Kirk has also been the first-prize recipient for the St. Laurences College Library Collection Literary Competition 2002 and The Children’s Book Council of Australia Awards Foundation/Roman Printing Prize 2002, & in 2005 he completed directorial production on a pennystring-budget mockumentary feature film, lauding the surrealistic theatrics of a make-believe Australian boy-band, entitled "About 8", promoted by Prodany Entertainment.
As of composing this most prescient potted biography, Kirk has finalised publication and distribution release of a full-colour illustrated graphic novelette, the 2007 Aurealis-Award nominee, "A Solution to Economic Depression in Little Tokyo, 1953" available for purchase at various publishing outlets throughout Brisbane and Melbourne, to be reviewed by "Scene" entertainment magazine. As of November (2007) he was nationally shortlisted for an employed freelance journalist position with papertiger Media's "Yen" and "Dazed & Confused" magazines, and in June (2008), he was awarded a journalist internship with Right Angle Publishing. Recently Kirk has commenced hosting a biweekly-serialised, online *noir*-cum-dada comic about world-first Bogan Private Investigator, Furphy Benjamin Dozer, at his up-to-date web journal (<http://fun_with_kites.livejournal.com/>)
Kirk was awarded a Bachelor of Creative Industries (Creative Writing) with Distinction from the Queensland University of Technology, an Honours degree in Professional Writing from Deakin University, and has been invited by various indentured members of both Brisbane and Melbourne tertiary faculties to submit extensive proposals for research assistant and post-graduate degree positions within their campuses. For the past two years he has worked both as an activist for The Wilderness Society and as an English-Language conversation school tutor. Returning from employment within Tokyo, Japan, in late 2007, he has resurfaced in Melbourne and now edits the forthcoming annual English-language / Japanese bi-lingual literary journal, “Red Leaves / 紅葉”. Since his return he has sat on the editorial judging committee for “The Lifted Brow”'s Fake Bookshelf Competition, and further been awarded acceptance as a proofreader for Express Media's “Voiceworks” literary magazine.
His Honours thesis (a combined analytic-theoretic dissertation and accompanying fiction novella) is entitled, "Carnivalesque", and demonstrates the narratological relationship between structure and literary parallax in frame-narrative literature. Kirk looks to consequent publishing options for this novella, come 2009.
His developing canon of writings have been heralded as "absolutely brilliant", and he has been earmarked by one reviewer "to be Australia's Thomas Pynchon."
