Image context.restore();

Im starting to learn canvas and i just hit my first frustrating situation, im trying to make a clipping mask of a .jpg src in a triangle. Everything looks fine until i restore my context and try to add any other Path... my clipping mask appears to not exist anymore.

Here is my code : 

    <script>
function init() {
    var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
    if(canvas.getContext) {

    var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
    var imageObj = new Image();
    imageObj.src = 'stephgopro2.jpg';

    // triangle coordonate
    context.save();
    context.beginPath;
    context.moveTo(100, 0);
    context.lineTo(0, 100);
    context.lineTo(200, 100);
    context.lineTo(100, 0);
    context.clip();

    imageObj.onload = function() {
        context.drawImage(imageObj, 0, 0, 300, 170);
    };

    context.restore();
    context.beginPath();
    context.fillStyle = '#333';
    context.rect(0, 0, 600, 200);
    context.fill();
    }
}
</script>

</head>
<body onload='init()'>
  <canvas id="myCanvas" width="600" height="200"></canvas>

</body>

Can you please help me with that? many thanks.

The image is loaded asynchronously so the context has already been restored before the image is drawn to the canvas. If you update the code as follows you'll get (what I think are) the results you expect: 

function init() {
    var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
        if(canvas.getContext) {

        var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
        var imageObj = new Image();
        imageObj.src = 'assets/1.jpg';

        // triangle coordonate
        context.save();
        context.beginPath();
        context.moveTo(100, 0);
        context.lineTo(0, 100);
        context.lineTo(200, 100);
        context.lineTo(100, 0);
        context.stroke();
        context.clip();

        imageObj.onload = function() {
            context.drawImage(imageObj, 0, 0, 300, 170);

            // Restore the context and continue drawing now the image has been drawn
            context.restore();
            context.beginPath();
            context.fillStyle = '#333';
            context.rect(0, 0, 600, 200);
            context.fill();
        };
    }
}
