The next Second Arts show is set!

 
With a scheduled opening for February 7 at noon SL time, we’re going to have a show by SL photographer Phinn Boffin!

Can’t wait to see what she has in store for the gallery…

OpenSim Morris in his new OpenSimGrid pad

A couple sick days gave me time to play in OpenSim with my new homestead (at the Teravus Plaza sim, in case you care).  It was fun to build a little bayou shack from scratch…and making the details, like this lamp, reminded me that I really CAN build in SL.  (It’s been a while.)  So [...]

Carlotta Ceawlin’s Second Arts show – A tour de force

Perhaps the greatest unanticipated benefit of the Second Arts “Bay City Visions” photo contest was the incredible talent that just came out of nowhere and amazed judges and visitors alike.  Chief among them is someone I did not know (and still barely know), German avatar Carlotta Ceawlin.  Her contest-winning photo is on the cover of [...]

Back in a couple of weeks!

It’s RL vacation time for Morris’ RL avatar…and he’s taking his laptop but won’t make any promises about his Twitter, Plurk, blog or inworld activity.  This has been one crazy year, and he needs to decompress.  Trust me, he REALLY needs to decompress.
You should stop by Second Arts while I’m out, though, as Carlotta Ceawlin [...]

Vig does OpenSim

The OSGrid, to be precise.  It took all day, but the day was lazy and perfectly set for a series of explorations.  (Note I said series, as my Twitter and Plurk feeds tell you, my voyage was anything but crash-free…)  At the end of the day, here’s my first self-portrait:
 
Note that I’ve still got “Linden” [...]

Happy New Year!

(Better late than never, eh?)

What makes Chouchou more special than any other creative mind?

Hamlet Au notes that the inworld musical duo known as Chouchou has announced that they feel that they need direct financial donations to justify staying inworld.  This is downright silly.
Let’s be honest with ourselves as artists (or in my case, quasi-artists who like to support the art-creating class): You get support if you actually DO [...]
