Drawing inspired by Thomas Frank

In my day job I work with lots of economists, and I find myself fascinated by economic theory. In an effort to improve my understanding of this bizarre field, I started a study group/book club at work. Our first book is Thomas Frank‘s One Market Under God: Extreme Capitalism, Market Populism, and the End of Economic Democracy. A tough slog, but at page 43 of 375 I am still determined. These are some of the sketches I’ve been doing in the margins…

Jackson and Audrey

I like to take Jackson with me to work when I can. Lately I have been doing some writing for a small non-profit in Gastown. Jackson came with me one day when I was doing some research at their office and we met Audrey, who seemed nice at first…

Here’s another view of Audrey…

And this is Jackson. I’ve had him for two and a half years now, but I still can’t quite draw him right. His face is not so long. He is a papillon, male, tri-colour, 3 years old.
