Scouting The Patch

"Scouting The Patch"

Financial Post: February 20th 2010

This week feature is about the Energy Patch (Oil and Gas) after earnings over the past few weeks they were all over the map but the general theme is that you'll earn and get rewarded by buying oil over gas. The turnaround was similar to last weeks (half a day), and glad I was able to get more done than before.

Follow The Money

"Follow The Money"
Financial Post: February 12th 2010

This week was a very fast turnaround illustration for the Post. I've been pretty accustomed to the one day turn around, but the "couple hours" turnaround was a new thing for me. This illustration was about following the money to find companies to benefit from. I actually got the email while I was driving, and was pretty nervous at first to take it. I'm really glad I did though, and for the record "I wasn't driving and using my cell phone *wink wink". I liked the idea of money having a rhythm like footprints that someone is following, so I went with that.

I think it's important to figure out what can or can't be done in a limited time. Sometimes though short deadlines are in a way, a positive thing. Like Christoph Niemann said "Short deadlines make you think straight" (source).

AND! lets not forget...Congrats to Canada on their very first Gold on home soil!!!

Picking The Pearl Of Stocks

"Picking The Pearl of Stocks"
Financial Post: January 30th 2010

This weeks Financial Post illustration is another underwater piece. It's funny how I had fun doing these underwater illustrations, yet I can't swim...and I hate underwater, wait thats more sad then funny. The illustration was actually a rough idea I had for last week, but the editors wanted me to use the idea for this week. I really liked the image so I was happy to do it.

Picking The Pearl of Stocks: This weeks article has Jonathan Ratner picking the top 6 stocks in the market. As the market enters a "Stock Pickers" market.
