A lot of Wayne’s technical skills come from the opportunity to and necessity to producing his comics in a technologically savvy society. At first, simply learning how to scan and do some minor manipulation to his comics was good enough. In his pursuit to realize his full potential as a cartoonist in the 21st century, Wayne has learned and acquired skills in 3D modeling, animation, sound production, web design, book production, teaching, and business.

Since the content and story of the group thesis project are based on the comic “Fuz," Wayne is the project's source of art and design. His experience in multimedia production and deep interest in the project allow him to be involved in all aspects of the project. Wayne intends to gain more technical and business skills from the project and share all the knowledge that his group member desires.

In the future, Wayne hopes to take comics to a new level through multimedia production and share and promote his interests for art and technology by teaching.
