Money for Life - Illustrations for AARP Bulletin

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I have been terrible at keeping up with the blog lately. SO I’m posting two different entries today, one focusing on the article in the title above and a separate post about my entirely different oil painting/fine art. Two posts in one day! Making up for lost time! ANYWAY…..

I created a series of illustrations for the December 2018 edition of the AARP Bulletin. The article by author, Jane Bryant Quinn, is called “Money For Life” which is her simple, easy-to-use formula to make sure you never run out of cash. The article is split up into different case studies with illustrations that I’ll list below. Scroll down to see.

Case Study 2 - Retiree Living On Social Security Benefits

Case Study 3 - City Dwellers Living Well

Case Study 4 - Working Woman Ready to Quit and Have Fun
