When people think of Australians on this site i get the feeling they usually think of either Adam Phillips or Rubberninja. Adam Phillips is the only one of the 2 i think actually makes Australianish cartoons (Hitch Hiker being an obvious example), so ill stop talking about Rubberninja as of now. But after some digging i found 2 other guys i think are rockin pretty hard. As bold as it sounds i think Australia has some of the best writers on this website.
Ive been a big fan of Sexual Lobster since way back in 2004, but for some reason i never picked up on his accent, i always knew there was something about it, but it didnt know what it was. Im kinda slapping myself in the face now. Turns out he lives not far from here. But back on topic, ive never been a fan of dialogue driven cartoons, i always found it to be kind of a waste of the animation medium. Yet Mr Lobster has created characters and uses dialogue i dont think would work in any other medium. His animation is also really nice too boot. Everything he does feels distinctly australian, whether its the voices or just the humour in general, and people seem to love it, i dont understand why theyre arent more Australians doing this sort of stuff.
Now Cameron Clunes on the other hand i only just discovered recently. I dont know how i missed his cartoons up until now. While his animation is ususually rather limited, his dialogue never ceases to crack me up. And while only a few of his toons rather really Australian, his writing always carries the animation beautifully, which is incredibly hard to pull off.
I know there are alot of other Aussie authurs out there, so if you are leave a comment so i can go check out ya stuff.
In other news, heres a video of me and my friend who also happens to be named Daniel dancing like the big ghey faggots we are. Dancing is fun. Id love to make more of these sort of videos, theyre simple and just a heap of fun to make.
