Deviation Actions
I know I went to ground for a while, a habbit I seem incapbable of breaking, but in this case it was because I was fed up with DA repeatedly loading the ad that would try and get me to update Java to view it. Nto only would it take me away from DA when I didn't want it to, I know for a fact my Java is as up to date as you can get. I don't want the ad, I don't want to view whatever it is you deem so important you decided to take me away from what I was doing and most of all, I don't want to give you any reason to be any more of an antisocial, creeping, callous, skin illness than you already are for thinking this was not only okay to do but important enough to make!
Basicly, I got sick of continually running my virus checker and being removed from DA when I was half way through a comment. As those who watch me may know, I put a great deal of effort into my feedback on pictures and descriptions of my own art. It reached a point where I was storming off from the computer because this pathetic waist of processing power was robbing me of my comments.
So I left DA until it had sorted itself out. During which time I came to a decition. I won't leave DA. I enjoy the site and the art. I'll keep posting stuff and talk to people here. But I won't keep saying that I'm back for good. Sometimes life takes over or the site is broken or something important needs my attention. When that happens DA will take a back seat. But I'll still be here and check in when I can.
Plus, my art seems to be getting attention. Last year I illustrated a book. For a family member but still it was published. This year I've been asked to do the back grounds for a small pantomie near where I work. It's a small step but for the first time I'll have credit for it! I may be working hard on that but I also found the time to get all the sketches and pictures I've been working on this year scanned and resized. This will not be like the Ayacon photos but expect a few pictures including a return to some ShadAmy stuff.
In the meantime, 11,000 messages are waiting for me. Best get to work.

So, anyone still here?
I return. Yeah... If it helps, I'm still coughing from the dust that currently clings to my account. But I am alive and back on DA!
Since my last update I have done the art for two pantomimes, gotten my second degree, became ill from stress, quit my dead end job, moved house on the same day I quit, got better, got a new job which I am really enjoying, had family emigrating and returning, went and studied for yet another qualification, joined a walking club, started writing a book which I may actually finish, started an exercise plan to gain some muscle and I'm currently managing a computer system among other things.
As I said before, DA was
Here we go again
So, where did I go this time?
Well, no where. But I did get asked to illustrate a children's book. Yes it was by a relative and it's for a christmas gift rather than general reliece but still. I've also bee asked to help a college at work design a few things and I'm thinking of volunteering. I'm taking a course in accountacy with a final exam coming up on wensday. I've nearly finished my Christmas shopping which includeds making something for at least one of my friends or family. I have, for the last two years, knitted a modern reproduction of the scarf worn by Tom Baker when he played Doctor Who. That thing took me six months of knitting (I
A National Debate
As a rule of thumb I try to keep news and politics out of my posts. My main reason is I like to think about these things and draw my conclusion with all the facts by which point it's not news any more. But this! It might as well be called: How to take out both legs in one easy lesson by The Daily Mail.
For those who are unfamiliar with The Daily Mail, it's a conservative newspaper in the UK which is known for promoting some rather extreme views on life and putting out articles designed to enrage people. They mainly seek to get a reaction and are one of the papers who feel there was nothing wrong with hacking phone lines of the families of ev
How does life do it?
I swear I go away for five minutes and when I get back I look at the date and ask where the time lord is who stole nearly a year of my life! But then again that's what being an adult is for. Or so I'm told.
So, I should probably update and pleanty has been happening. The job market has picked up and it looks like we might be able to start moving forward with the recovery. I'm thinking I might go in for teaching. I'd need to work while I did the studying but still, I think I'd enjoy it. I'm going to look at my choices.
I should talk about this stem cell burger as it is pretty important even if it is old news. Those who are claiming it will m

Nice to hear things are going well. I barely post on DA as well. I don't have time for art and my writing was never read. I am working on a manuscript I hope to try and online publish or something. I have no idea how, but I feel my work in wasted on here. Anyway, glad to hear from you as I was thinking about you lately.
