Dear All,

From May 8th 2011 I will be out of contact, off dA (both accounts), and unable to reply to messages or upload artwork. This situation will persist more or less constantly until August, though there might be the odd day here or there when I am able to check in. However, between May 8th and June 10th there is practically a 100% chance of not being able to get online, part of the Sandhurst "first five weeks" training policy. (In essence they condense 14 weeks of basic soldier training into 5 for officer candidates so I can look forward to 20+ hour workdays, 7 days a week, for those 35ish days, fun fun fun).

After June 10th I will still be really busy and I don't think I get a proper internet connection ("proper" here means a dongle I must bring with me, not a wired in connection or even a campus-wide wifi connection) until probably term 2 (starting September 11th 2011), so I'm guessing there will be long periods of inactivity and stagnation here - even more than at present! The trade-off is that I should have some really interesting photos and maybe drawings to upload at the end of it all, provided I take a camera or have time for sketches (something I am not brilliant at but have been getting back into recently).

Oh, and this all supposes that I will want to stay awake and sit online in my moments of free time / holiday, and not just sleeeeeeeeep

Keep uploading, favouriting, watching, commenting, critiquing, etc, and I'll try to catch up with it all when I can!
