Cartoonist, musician and animator Dave Mahler
I’m a Melbourne-based music video director, cartoonist, musician and animator. I directed my first clip back in 2009 and I’ve been working towards my dream as a feature length film director ever since. Comics have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’m just gearing up to put out the fith issue of Kahvillen Comics, a quarterly digest choc full of introspective tales, ‘witty’ observations and fart jokes.

New work from Melbourne artist Joanna Mortreux
Joanna Mortreux, a Melbourne-based artist, has created the series The Awkwardness of Living and Dying Simultaneously, where monumental figures sit like cryogenically frozen specimens of either some ancient past or some frozen future. Like artefacts in a museum, they exist as landmarks or even portals to another space or imagined time. All inspired by the crazy cold beauty of Iceland. Read more

Recently releasing our debut LP, I took care of the cover art and decided to produce some quality, limited edition prints. You can check those, along with the rest of my work here. Read more
Mona Lisa created from 6,239 connected dots
Melbourne-based artist Thomas Pavitte uses basic techniques to create complex artworks. For his take on Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, he carefully arranged and numbered 6,239 dots and then spent the next nine hours connecting them. The result is not only the (unofficial) world record for the most complex dot-to-dot drawing, but also happens to be a seriously cool piece of art. Read more

Born Gold: a band out of Alberta, Canada
Back when they were going by the name Gobble Gobble, these guys released a hefty sum of free digital singles, each more frantic, catchy, poppy, and astounding than the last.

Sam Wallman’s comic book Being Born is Going Blind
Sam Wallman has recently released his second art/comic book, Being Born is Going Blind. Young and prolific like every forward thinking creative these days, Wallman’s work is jammed full of witty observations, societal critique and chilling world truths. At times his dense line work and blatant opinions can be overwhelming, but after taking a minute to absorb his undeniably considered and coy morals you can’t turn back. Read more

Sometimes we need an ad to remind us of what’s important. Normal is beautiful. Keep our oceans alive. Vote. Be more fearless. The Whitehouse Post is an international post-production company whose projects are damn fine. In fact, they are the scary mix of wit and aesthetics that makes any message convincing. Long live Coca-Cola.

Casio Keyboard Brooklyn trio Au Revoir Simone are about to release a collection of remixes and covers their musical friends have recorded of songs found on their second album, The Bird Of Music. Titled Reverse Migration, the record features re-workings by Best Fwends, Teenagers, Darkel, and more. We caught up with them recently. Why and when did you decide to release a remix album? Annie: ‘Our friends were making so many wonderful versions of our songs we wanted to share them with the world’. How did you select the artists? Annie: ‘Mostly they were friends who told us they wanted to do remixes! Very fun and easy’. Reverse Migration is out November 11 through the band’s own label, Our Secret Record Company. Listen to Ruff & Jam by Au Revoir Simone.
