“The Precinct? Next week.”

Posted on May 16, 2009June 18, 2009 by David

The title references my interior monologue when I consider what I should post about. I’ve been putting off talking much about the show because there’s always lots of small developments happening but rarely anything real big and awesome to talk about. You can imagine it’s got to be tougher than ever to get an animated…

Me, on the radio

Posted on May 15, 2009June 18, 2009 by David

As I’m featured in the very nice Superheroes & Schlemiels exhibition currently at the Jewish Museum here in Melbourne, they’ve kindly given me the opportunity to appear on ABC 774 this Sunday with the Museum’s Helen Light to talk about… comic books and Jews, probably. We’ll be on around 10:30am, speaking with Alan Brough, which…

Rock the vote

Posted on May 6, 2009June 18, 2009 by David

These fellows at bigfish.tv make silly cartoons. So do I. That’s why I sent them one of mine (“Badlands”) for their Flash contest. They picked it for the final five. Five silly cartoons. If you go to their site, you can watch all five silly cartoons (it’ll take under five minutes), then if you register…

Comic Book Funny: recap

Posted on May 2, 2009 by David

Photo by Peter Jetnikoff In week two, our very…

Be there if you can, Gerard’s coming all the…

I like comedy

Posted on April 9, 2009April 9, 2009 by David

The other night we saw Matthew Keneally and Josie Long at the Comedy Festival. They were both fun, but Josie Long gets the edge over, being that she’s COMPLETELY ADORABLE, made us laugh ’til it hurt AND she makes her own zines and hands them out to audience members. A friend of mine told me…

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.
