Squishface Studio is an open comics studio, retail, and co-working space for comic artists and illustrators in Brunswick, Australia. It was founded in November 2011 by Ben Hutchings, Sarah Howell, David Blumenstein, Marta Tesoro, Arran McKenna and Sacha Bryning, and formally opened to the public on January 26, 2012.[1] As of 2019, Hutchings and Blumenstein continue to be resident artists.
Squishface is known as a community hub for comics in Australia;[2] it is the only permanent comics maker space in the country and one of few in the world that is open to the public. It also publishes comics; three editions of the anthology Squishzine Brunstown[3] have been released. The first won a Bronze Ledger award in 2015.[4]
