Outback Antics, behind the
scenes!
Outback Antics was
created by Jim Moll. Jim is aged 38, and grew up on a
sheep property near Derrinallum, Western Victoria. He
completed Agricultural Science at the University of
Melbourne in 1989. He is an Agricultural
Scientist/Economist by trade, and paints and draws as a
hobby. Jim gets his inspiration from his up-bringing on
the land, and his regular outback travelling.
Outback Antics began in
about 1992, as an annual range of Christmas cards Jim sketched up each year,
to give to friends. As their popularity grew, the photocopier was no longer
able to handle the volume, and the cards have been professionally printed
for the last few years and sold throughout Australia and overseas.
- Jim and his wife Lencia have moved from Mt
Isa to Benalla, and enjoy spending their spare time doing things like,
camping, biking, dirt-biking, canoeing, socialising, 4wdriving,
and other outback adventures! Jim has worked in Agricultural research and
consulting for many years, while Lencia has worked as an outback nurse in rural
and remote communities and also with the RFDS, and is now an educator.
They now have kids--Charles & Olivia who use up any spare time very well.

Jim enjoys sketching &
painting fast moving subjects using watercolour, and also enjoys doing
cartoons and skits depicting the real Australian way of life.
