I'm known as Juta Lovelace and I'm soon to be 30.
Here is a list of the comics I posted on Tapas:

I'm a freelance artist with no real job, so I just make money however I can with my art. Recently I worked on an entry for the Webtoon contest. Didn't win but scored a honorable mention.
Hey paperwren,
I'm a 31 year old and worked full-time as a graphic designer for about half a decade while making print volumes of my comic that's going up on Tapastic in full color now. Nowadays I'm going back to school to learn a lot more about software development and team management because I wanted to increase my earning potential, and just generally get on top of technology that will dominate the job market. Never willing to give up on art entirely though!
Here's my comic if you want to check it out. It features a lot of university life so it could be up your alley.
Yay, a place where I can feel comfortable!
I will be 28 in October. I live with my husband and our cat, and work as a logistic assistant. I've started my comics when I was around 15-16. Sadly for some years I can't be as productive as before. I think... that's being an adult? I don't know, I more like try to be an adult, than being one XD Anyway, recently I am about to find my way back to my comics. I never stopped doing them, I just became extra slow. So for a month I try to draw more, and color again every weekend.
Here are my comics:
Dreamcatchers is my very first comic, so it's style changed a lot.
Hi. I have been painting really only for like, a year or so, not so often at first. After a rough early adult period, I finally got myself together enough to paint more often. I was diagnosed schizophrenic, and it took a very long time to get to this point. I made my first finished comic series in 2012, I started it while on the streets of riverside. I finished it with 3 issues with 3 chapters per issue while living in a group home. I spent time writing, and tried making a graphic novel out of a work that was a year of writing for me.
My current project is the Epic of Aphromann. It is about a man, who became a slave as a child to relieve his family's debts. He fights for the entertainment of the Egyptians and eventually impresses a general who makes him a captain to finish paying for his freedom. He becomes a mercenary when the general is killed in combat from the mistake of an older captain.
He travels across many parts of the world, in a time that was post persian and post alexander the great, but pre ottomans. Most of the time he is poor, buying new gear as older pieces wear out. Eventually he finds better gear that are gifts of the gods.
The story goes into a romance and afair and tragedy, that is relieved by fulfilling a task set by a god/goddess.
I am painting each scene on a 9x12 mixed media drawing pad. They are scanned by a local print shop at 4k resolution, and I do prints for my home so I may look at my story while in the living room and not have to touch the originals. It used to take me a full week to complete one piece in 24 hours of work, my last piece I feel is my best, and only took 12-13 hours to complete and only 3-4 working days. My goal for inktober is to paint a total of four pieces, but I may be able to do eight pieces.
at the date and time of this post I am 29 years old.
Neat thread!
We're a duo, @LortiaMJB is the illustrator and he's 25, @minerrale is the writer and she's (I'm) 26 (and a half! am older than you, fella! sorry)
I was an assistant for the longest time, did a bunch of different jobs along the same lines until I lost everything I had for the second time and decided that it was enough, I got only the one life, I'm going to have fun. So I left my country and my job to join Lortia and became a full-time writer!
He used to be a construction worker, a paver to be exact, until a few months ago it became too much for him and he had the same epiphany as I did (luckily without the depressing circumstances) and now is a full-time illustrator as well.
Below are our main comic and novel, we're still working on more!
Well i guess I'm giving away my age right now... but.. ohhhhh well
I'm Danita I'm 25 and I've been working on my comic Maximum Chaos since 2015, unfortunately i don't do that full time, its a side thing for now.
I've been working on a second comic series called Vampire Search ( August 2018), (which is crazy of me, but i love making my stories a reality in some form or another.)
My goal is to be able to improve on my comics and character so i can do this full time, bur in the meantime i work retail. balancing can be a little hectic because i have traces of ADHD, but when i get working i work so much i forget to sleep or eat.
Heeey, I'm Nes. I'll be 27 this weekend, but I think my comic makes me look like I'm a 7 year old. Sometimes a messed up 7 year old
I'm in the middle of searching for a job right now, but I wanted to make a funny comic as a hobby. The art style is simple as hell for several reasons, the biggest being to save time, but I do try to focus and spend more time on the quality of the jokes instead.
By the way, your comic is adorable, Sarah.
Hi There!
I just turned 25 a few months ago (so hopefully you will still accept me on this thread). I unfortunately went to college and specialized way too early and ended up with a diploma in a field I didn't want to pursue (3D Modeling), so now I am stuck working a customer service job to pay off my student loans (though I am working hard to find a job in a creative field instead)
I am currently working on The Librarian Arachnid Slayer which you can read here:
Edit: Or here as I am finally uploading the series to Tapas as well:
