Public Relations and the Freelance Cartoonist...

When President of the Australian Cartoonists' Association (ACA), Steve felt it was important that the cartooning profession maintain a "public face". During that time, he represented the Australian cartooning profession in various ways: judging competitions, opening exhibitions and making a wide range of media appearances in radio, print and television. Since then, although the media opportunities don't present themselves as often, he has nevertheless continued to promote cartooning whenever and wherever possible.

May Gibbs

In June-July 1997, Steve and Lindsay Foyle, then President of the ACA, very successfully whipped up public opposition to the re-publishing of the works of May Gibbs with rewritten text (by Anna Fienberg) and new illustrations (by Vicky Kitanov), earning the support of May Gibbs supporters everywhere.
