Also any writer-illustrators or writer and illustrator collaborators for one or two comic strip stories? Details and a shortened, not-for-sale sample version of the magazine is on the website www.rmsed.com.au. The aim is to produce a larger, for-sale version, at this stage probably on-line only.

Study VCE Art by Distance Education an option for students
It is most unfortunate that some students give up on their aspirations when they find out that they cannot do VCE Art in their own school. Sometimes there are too few students to make up a class and other times there are timetable clashes. Senior art teachers wanting to advise students of their options can find further information at: http://www.distance.vic.edu.au/subschools/vcesubjectinfo/art/units12.html
