It has resulted in L’année du lièvre, a trilogy that tells his family’shistory: the escape attempts, the ordinary cruelty, and the indoctrination. While the third volume of L’année du lièvre will be released in France, the French Institute is presenting an exhibition tracing the artistic journey of Tian, from the very first sketches to the final plates.Besides this exhibition, a discussion with Tian will also be held on on Tuesday 15 December at 6.30pm.

Here are a few old dream comics! My dreams used to have a lot of surreal processions and festivals in them. Now my actual life has them because people in this town will do anything for a chance to say to hell with traffic let’s shuffle down the street - and I don’t ever dream at all.

Congrats to Ben Hutcho on his 40th!

Last words for the year!

Here’s a few more photos from our last two events: the third annual Squishface Coaster Show and the launch of Tim Molloy’s new book, Mr Unpronounceable and the Sect of the Bleeding Eye.

Thanks to our sponsors on Coaster Day, Teza, who supplied us with so much iced tea we carried it over into Tim’s launch as well (appropriate, as Tim is also from New Zealand and also smells like passionflower).

I’m very pleased to say that everybody thought the stuff actually tasted delicious, even David, who’s not an “tea” guy but is feijoa mad. People even went mad for the bottles, which can now be found in several local homes serving as tomato sauce and spice containers.

Most of the judges’ favourites are in, but we’re waiting on the final picks so we can figure out who our ULTIMATE WARRIOR SUPERPRIZEWINNERS are! I can say there’s a lot of variation in the picks. Previous years have yielded clear favourites, but there’s a lot of goodies this year. Look for us to announce winners early in the new year.

Squishface is hereby closed for 2014! Yeah, some of us will still be in the studio poking around, but officially we’re shutting until next year. We want to thank you for coming to our events this year, bringing the kids to Sarah and Ben’s classes and for generally dropping by when you felt like it — because that’s what we’re about!

Special hellos to those of you who finally walked in the door after enjoying Squishzine Brunstown. You have no idea how many people say, “I’ve been walking past and checking out the window but never stopped in”. It’s been great meeting you! And we’ve really appreciated the great feedback on the book. Hopefully we can do another one day.

Drawing night returns Wednesday January 7. Be there.

Squishface’s 3rd birthday party will, as usual, be on January 26, and we hope to have some small surprises for attendees…

See you next year!
