buy the book at Crescent City Comics!
This is great news for ICECUBES fans! Support your local comic book shop and go get your new copy of “Noise Is News” at these fine stores! If you would like your store to feature ICECUBES the book, you can shoot me an email at icecubescomic@yahoo.com. For those of you who would prefer to order online, you should hurry, the few remaining copies of the first print run are going fast!
As some of you may know by now, ICECUBES the comic strip will be featured at Wizard World New Orleans Comicon. I will be signing the new book “Noise Is News” and limited quantities of the numbered artist edition will be available too.

Every now and then I’ll post something just for fun even if it’s kinda random. Here’s a 1947 add for Nash Motors. This is a beautiful example of the ‘streamline’ design style of the 30s and 40s period. A lot of trains, planes and cars had this type of design (even some buildings, ie: Chrysler Building). I think it represents a feeling of optimism, modern comfort, style and the idea of ‘going big’ that unfortunately is so lacking nowadays. Perhaps it might inspire us to dream about the past and imagine better things for the future.Nash Motors on Wikipedia.
