"Locked Out"

Financial Post:March 27th 2010

It's almost April! Were soon marching off away from March...haha hilarious..achem, tough crowd.

This weeks Financial Post Investing Illustration: Many investors trying to break into the Chinese Market will find it immensely difficult. Especially on the road ahead.There are many obstacles that plague China, such as it's dispute with the U.S over currency policy Which could lead into a trade war. The way things are run in China their government has literally locked themselves up.

I did the line work this time with pencil, I really liked the loose feel it gives. I'm trying out more work like this, let me know what you guys think!

In other news, I went Snowboarding for the first time yesterday! Needless to say ego's and muscle tissue were definitely bruised. But I had a great time and I can't wait to go again!Here is a nice picture to sum up the day. I took a huge spill in a run called Happy Valley, I'm sure theres a metaphor in there somewhere.

200th POST!!!: Tech Growth

"The Tech Regrowth"

Financial Post:March 20th 2010

Ahh yes, I have reached the 200 blog post mark!!..another sign that I am really keeping this blog moving or that I have no life. Or could it be both??

This weeks investing feature for The Financial Post is about the Tech Market. During the recession the Tech Sector was the hardest hit. But lately the Tech market finds itself blooming and growing strong again. I really had fun doing this piece and the final took about a couple of hours to complete. Thanks of course to The Sour Patch kids, for both giving me that sugar rush to finish the illustration, and destroying my tooth enamel at the same time.

Also If you haven't checked out Gorillaz new album "Plastic Beach" please do. So many reasons to say why its great but I think you should find out for yourself! It's one of those rare albums I can listen to straight through without skipping any songs.

And I know I said Spring is upon us, but this weekends weather here in Toronto has been freezing. I am soooo confused.

Nom Nom Nom

"Eating Up The Competition"

Financial Post:March 6th 2010

Hiiiiiiiiideeey Hooooooo, this is last Saturdays Illustration for the Post. With Profits Likely to Increase in Japan. Investors should buy into Japan while it is cheap. Eventually the Japanese will rise and eat up the rest of the competition. After I finished this I was craving all you can eat Sushi so obviously I went and destroyed my stomach with delicious White Tuna and Edamame. TIP: At All you can eat Sushi places, never get anything with rice. It fills you up way too fast. Also! always get Sashimi instead of Sushi. Unless you like that, then i'll just shut up.

In other super amazing news, I just got back from the Muse concert at the ACC in Toronto tonight!!! What a show!!! Unless you don't like them, then i'll just shut up.

SPRING'S BOSOM IS UPON US!! HURRAY
