Ben Hutchings is an Australian cartoonist and animator. He was born in Moruya, NSW but grew up in Canberra. He is best known for his work in the video game industry, on games such as Vengeance and BioShock[1], and for his long-running comic strip "Tales from the Pub" in The Picture.

Self-publishing

Exposed at an early age to mainstream American comics and European "albums" such as Tintin, he was inspired to make his own primarily by British humour comics such as Viz. He began his own comics career self-publishing his own books in a photocopied A5 zine format under the imprint "Geeen Comix"; early titles included Dragon Hurtor, Buckets of Bile and the ongoing series You Stink and I Don't (1994-2004). Later one-shot books included Lesson Master, also serialised in The Picture, and Pumpkin Brothers, a children's comic.[2] He also contributed to anthologies of work which included artists such as Mandy Ord and Kirrily Schell.

Squishface Studio

Having moved to Melbourne in the 2000s, Hutchings was one of eight artists who undertook a residency at the National Gallery of Victoria's gallery space at Federation Square, and, enjoying the experience of working in public, partnered with several other cartoonists to start Squishface Comics Studio, an open comics studio located in Brunswick, Victoria. It opened to the public in 2012.[3]

Graphic novels

Hutchings' self-published works began to be republished by Melbourne publisher Milk Shadow Books in 2011, starting with the collected You Stink and I Don't and a new work, Walking to Japan[4] and continuing with other new books including Iron Bard Ballisto.

In 2017 he illustrated The Invisible War: A Tale on Two Scales, a graphic novel about lethal bacteria threatening the life of a nurse on the Western Front during the First World War. The book was created in collaboration with historians and scientists. It won a number of awards and was nominated by the Children's Book Council of Australia as a 'Notable Book of 2017'.[5]

Other works

Hutchings has continued to self-publish books and produce online comics for outlets such as Going Down Swinging and The Nib.
