2013: a recap

Posted on January 3, 2014July 25, 2014 by David

I had a good year, and I’m thankful. I know not everyone did. I had a bunch of good jobs and did a lot of my own work and had fun in between. Here’s some of what I got up to in 2013! You can click it for a larger version.

Not to make a big deal of it, but I’m designing the rooms in The Precinct so that they get bluer and colder the further back into the building you go. The women’s bathroom sits outside that because it was more recently renovated.

“How cheap can you make it?” – why I’m making a TV series, but not for TV

Posted on June 11, 2013July 25, 2014 by David

For years I asked myself why Australia hasn’t had its own animated series for adults. Now I know that it’s my own fault!         “Pretty cheap!” Last year I went to a launch event put on by our state film funding body and SBS, Australia’s multicultural government TV network. At the drinks…

Be A Man: animatic action

Posted on January 13, 2013July 25, 2014 by David

These images are from the storyboards I’ve been doing for my animated series, BE A MAN. Actually, they’re an awkward cross between storyboards and animatic frames.

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).

I regularly collaborate with my wife, Sarah Howell.
