Scribbles Scribbles
Koala trouble caught the immediate attention of the global Internet community and launched young Alex into the
world of commerce in April 1996 with the launch of his business, 
Scribbles.
By the end of March 1997, just over a year after the launch of his Koala trouble web site, nearly 150,000 Internet surfers had visited the Koala trouble web site and poured praise on Alex for his clear, artisitic images and interactive stories that reached across the Internet's traditional age barrier.
He had been interviewed on television on the Channel 9, Extra Program; been reported in the Computer pages of The Australian newspaper (February 6th 1996); the Sunday Mail (January 7th 1996); the Courier Mail (January 30th 1996) and the Queensland Times (March 21st 1996).
The national monthly Computer Living magazine took up the story of Koala trouble in their April edition calling Alex a "cyber celebrity". Indeed young Alex had become just that with email being sent to him from all over the world.
Many of Koala trouble's fans of all ages wanted to get copies of Alex's pictures.
It was decided to launch Scribbles a global enterprise owned and inspired by a 5 year old boy, Alex.
The first product to be launched by Alex is a t-shirt featuring one of his Koala trouble images out of his first story
Max and his mummy.
The launch of Scribbles took place on Friday the 19th April 1996 at the
Barry Jones Auditorium in the Global Info Links building, home of the City of
Ipswich's, both traditional and electronic, library.
The launch will be attended by Cr John Nugent, the Mayor of Ipswich; Cr Paul Pisasale (Chairman of the Global Info-Links project); Ms Deborah Tabart (Executive Director of the Australian Koala Foundation) and many of Alex's 5 year old friends.
It is expected that the media both television and print will attend the launch as the Mayor of Ipswich and other dignatories proudly wear the first cyber-inspired product of this local business.
