    That’s class. I fucking hate colouring in Photoshop. But then I hate colouring. You might have noticed.

    I’m so embarassed. Someone tell me how to do italics and bold formatting in comment boxes, please?

    That’s class. The cover is deadly. I just finished reading the book earlier. Really enjoyed it!

    Far Cry – had to remove your comment, the html fucked up the comments box.

  9. maggot says:

    Was it coarse Twenty ?

  10. maggot says:

    MB – use rather than []

  11. maggot says:

    Try again – use rather than ]

    I spotted the book in the shop the other day. I read a random page (having read the taster intro here already) and almost gave meself a hernia trying to stop my self falling around with laughter.
    I’ll read another page next weekend. Promise.

  14. Fascinating stuff, Twenty. I hope he was paid extra for making you look considerably younger?

  15. nonny says:

    I was genuinely taken aback by what you look like in real life, I was expecting a more nerdy type. You look so rough (I mean that in the nicest possible way). All in all I’d say the illustration does you justice. Did the guy know what you looked like before he drew you?

  16. I’m curious to see what all you blogger folk look like I must say. I should have turned up at the blogger awards and taken pictures of everyone.

  17. or did everyone appear in spiderman costumes?

  18. maggot says:

    Twenty turned up dressed as an owl

  19. nonny says:

    Why don’t you all do your best illustration of what you think Twenty looks like and we’ll judge the best!

  20. roryjohn says:

    Hodder Headline commissioned me to do an illustration for the cover of Twenty Majors first book the order of the Phoenix based on characters from his profanity filled popular blog: twentymajor.net

    At least he got the title right on the cover itself.

  24. Have you had a stroke Peadar?

  25. Twenty Major says:

    Stop it please, Peadar.

  26. Peadar says:

    sorry.
    I was trying to figure out how to end italics, bold etc. I have it now

  27. Loco Lobo says:

    Good artist, made you good looking.

  28. Paul McClean says:

    Very cool. That site is pretty neat too, though I read “Yeats on a train” as “Snakes on a plane”
