Squishface Studio

Here’s some of the exciting stuff from the Exhibitchin’! opening that WASN’T our art!

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!

Some bitchin’ art in progress….

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.

Check out other amusing clips over at the Squishface YouTube channel.

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.

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!

Howdy!  Marta here!  Tonight was the Brunswick Street Gallery opening night for the Small Works exhibition.  I entered 5 watercolour fish bone pieces to the exhibition.  It’s my berry series: Strawberry, Blueberry, Gooseberry, Blackberry and Raspberry.  I’m selling the original watercolours this time.  Wheee!!!  I am thinking of having a solo exhibition at some point…

One of the things we’re doing in Gippsland in July is THIS exhibition at the Cowwarr Art Space!

The opening is on Sunday 8th July at 2pm. We’ll be there, because we’re doing a big fun two day comics jam event over that weekend — also at Cowwarr Art Space. Anyone ‘round Gippsland who wants to hang out and draw with the Squishfacers should get themselves there!

Thanks to Matt Emery, who reminded me we needed to post this up!

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.

Marta’s not allowed to eat this stuff any more because she’s keeping fit. So, instead, she’s making a zine about it…

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!
