How did you come up with the name "Talking Heads"?

The title is a bit of an inside joke. When I first drew the comic, back in my first year of university, it was just that, a pair of heads talking to each other. Now it's more of a tongue in cheek reference to the fact that my art is still pretty primitive (I cut and past, a lot).

How often do you update?

Ideally, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. If I’m not going to be able to update, or there is some technical problem, I will likely leave a message explaining the situation.

How long does it take you to draw one of the comics?

Depending on how complex the art is, and if I have the dialogue polished off, it can take around 45minutes to an hour, unless copious amount of caffeine is used. Caffeine is a fun word to type.

Where do you get your inspiration for your comics from?

Lol, this is actually addressed in a strip, but mostly the stuff just comes to me. I am in constant fear of someone sending me an angry letter telling me that I ripped something of theirs off without realizing it, so I try to be as original as possible. Mostly is just crazy S--- that pops into my head.

Are you crazy?

Actually, I’m the only sane person, everyone else is crazy, or does that amount to the same thing? Next Question!

What program do you use to draw talking heads?

Originally, I did most of the work in Paint. I am now firmly entrenched in Adobe illustrator and Photoshop but I am always looking for methods to both impove and streamline my process.

Are any of your characters based on real people?

Funny you should ask. Several Characters (mostly ladies) are based on real people. Some are more accurate to real life (Caroline and Julia) and others (Matt and Amy) I have taken and really altered for the strip.

What is Death to Noobs?

Death to Noobs is a World of Warcraft themed additional webcomic hosted on our site. It's mainly associated with the Thunderhorn server guild, Death Without Dishonour. Usually it follows the misadventures of Faithurbonv, an undead priestess on the server, or anything else we think is funny about the game. Sadly, it's not updated very often, as making the comics are slightly more involved than he usual talking heads comics.
