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!

Hey all, had some issues with the uploading of the comic today for some reason, so it will be posted as soon as I get home from work, which will be around5.30pm Aussie time! Sorry again, stupid computers, can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without them!

Hey all,

The next 20 Something will be posted on Friday 30th, this week due to unforeseen dramas and a different work week. Sorry for any annoyance!

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

Hey there,

Sorry but there won’t be a new strip this week, I’ve been sick for a big chunk of the past week and just haven’t had the time or energy to complete the latest installment. Sorrrryyy, I really don’t like having to delay it but can’t help it, damn flu! Check back next week and there will be a newbie up, might be a good chance to go through and read the archives…. gotta find some positive! Have a cool day and thanks for visiting!

Cheers,

Jimmy

hey there guys!

Just writing for the sake of writing a post! Not feeling the greatest this week but hopefully this still means the next comic will be uploaded on Wednesday! Anyways, I have been pondering the future of 20 Something and decided to try realise the dream of getting a comic printed somewhere and have sent off letters to a few newspapers, baby steps I know! Not expecting heaps to come from it but if anything does it will be a bonus!! At the moment the comic is very much a labour of love so it’d be nice to get abit of revenue back from it, especially to at least cover hosting etc etc. If you have a local newspaper needing some light entertainment or any publication, feel free to turn them onto the comic! Hope all is well and make sure you check out this weeks comic!

Cheers, Jimmy
