...Was the last time I posted here..WOW (sorry, couldn't think of a title). I've been posting steadily on my blog and been checking out the lovely work here, but haven't been posting. So, having said that here is a couple of illustrations for the Financial Post  I've done  since January.

Swimming in Risk: Nowadays buying into bonds is very risky, and if investors want safety in this dangerous market. One has to be careful of the many risks swimming around.
Picking The Pearl of Stocks: Picking the top stocks in the market.
Scouting The Patch: The Alberta Energy Patch, after earnings over the past few weeks they were all over the map. However, investors will earn and get rewarded by buying oil over gas.
Eating Up: 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 competition.
The Regrowth of Tech: During the recession the tech market was hit hard and virtually buried. However lately the tech sector finds itself growing strong and blooming.
Im really enjoying getting into flat coloring mixed with more black shape work. Also Zina Saunders recent digital woodcut direction has really opened my eyes on how further you can take digital scratchboard.  Although I admit I have problems with my cut's being "too digital brush like" sometimes. Not sure how to get away from that, I suppose trial and error or make some new brushes?
I've also tried to make my own scratchboard but that failed with hilarious results. I heard there was pre-made scratch board paper, but the Art stores around me don't seem to carry them, am I crazy do they exist???

Anyways, glad I posted keep up the top shelf work everyone!!...or is it top drawer..ok you can all be shelves and drawers.
