I am happy to say he’s expected back next year for a while.<br />I have been critically ill this year, a double whammy of emphysema and strong, unidentified lung infection, which nearly killed me and saw me off work for 2 months, exactly when Don happened to arrive!<br />I’m happy to say that with the right medicine, I’m now feeling as well as ever, and everything is back to normal.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8RKIdIKbnUw/SjtxL_iM_vI/AAAAAAAAAAU/8nrUFqo6zKc/s1600-h/page1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 243px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8RKIdIKbnUw/SjtxL_iM_vI/AAAAAAAAAAU/8nrUFqo6zKc/s320/page1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348993433279987442" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8RKIdIKbnUw/SjtxMNmAOrI/AAAAAAAAAAc/kRUz7XH3Zu0/s1600-h/page2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 243px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8RKIdIKbnUw/SjtxMNmAOrI/AAAAAAAAAAc/kRUz7XH3Zu0/s320/page2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348993437054024370" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8RKIdIKbnUw/SjtxMqYVuDI/AAAAAAAAAA0/WHo3dUD4tFI/s1600-h/page5.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 243px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8RKIdIKbnUw/SjtxMqYVuDI/AAAAAAAAAA0/WHo3dUD4tFI/s320/page5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348993444781340722" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8RKIdIKbnUw/SjtxMUdt-GI/AAAAAAAAAAs/bm2RjKV0k3M/s1600-h/page4.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 243px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8RKIdIKbnUw/SjtxMUdt-GI/AAAAAAAAAAs/bm2RjKV0k3M/s320/page4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348993438898321506" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8RKIdIKbnUw/SjtxMDKyGOI/AAAAAAAAAAk/xTYoqzXWi2c/s1600-h/page3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 243px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8RKIdIKbnUw/SjtxMDKyGOI/AAAAAAAAAAk/xTYoqzXWi2c/s320/page3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348993434255497442" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8RKIdIKbnUw/SjtxokXdwDI/AAAAAAAAABM/pDMGsvVPAqg/s1600-h/page8.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 243px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8RKIdIKbnUw/SjtxokXdwDI/AAAAAAAAABM/pDMGsvVPAqg/s320/page8.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348993924203397170" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8RKIdIKbnUw/SjtxoH-ayZI/AAAAAAAAAA8/UeZnOF7yA9E/s1600-h/page6.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 243px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8RKIdIKbnUw/SjtxoH-ayZI/AAAAAAAAAA8/UeZnOF7yA9E/s320/page6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348993916582152594" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8RKIdIKbnUw/Sjtxoeyf8sI/AAAAAAAAABE/CJ_aA_KG2Mg/s1600-h/page7.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 243px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8RKIdIKbnUw/Sjtxoeyf8sI/AAAAAAAAABE/CJ_aA_KG2Mg/s320/page7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348993922706174658" border="0" /></a><br /><br />APOLOGIES<br />Sorry to anyone who’s emailed me and hasn’t had a reply yet.<br />The response to the website combined with an unexpected increase of custom in the studio have left me with a backlog of unanswered email queries. I am gradually working through these, the cost of home email has only just become feasible in Cambodia, thanks to new networks .Previously a mango tree, prized by my landlord, ruled out a cheap satellite connection. I am now connected and will try to reply more promptly.<br /><br />ETC<br />A lot of enquiries are for Khmer translations. It’s on my big To Do list to sit down with Sre Malin (Mrs Mark Guru) and put together a sheet of popular requests to post on the website along with some other designs. Expect this in early September; I am on my way out to England to work and see family in July and August as usual. SinVille will re-open at the beginning of September, as usual. Contact no. in U.K. is 07956305544 and I will be based mostly in London.<br /><br />I am now doing some bamboo tattooing, mainly filling in small black pieces which I outline by machine. I make tools on an individual basis for each customer, and you are welcome to take these away as a souvenir.<br /><br />Interested guest artists(ideally for 1-3 months ,and with a minimum 3 years studio experience ,portfolio and preferably reference(s), who feel their work is up to standard, are welcome to contact me by email. If the face fits you will be well looked after.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5566444774588284469-8219315778540552015?l=sinvilletattoo.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mark Guruhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12922164486461832625noreply@blogger.com0
