Solomon is the creator of the comic Rabbit and Bear Paws, which follows the story of two mischievous Ojibwa brothers in 18th century North America.  In 2005, he started Little Spirit Bear Productions, a First Nations Multi-Media company created to share the humorous adventures of Rabbit and Bear Paws.  Solomon is the grandson of Native Traditional Healer and Justice Activist Art Solomon.
