Creator and former Director of the Master of Animation course at the University of Technology, Sydney, Michael Hill has loved comics ever since his mother gave him Donald Duck and Dennis The Menace to read as a child. He has a Master's degree in animation and a PhD in comics, prompting his introduction on ABC Radio as “Doctor Comics”. A member of the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Comic Art and the Advisory Committee of the Q-Collection Comic Book Preservation Project, he has lectured on Anime and Manga at the Art Gallery of NSW, Electrofringe, DiGiT Expo, the Japan Foundation and the Powerhouse Museum and been interviewed many times by the media. At UTS he held positions as Director of Animation, Interdisciplinary Studies, Postgraduate Design and Visual Communication. Previously, he was Lecturer in Film and Video at Sydney College of the Arts and made some notable experimental films. His considerable experience of Art and Design education ranges from technology and management to research and he has worked as a consultant to several institutions including providing input into the NSW HSC curriculum study of Anime in Japanese Language and Culture. He is now a regular contributor to The Comics Grid. Having donated his collection of research materials of Australian alternative comics, the Michael Hill Collection of Australian Comics to the National Library of Australia he is now moving further into the artistic domain where he has exhibited at the Silicon Pulp Animation Gallery, DAB LAB Research Gallery, Bunker Cartoon Gallery and in the 2010 and 2011 Bald Archy Prize. He is creating his own comic Blotting Paper: The Recollected Graphical Impressions Of Doctor Comics. |
