Smoke

When author Jark Norse’s mom announced her cancer status, his own mortality reared its ugly head. Quitting smoking became a priority for once in his life. It was rough. He began to explore his cravings and frustration through drawings. Essays followed. And, now, what we have is a book of illustrations and writings exploring the thoughts of someone tossed into a world he doesn’t really want to be a part of. Smoke: Why Smokers Smoke and Why Nonsmokers Talk Too Much will be a 75-page half-letter sized Japanese stab bound book.

Slated for a 2012 release.
