Founding Partner
Jason Sampson is a professional cartoonist, videographer, photographer, and graphic designer whose 30-year career has seen him gain international recognition.
Jason is also the host for Australia’s longest running, comedy wine review show: Bogans Guide to Wine. Now in its eighth season, Jason’s perfect blend of information, entertainment, and total lack of pretention, cleans the palette and provides his viewers with plenty of laughs paired with some damn fine drops!
Pencilhead’s Kids Club
The character, Pencilhead, was originally developed for a 'How to Draw' book by Jason. The concept for the book evolved into a complete children's activity page which introduced the other characters Carol, Arnold, Lizzie and Blade. The activity page, Pencilhead's Kids Club, was picked up quickly by Australia's oldest and largest cartoon distributors Auspac Media. Since 2005 Pencilhead has appeared in newspapers and magazines in Australia, New York, UK, Ireland, Spain, Japan, South Africa, the Caribbean, Fiji and more, proving the characters have an international appeal.
Pencilhead’s Curiosity Corner
Impressed with Sampson's work, Melbourne's Sunday Herald Sun commissioned the development of Pencilhead's Curiosity Corner. This is less about activities and more concerned with education, aimed at a pre-teen/early teen audience.
