"A Time to Buy, Not Grow"

Financial Post: November 28th 2009

I'M BACK! from Costa Rica!!. The trip was a blast and I'll soon make a post with pictures and sketches on the whole trip. BUT! for now this is last weekends Investing Feature: With the global economy slowly mending itself; companies are finding it easier to make money by buying into companies rather than grow a company. I used the black more as outlines rather than the object itself on this one. Usually I rely on the shape the black creates, but I thought I'd try something different and create more depth.

Rough Version

Here are some pictures from the trip! And the last one from my last visit to Tatooine.

Beach chairs are always on vacation.

I leave for Costa Rica tomorrow! I'm not really done packing nor do I want to keep packing because I hate packing. I don't like the word packing either. SO! instead of that fun stuff I just decided to sketch up something completely random and try some new things. I admit many times I have techniques I wanna try out but never really light the fire under myself to try them out. I'm glad I tried this out before I leave, maybe I'll take it further or even bust out the acrylics?! Who knows...

I had the amazing privilege of being apart of Rogue Magazine's Drawn Together. Featuring 16 Filipino Artists and their works! I'm really excited to see everything in print and really happy to be apart of something like this. I've been a fan of the magazine for awhile so it makes it even cooler to be in it!

Check out the unedited transcripts here. Many Many thanks to Miguel Mari and Cliff Sawit!

I leave for Costa Rica soon!! Here is some appropriate music to listen too.

Last Saturday's Investing Feature for Financial Post: Big Canadian companies such as Shoppers Drug Mart, Tim Hortons and Canadian tire are favored names in the Canadian Market. However the performance compared to some peers in the United states has been underwhelming. Many of the Canadian companies seem to plateau very quickly, while the U.S competitors are still in for the ride.

Investing Feature for last Saturday! Real Estate Investment Trusts or REIT's have rode the recovery smartly. Does this promise new frontiers for REIT's and will they be a solid bet for investors? I did a previous piece about REIT's here. It was tough to figure out a solution because I did an illustration about REIT's from before, and with a very quick turn around within hours; it was tough to find a solution.
