I've been a bit absent lately, for which I apologise. I have a huge backlog of deviations to go through, as well as journals, polls, etc. And I will! I promise.

In the meantime, I'm just going to try and get back into this whole art thing. What with travelling up and down the UK, going back to Uni, reading far too many books for my course and various illnesses and whatnot, I've got out of the habit of drawing. I have done a little writing, but I'm really not sure DA is the place for that (plus the response, or lack of, to my last piece of writing was a bit of an ego deflation). This is all making me sound a bit grumpy and complainy, but I'm really not - I simply think DA is a better forum for the visual arts, so it is that I'm going to try and get back into.

Also, I'm trying to pimp my profile a little bit - I've finally put up an ID, though I may change this soon, and I'm currently trying to work out how to get a signature on my comments etc. Stay tuned.

I still have several ATCs for trade; if anybody takes a fancy to one, feel free to note me or comment on it and it could be yours in a matter of days!

It only remains for me to say, hello, goodbye, good luck and stay happy, everybody.
