I have not been idle in that time though, no.
I have been working for a company by the name of Blue Forest, they design tree-houses and other woody structures. Cabins, classrooms, hotel lodges... Maybe take a look at their website.

I've had an amazing time designing and visualising some of their projects. I've been very fortunate to be able to carry on using Blender and LuxRender as the main tools for my job.
Below are a set of renders I did for a recent pitch we did. All done with Blender/LuxRender apart from the last one which was done with the freestyle render in Blender.
I promise I will try not to leave it so long between posts.
