A Belated Happy New Year for 2007, 2008 and 2009 :)

3 years since I was active - I never realised I would 'disappear' for so long, I needed a break from it all to spend quality time with my family - DA was sucking me in deep and I was struggling - the events way back on this site late '05 gave me a kick in the right direction.

Well, the kiddies are growing fast - 7 & 9 now for those intersted - and soaking so much information. I keep doing an occasional "Question Time" - they can ask me anything and I have to be able to answer it best I can - some bizzare questions crop up, from "How do full boats float" to "What is Water made from" - Chemistry lessons at 6 years old are great fun.

Art? Hmm, not sure if I could anymore - never have the inkling to fire up tg - it is still installed - maybe one day...It doesn't really matter for me now, not in the grand scheme of things, it was great to do.

As for DA and the friends I made on here, thanks so much for your kind and thoughtful words over the years - kept me going nicely.

I intend on 'lurking' - sounds awful that, but I guess thats what I'll do - the odd comment here and there when I get some of that precious time to myself...

In the meantime, as Stotty used to say - "Enjoy!"

Welcome back! Can't wait for the new work to start pouring in. I've had "Lost Lagoon" hanging on my wall for 3 years now, and I wouldn't mind adding another one of your works to my collection of prints :)

Hope all is going well. Saw you commented on some pics and wanted to say hi really quick. Good to hear the kids are doing good! :)

I'm in the same boat, in regards to Terragen, although I have tried working on some T2 stuff lately.

Thanks mate :)

you need to teach me all about tg2 sometime - I haven't touched it at all. Hope you find it fairly straight forward to use...

It's definitely straight forward and easy to use. You add elements, such as cloud layers, water, etc.. Then you adjust the settings for each individually -- much like with Terragen -- but you can also add shaders, and other cool stuff and organize them graphically.

If you've looked at some T2 pictures online you'll see that they're AMAZING!! :D

Worth checking out - for sure! :)
