1) My involvement in the art scenes is fairly back seated, I've published a few strips in my University magazine, have a few of my works on display in a building somewhere. My contributions are limited, as while illustrations come easy I have difficulty translating it to digital media.

2) My art type is damn near non existent, for one I've heard of only two people in this state who work in the comic book medium and then its with a company in America. Even with Children's books the art falls more to paint work than the pencil and ink. I like how it's possible to compete using my art style in the foreign market, I just wish there was an Australian market for it.

3) I'd like to see programs dealing with the transition from classic illustratrion to the digital medium. From my own experience, it appears the only options for those of a illustrative mind their only options are to bend to painted mediums, or even less interactive art forms, including computer generated art. What I have learnt about my chosen medium, has mostly been through trial and error.
