Leadership 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 …

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 workplaces (The Bret Braddock Adventures) to pick-up artists (#takedown) to white supremacist trolls (The Internet’s Most Trolled Cartoonist).

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.
