Squish Book edited by David Blumenstein

Squishbook is a big fat book from the artists of Melbourne’s Squishface Comic Studio. We’re a shared workspace for comics makers. It’s a “kids annual”-style collection of comics and activities, but it’s also a how-to-make-comics book, and a why-you-should-make-comics book!
We spent a year writing, drawing, running workshops with the grade 2’s at Kensington Primary School and answering their questions. All our expertise, silliness and philosophy is rolled into a book for 8-12 year olds — the ones we’ve met over the years at Squishface Studio. The ones who love to draw all the time and their parents go, “What can I do with this child?“
Inside, you’ll find comics, and thoughts on making them, from David Blumenstein, Ben Hutchings, Sarah Howell, Jo Waite, Scarlette Baccini, Briar Rolfe, Alex e Clark, Patrick Alexander, Jin Hien Lau, Ive Sorocuk, Alex Pavlotski, guest “writers, not drawers” Nicholas J. Johnson and Warwick Holt.
