Wall Street Journal

So, I was pleased as punch to be able to do this recent piece for the Wall Street Journal. Its for a section written by Steve and Levi Yoder - a father and son team that discuss personal financial issues. In fact, my old pal Mike Byers did a piece for this section some time ago (which can be seen here ). Anyway, MY article was in response to the sunday letters they receive. Lots of roughs, but i really liked the idea of them responding to the specific dates the letters came in- thus a calendar, and its a well known fact that calendars look like shelves in a mailroom - so that worked nicely for the metaphor. Finally, let me just say that I started the piece around 6pm that night before it was due (noon the next day) - so a nice fast turn around meant the paint barely had time to dry (not really, its acrylic - so dries pretty fast.) ok, im done. thanks for reading.
