I’m very pleased to announce that we’ve added somebody new to the lineup at Squishface: Jo Waite!
She’s in Sacha’s spot while Sacha tours round the USA, but we reckon she’s going to stick around after that too.
It’s pretty exciting that Jo’s working at Squishface because she’s another full-time art pro, and will keep Benno company when the rest of us are toiling at our day jobs or studying.
No idea how she’ll react when David plays his Journey CDs. We wait and wonder.
Check it out, David’s dad ran across an OPEN CARTOONING STUDIO in upper Victoria! Definitely gonna visit next time we roadtrip to Sydney (or Yackandandah)!
When we were at MoCCA Fest David and I had the pleasure of meeting Ole Comoll, who is part of a comics studio called Gimle in Copenhagen that has been around since 1970 and has about 25 members. Apparently this isn’t the only comics studio in Copenhagen!

Most of the Caravaners are home, so we’re having a little get-together over at Squishface this Sunday 20 May, from 2pm. Drop by and say hi and we’ll tell you all about our trip and show you 3D photos and go on about how sophisticated we are now we’ve been to Williamsburg.
Well, well. I wonder which Caravaner made THIS.

Hey, guess what? Ben, Sarah and David are back from the Caravan of Comics! No more insane French toast for us.
If you aren’t checking it out already, see the Caravan’s Facebook page for photos and stuff from the trip.
And prepare for intriguing new events and soap-opera-style shakeups at Squishface!
David here. As part of Caravan of Comics, which we are still on, we’re sending postcards back to the wonderful people at home with stuff we drew on them. Here’s a couple with drawings by me, Benno, Andrew Fulton and Pat Grant on there!
Ive Sorocuk here! I’m studio-sitting in Squishface while the Caravan of Comics is happening.
I’m working on a bunch of monsters for an upcoming exhibition at the Counihan Gallery (right down the road from Squishface) opening on the 24th of May. Details here.
These are just the preparation doodles of course. The full page ones are neat and pretty, I promise.
Some pics from the third (?) Squishface drawing night. There was a bunch of people, barbecue shapes and Oreos.
Ive did sigh a lot while drawing monsters and Jo drew some fancy comics on my old animation desk. I drew a Tank Girl and Andrew Fulton with no pants on.

Marta here! Something I drew up at the studio last night. And it’s not a fish! Using copic pens. I still post on my blog everyday so check it out! Also, I’m going to be changing my studio wall display too. Moving the fish out shortly so if you want one, come pass the studio!
