Teasers for two new shows.

Posted on November 8, 2011November 8, 2011 by David

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”. Arran is a cartoonist, actor and all-round happy chappy, so I cast him as a gangster’s aide who is secretly an undercover cop. Aidzee is a comedian, comedy producer…

A Message From A Queen Fan

Posted on August 2, 2011 by David

As a big Queen fan, I was disappointed by their exciting new venture into social media marketing — a contest where they ask their fans to make them a music video. Here’s my entry/response.

New Precinct cartoon: BE A MAN!

Posted on December 4, 2010 by David

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…

Here’s the Precinct stuff from the Opera House contest

Posted on August 21, 2010 by David

I entered and was a finalist in the Sydney Opera House’s GRAPHIC animation competition! I’ve whacked the stuff I had to make for the contest on YouTube. First, there were two video diaries: My head looks larger and pinker in the second one, but the clip is shorter and has a better ending. And here’s…

Opera House Follies

Posted on August 10, 2010 by David

I spent the weekend in Sydney at the GRAPHIC comics/animation-related festival/event-series/thing! It was a very nice com/an-rel fest/ev-ser/thg which I certainly wouldn’t have gone to/been able to afford if I hadn’t been a finalist in their animation competition. I did not win the animation competition! Dave Thomas, Canadian, won it. He’s a very nice chap,…

Precinct is kicking goals in Opera House animation comp

Posted on July 16, 2010 by David

Haven’t had time to post properly lately as I’ve been extra busy. Hopefully the Tweeting makes up for that. The good news is that things are going splendidly on all fronts! I’ve been doing new Precinct animation (well… really a jumped-up animatic with some colour) for the Sydney Opera House’s GRAPHIC animation competition, and it’s…

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.
