Posted on September 21, 2010 by David

Making a little animated trailer for another contest. This time it’s a trailer for a webseries based on me comic “The Bret Braddock Adventures”! Here’s some of the characters. I’m at the stage where the characters are being “built” (prepared for animating). We had a recording session for this toon a couple weeks ago which…

John Howard’s Knees: recording session 01

Posted on August 24, 2010 by David

So I’ve mentioned that I’m working on a new music short film called John Howard’s Knees, about the ex-PM and his bewitching patellas. Everybody wants to smash ’em! We had our very first proper recording session last month. Prior to this, I’d recorded a fairly crap demo track featuring me singing the song over a…

Animation time again!

Posted on November 29, 2009November 29, 2009 by David

The MEGA pitch went really well! Unfortunately, none of the broadcasters or entertainment types Justin invited actually showed! True, the pitches were happening right in the middle of the work day, but still… not good enough, ABC and SBS. You really had something better to do?… TEN THINGS THE REPS FROM THE ABC MIGHT HAVE…

Precinct ep 06: Blam!

Posted on July 24, 2009 by David

I stopped working on the animatic for the John Farnham episode because I’m doing something special this weekend: myself, Adam and two of our Precinct voice-maestros, Thomas Pullar and Adrian Calear, are going to perform a reading of the episode 6 script for a select audience at a secret location. SO MYSTERIOUS We’ll be assisted…

Precinct ep 00b: Eras of Ackersley

Posted on July 15, 2009 by David

As with Farnham, in the new Precinct cartoon we’ll be seeing Ackersley at different points from 1986 thru today. I think ’93 Ackersley is my favourite. More animatic done now: [kml_flashembed movie=”https://nakedfella.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/0b-Playing-to-Win.swf” width=”512″ height=”288″ allowfullscreen=”true” /] Please go to the Precinct site and try out our Cop Action Survey. We need some info about what…

Precinct ep. 00b: Eras of Farnham

Posted on July 5, 2009 by David

For the upcoming Precinct animation: obviously “You’re the Voice” Farnham is familiar, but here’s sketches for some later era Farnhams. Click for a larger version. Many of them will appear in this cartoon: basically he’ll be changing costume for every shot. Pain in the arse, as it means more character builds. But we’ll be using…

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.
