Description
I was again at Baltimore Comic Con (9/23) and Don Rosa kindly continued my art project there :-)
By drawing Scrooge's "Currency Market View" portraits, how old miser is thinking about our fiat currencies. Well, needing to say that Scrooge is following currencies very carefully, of course ;-)
This art project started already in 2018 when I was thinking about a "holy triptych" from USD, EUR & JPY, but then extended it a bit idea when visited again in BCCs.

As said, and illustrated now here, Scrooge's emotions are in line with market expectations: when having Brazilian Reals in your portfolio, well, things are getting very complicated. You need in-depth analysis and needing to localise to get an idea of what could be expected, and still, all guesses can go wrong. Just look at the historical USD/BRL exchange curve; the Real is not always sinking like many other weak currencies, so how to make market entry and exit? Scrooge is trying to localize of course, now wearing a traditional Brazilian cowboy hat, but he knows how difficult it all is, so can't be too happy...

This drawing is done on A3 size paper (30 x 42 cm, 11.7 x 16.5 inches), so it is about twice the size of what normal convention sketches are done (typically in comic book backboards). Liquid gold marker is for sure the best one for this kind of artwork.

Pretty fun that Scrooge's expression is based on the money he's about to lose on some currencies around the world.
