“Bret Braddock” drafting
I spoke on a panel at the Emerging Writers Festival last week and gave a little presentation on how I draft an episode of The Bret Braddock Adventures (a weekly webcomic about a lousy workplace you should really be reading).
They let me put up some images of the stages in doing one of these comics. [...]
Transmedia Vic Conference Day
What’s transmedia storytelling? It’s what we used to call “multiplatform”, or “cross media”.
Essentially, I think it just means “stories told across more than one platform”. Like a TV show that does little online videos that fill in a bit of backstory. Or those nifty games I’ve talked about before that were staged online and in [...]
Get An Animated Christmas Card From Nakedfella Productions For $500
It’s the end of the year, which can be a slow period for freelance animators like me. So I thought I’d offer to make your company’s animated Christmas card for only $500.
I like making funny cartoons cheaply. Would you like one, made just for you, to send to customers/clients, wishing them a happy holiday season? [...]

All plans and no followthrough makes David edgy
I spent 2009 planning and scheming and writing and talking and thinking. Lots of thinking!
This was all good stuff to do, in addition to the freelance work I had. But I did very little MAKING of STUFF!
I made a zine of some of my old articles and prose writing and took it to the National [...]
P.J. Hogan on being told how to write by dipshits
I love this little article from the Australian Writer’s Guild magazine.
It’s by P.J. Hogan, director of Muriel’s Wedding. The stuff about Lift-Off feels familiar.

Lately I’d been thinking about all the work I’ve been doing toward getting The Precinct happening. It’s kept me very busy, but probably not as busy as I would be if were making the show itself. So I probably need to get used to this level of activity!
I’ve been wondering what kind of director I’d [...]
No, really, I’m a writer
My day job at the moment is animating on the second series of Dogstar!
The same trailer, in Japanese:
I worked on the original series a few years back. As Australian kids TV goes, it’s pretty shit-hot (this means “good”). So Michael V (my deskmate) and I would amuse ourselves by coming up with ideas for exciting [...]
Production begins on The Precinct, episode 00b: “Playing To Win”
YES! So, as I mentioned previously, I’m starting up a new Precinct short animation, the goals of which are:
to give viewers a bit more of the story we’re dealing with in the series
to reveal a bit more about Det. Ackersley’s personality
to show lots more ACTION and fast cutting
to shamelessly wallow in my John Farnham love [...]
Uncle Eddie makes me think, Precinct art for sale
This blog post by animation artist Eddie Fitzgerald made me think!
Also, I uploaded some Precinct art I did for an exhibition last year to RedBubble so they can be purchased as little greeting cards and nice art prints:
I’ve bought a couple things myself so I can see what the quality’s like. I’ll let you know. [...]
