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*](http://www.aussievault.com.au/vault/entry/11454/be-a-man?ref=nakedfella.com). 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).
