Early life and education
Augenblick grew up in Wilmington, Delaware, and studied at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York City. While at college, Augenblick created two animated short films entitled "The Midnight Carnival" (screened at Slamdance Festival 2000) and "The Wire". These films received two ASIFA Awards and the SVA Dusty Award for outstanding achievement in Animation.

Augenblick Studios garnered widespread notoriety for their spot-on parodies of classic cartoons, leading to Augenblick being named as one of the rising stars of animation by Animation Magazine.
In 2006, Augenblick wrote and directed Golden Age, a faux-documentary which examined the scandalous private lives of iconic cartoon characters from the past. The ten episodes series was originally created for Comedy Central's broadband channel Motherload and was later released as a 22-minute short film. Golden Age was an official selection of the Sundance Film Festival and played in numerous festivals worldwide.
Augenblick Studios created the first season of Superjail! in 2008, an animated series for Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network. Augenblick was the show's executive producer and animation director.
From 2010 to 2012, Augenblick served as the supervising producer and animation director for Comedy Central's horror-comedy series Ugly Americans. The 2011 Ottawa International Animation Festival screened a retrospective of Augenblick's work. In 2015, he directed the animated shows "Golan the Insatiable" for Fox and "The Jellies" for Golf Wang.
