Precinct series is go.

Posted on October 15, 2012July 25, 2014 by David

  Hey people. I’ve been blogging about my “upcoming” animated series, The Precinct, for almost six years now! In that time, I’ve learned a lot about the animation industry, and about animation itself. I’m a much better artist and animator than I was in 2006 (see here for evidence). A better writer, too, hopefully. I’ve…

Teasers for two new shows.

Holy what-do-you-know! Some tops people helped me make TWO entries for Movie Extra’s Webfest contest. Prize is $100,000 to make your show, so I figured, “yep”.

Posted on February 17, 2011 by David

Amazing games

While we’ve been working on our cross-platform strategy for The Precinct, I’ve been directed to some fantastic online games from which we’re taking inspiration. Here they are: http://windosill.com/ Windosill is incredible. You must play it, and you must pay $3 for the full version. It has so much style and personality. It’s as close to…

Proof things are moving along

Here’s the current version of my Farnsy-themed animatic! [kml_flashembed movie=”http://www.nakedfella.com/animation/theprecinct/0bPlayingtoWin.swf” width=”512″ height=”288″ allowfullscreen=”true” /] –=0.0.0=– I (and our growing team) just spent a few weeks working on an application to Film Victoria‘s Digital Media Prototyping fund.

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).

Sarah Howell

I regularly collaborate with my wife, Sarah Howell.
