Squishface Studio

Forgot to post this ages ago! Over at Pikitia Press, Matt asked Aus/NZ comics creators for their wrap of 2012. You can read answers from the following Squishfacers:

And there’s so many more of these. A trove of great remembrances and reading suggestions and more. Check out a helpful index Matt provided.

Ive has won perhaps the most important drawing contest ever with this image of Tom Hanks for the NonCanonical podcast's special "TomCanonical" episode.

Patrick Alexander takes us round the studio to investigate what Sarah, Ive, Marta, Ben and David are working on for the Exhibitchin’! show. Apologies, the clip is unedited and a bit long — but near the end Ive draws a really great portrait of Patrick.

Thank you to Canson for sponsoring the show, which opens Sat 25th August at 2pm. 309 Victoria St, Brunswick!

Ive, Sarah, Ben, David and Marta took a trip to Cowwarr in July to do some drawing at the Cowwarr Art Space. Sarah went up early to run comics workshops with kids, and then we spent a great weekend in town drawing, hanging out and opening our exhibition Squishface & Fraser (a joint exhibition with printmaker Sue Fraser).

We had a fantastic time. If you think you might like to visit the Art Space or maybe even tee yourself up a residency there, go here for more info.

More bitchin’ arts in progress!

EXHIBITCHIN’! is our first “art show” at Squishface. We’re still making the art. Marta wants to serve milkshakes and trifle at the opening and will not be dissuaded.

EXHIBITCHIN’! FB event here.

Howdy all!!!!  As some of you might know, we here at Squishface Studios will be holding our first exhibition on August 25, Saturday, 2 pm onwards.  It will be held at our studio, 309 Victoria Street Brunswick!  Mark the dates on your calendar as it’s going to be a fun… and dare I say it… a totally “bitchin” day!

Now, the theme of our Exhibition is “Bitchin” and however we may interpret that.  Essentially it just means awesomeness!  The pics above just shows a section of the art currently being worked on.  You’ll all have to come pass Squishface Studios on the day to check out the amazing, the devious, the plain shocking and whatever else art, we just happen to come up with!

Canson are also sponsoring our show!  They’ve been great to provide us with papers, mount boards and schminke water colours.  Very cool, very cool indeed!  Please check out their links as they have cool competitions all the time and their prizes are pretty sweet.

Keep coming back here to check up on our progress as we’ll be updating where we are at!

Quick! Jo Waite organised this exhibition in Kew!

It’s on for this weekend only, as far as I can tell. Featuring work by Mandy Ord, Dillon Naylor, Daniel Reed, David Blumenstein, Ben Hutchings, Kirrily Schell, Bernard Caleo, Ive Sorocuk, Leigh Rigozzi, Marta Tesoro, Jase Harper and Neale Blanden.
