Hey Guys!

I’ve just updated the cast page as the old one just had old drawings of the characters and had been neglected! I think it looks aot better now, and now has Rosemary and PJ on ther too. Buckie and Mr Witsend the property manager have been left up but still have older pics up as I haven’t drawn them in the strip for some time now, but they have been written in to future instalments, so they’ll get updated in the not too distant future.

Cheers!

Hey guys!

As you can tell from the CAPS I have some news, 20 Something will no longer be updating on Wednesdays, I have decided to update on Fridays from here on. The main reason being that Mondays and Tuesdays are my busiest days at work and if I’m running late with art from a busy weekend, I just have no energy to put in the late hours to get it finished.  Some Tuesdays I just can’t stomach the thought of sitting in front of a computer any longer than the 9 hours I’ve just done! So I think Friday is a better fit, well at least worth giving a try, and as wednesday and thursdays are generally slower days at work I will feel more enthused to get it done. Anyways, hope you guys understand and don’t mind the adjustment!

Cheers!

Hey there 20S fans!

There wont be a comic this week, mainly because I need to start work on building more of a “buffer” of comics so I’m not always working on the fly, which gets interrupted if I’m busier at work or away, so this weeks update has been cancelled for the greater good… the greater good! But will be back next week!

Cheers, Jimmy

Hey there!

Due to the day job sapping my energy these past weeks I’m behind on my 20 Somethings! They will be back to normal next week, I hope! I have faith! Be sure to check back next week!

Cheers!

Hey there!

I posted this originally at webcomicsinc.com but thought Id post it here for you guys if you’re interested! There were 7 questions asked and here goes!

- What kind of sketchbook do you use?
I just use A3 normal copy paper which I’ve drawn a template for the strip in Adobe Indesign, I have used sketchbooks in past, but now just recently have started using bristol board buuuut it costs alot more than cheap paper.
- How do you write your ideas/strips?
I just write out the dialogue and actions in brackets stating which panel they’ll appear in my diary, the writing changes once i get to drawing and finishing the strip.
- How do you get your ideas?
Ummmm I tend to just stare into space sitting there with a pen until some funny situation or one liner pops into my head, I then expand it into a full comic if it needs to be, or if i think I can turn it into a series of strips I’ll brainstorm more. The characters just pretty much have a conversation in my head and I listen to the voices!
- How long does it take to draw your comic?
Varies but probably average around 2 hours each one.
- Do you work traditionally or digitally?
Mainly traditionally with HB pencils, and micron and pitt pens. I then scan into photoshop for clean up and add in the text, my handwriting is pretty terrible so have decided to stick to computer fonts!
- Anything else I left out!
Jerry, my jack russell x, normally sleeps at my feet while I work. Doesn’t help creatively but his fur feels nice on the soles of my feet.

So there you have it!! A small insight into how I spend my Tuesday and Thursday nights!

Cheers!

Hey there!

Just letting you know that I am planning on doing two “20 Somethings” a week, starting this week, from now on. I originally started the comic on a bi-weekly schedule but got slowed down by work and football commitments, but now free of football, I have more weekend time free and no traininig, plus good enthusiasm for the strip so will give it another go! They will prob stay colour but might be blacknwhite sometimes, depends how much time I give myself!

Cheers!

RIP Daffy.

Hey there!

Hope you all have had great holiday seasons, I did! Sorry for the lack of updates, have had time off and was busy with the festive season and then back to work, and throw in some procastination and thats basically why there hasn’t been a new strip up for a lil’ while! The good news however is that the weekly strips will begin again starting next wednesday and every wednesday there on, if not I’ll try to let you guys know! Next few strips will be Christmas themed, I wrote them before Christmas, just didnt finish it! Mike n Jeff deserve a holiday period to right?!? Even if it I’m to preoccupied to give it to them on time!! Anyways hope you are all well and thanks for sticking around during my little break, and sorry for not saying I was going on a break!!

Cheers,

Jimmy
