I am an artist with no workspace, camped by a sluggish creek and a busy highway in the Queensland heat, where the bush rats, pythons and mosquitoes are relentless
From the article, it doesn’t sound like he’s the sort of guy who would have much of an internet presence. The only service he can probably access is cellular, and out where he’s at might only have Telstra, maybe Optus. He doesn’t have an address, so he likely can’t get a postpaid plan. Aldimobile probably has the best prepaid deal on Telstra’s network, $59/month for 175GB.
But also, I think he might just prefer physical mediums. If that’s the case, he probably has no way to scan them to put on the internet. Remember, the local library won’t let him join without an address. He sketches on A3, a scanner that big would probably be really cumbersome to keep around in a van that small.
All of which seriously sucks. You’re right, his art is really good, and I wish I could buy a print online to support him a bit
