New Precinct cartoon: BE A MAN!

Posted on December 4, 2010 by David

Scene from the Precinct cartoon BE A MAN


Holy shit, I just made a new Precinct toon! Since following the progress of The Precinct was the original point of this blog, I think that’s worth celebrating!

Like with the last one I did for the Sydney Opera House’s GRAPHIC animation contest, I made this new toon for a competition. The Australia Day Council of NSW are running a contest wherein they’d like we, the public, to make short films about what we think Australia is.

I thought I’d tell them a bit about Aussie males, and how we love making things out of other things.

Naturally, it has nothing to do with the fact that, for a year, my “coffee table” was a cardboard box. And that that box has now been downgraded to (and is still in use as) “side table”.



It’s a really great box, though.

You can go RIGHT NOW to the Australia Day Council’s site and watch (and vote for) Be A Man. I’d really appreciate it.

Yay Precinct! Thanks to the animator-heavy cast, who did tremendous voice work, and to Sandra C (for inadvertently helping with BGs) and Kathryn P (for letting me know one of my gags had been done on Top Gear, and supplying an alternative).

David Blumenstein

I’m a service designer, cartoonist and co-founder of Squishface Studio. I’ve done comics for The Guardian, Crikey and Australian MAD. Currently also deputy president of the Australian Cartoonists Association.

I usually write about things that shit me off, from bad bosses (The Bret Braddock Adventures) to pick-up artists (#takedown) to white supremacist trolls (The Internet’s Most Trolled Cartoonist) to predatory cults (Why Los Angeles is Scientology’s perfect city) and nasty tech bros (Octane Render: Cartoonists talk about A.I. art).

I’m working on graphic novels called Sciensatics (about cultists) and Free Money, Please (about wealth and passive income).
