Squishface Studio

Hey, turns out maybe I AM a political cartoonist!

Pure anger is not the best building block for hilarious cartoons.

Here are some concepts for a secret animation project we are collaborating on!

Marta is doing another elaborate fish drawing.  I thought I’d take a snap of the awesome linework before she adds colour!  

I’m offering my upcoming The Bret Braddock Adventures Vol. 2 book for preorder (along with Vol. 1 if you don’t have it already). The goal is to raise the cash needed to print the books, and after one day, we’re halfway there!

If you think you might like to own the collected adventures of Australia’s worst entrepreneur since [REDACTED FOR FEAR OF LEGAL ACTION], go to the preorder site!

Little Deities Exhibition

It’s all about made up deities designed and created by some very talented artists. Squishface residents Sacha Bryning and Marta Tesoro will be participating in the exhibition so come one, come all!  The Exhibition Launch is on March 08 at No Vacancy Gallery , QV Building - 34-40 Jane Bell Lane (enter from Russell St) from 6pm - 9pm.  Click on the title of this post to see the website for more details and cool stuff!

Another ad from Squishface Studio. Seriously, we got to get this on late night community TV.

You can buy things at Squishface! Here are some pictures.

I want a spinner rack for the studio. If anybody knows where we can get one cheap, let us know.

Comic Book Funny: Episode 8: Just The Tip

Did you know that Squishface’s Ben and Dave do a podcast? Well, we do, and here’s the new one, with Arran McKenna and Ive Sorocuk on board!

From the exciting new Squishface Studio in Brunswick, Victoria, it’s episode 8 of Comic Book Funny!

LISTEN. NOW.

This overstuffed couch of an episode is hosted by four whole people: Ben, Dave, Arran McKenna and Ive Sorocuk!

We talk about the comics we’re making at …

I’ve been back working on my graphic novel Mini Mel and Timid Tom.

These scenes are from the climax, in which Mel flees a possum, only to fall down a drain.  Tom attempts to retrieve their egg from the possum, thinking it has eaten her!

 I want it to be a fantastic, nail-biting battle, just as good as the multiple conflicts in the climax of Return of the Jedi, but it’s not that good yet.

How much to get this shown on late night television?

Arran’s dog Norton gets his snooty little face into yet another magazine

We officially opened our comics studio on Australia Day with a big old party, featuring chicken, beer, cookies, art, fun and music! What a great time it was. Hundreds of people were there, spilling out into the street, partying down.

This video will not replace having been there, but you will see a bit of our preparation, Ben making Gocco prints, find out where David gets his drawing materials and there’s a bit of arsecrack if you pause it at just the right time.

Bobby N and Marta have already put up plenty of great photos of the Squishface launch, so here’s just a few more good-os I (David) & Sarah took.

Bobby N's great photos from the Squishface opening
