Biography
Artinum is a perpetually confused but well-meaning avatar scratching together a decent living in the world of Ancient Egypt. He is supported in this lifestyle by the vast amount of time he spends in the role of a middle aged software packager several thousand years in the future. It's a tedious game, but it pays the bills and keeps him in onions.
When he's not tending sheep, making bricks or wondering whether cicadas are mythical, Artinum also writes novels and obeys the whims of the cat.
Based in UK, so normally on GMT (except during daylight savings). I also work a full time job, so I'm mostly evenings and weekends.

Trades
I've set up a shop near Koptos CS selling various sundries - Artinum's Grocery Store. New stock always being considered.
Paints
For a list of paints I can make, see Artinum Paints.
Alignment and Acro
I've made minimal progress on both of these, largely because the big events usually take place when I'm not online. I am happy to try either if I'm not busy with something else.
Guilds
I am a member of Amigos, Hunting in the Darkest Night and Tattoos 4 U.
Research Goals
None of my own, but I'm always happy to pitch in where I can.
