Scribing about scribing

Posted on November 17, 2014November 17, 2014 by David

“Scribing”, otherwise known as “graphic recording”, “graphic facilitation”, etc, is where an event is captured, often in real time, by an artist using words and pictures. You can be employed to do this, though I often do it on paper for my own benefit at conferences or talks I attend. This year I’ve had more…

2013: a recap

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

I love this little article from the Australian Writer’s Guild magazine. It’s by P.J. Hogan, director of Muriel’s Wedding. The stuff about Lift-Off feels familiar.

No, really, I’m a writer

Posted on August 23, 2009August 23, 2009 by David

My day job at the moment is animating on the second series of Dogstar! The same trailer, in Japanese: I worked on the original series a few years back. As Australian kids TV goes, it’s pretty shit-hot (this means “good”). So Michael V (my deskmate) and I would amuse ourselves by coming up with ideas…

Posted on June 22, 2009 by David

This week is a big week: it’s ANTI-PROCRASTO WEEK. My workload lightens up a bit this week so I’m setting myself some tasks to take care of, the stuff that gets pushed back when I’m being paid to draw talking penises or animate moustache demons. — 1. Precinct scripts We now have three scripts at…

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.
