Equipped with our latest-version Firestorm viewer (it’s been several since we updated), Flutters and I went for a walk through our hood…
… could be our imagination, but everything looked a lot lusher…
… of course, we love it here, we’re sure we’ve told you that…
… this is one of our very favourite places in SL…
… we were joined by our friend, Fau… three exotic creatures, hanging in Hangars Liquides (:
We have a new gallery. We’ve actually had it for over 6 months, now, but the human’s life got in the way of us posting about it…
… it’s at Littlepaws Art & Photography, courtesy of our lovely friend Leni Littlepaws…
… we are currently showing some of our early Midjourney work, which we still really like…
… please come and visit. There are other artists here, too, including Leni, who does really beautiful AI work (:
Happy New Year, everyone! We just wanted to let you know we are still here. Life has been serious for the human these last six months, with huge new realities to confront and work through. This hasn’t left much time for us, here in SL. Art, and Second Life, have been forced well down the priorities list… not because they aren’t priorities, not that at all, but that they just haven’t been possible.
Things are returning to a new ‘normal’, now, however, and we hope to be spending more time active, here, in SL, again. If you know us, you know we have been constantly ‘playing’ here the last 15 years, and these past 6 months have been quite traumatic for us/the human, not being able to be here. We are hoping that will change for the better (:
We visited ‘A Place Between Trailers‘ today…
… this is a caravan park in the twilight zone…
… it’s not exactly a cheery kind place…
… it’s an end-of-the-line kind of place…
… where reality and ennui collide.
We hung some much-needed, new work in our Soho gallery, today…
… this is a series of images of the strange…
… we call it ‘End Times’.
We visited 106 Moonstone Street, yesterday…
… what instantly struck us, though, was the photogenic neighbourhood…
… we loved all the architectural textures and shapes…
… colours and form…
… there’s plenty of space to rent here…
… and we just loved…
… the palette.
We visited Goblin’s Knob, last evening…
… we really liked the style, here… wonderfully whimsical and eclectic…
… sort of medieval faerie tale illustrated in oils…
… it’s a cool kind of whimsical grunge that’s not apocalyptic…
… we really like it (:
I have visited the Transylvania ‘open week’ for a few years, now. This was Flutter’s first visit…
… when I first came here, I went everywhere, and looked at everything…
… now I’m only here for one reason… the many beautiful gothic buildings that are here…
… Transylvania has one of the most consistent, high-quality collections of gothic architecture in SL…
… it wasn’t what I’d expected, when I first came to one of these open weeks…
… it’s a high-end vampire suburb (:
We visited Ai-mura Garden, today…
… a lot of it feels like a giant bonsai garden (I know, oxymoron, right?)… we liked it, a kind of scaled up miniature landscape feeling…
… everything is very manicured and tidy…
… with some slightly more wild foliage on the edges. We liked it, it’s all quite restful.
We went on our first adventure, since our return, today. We visited ‘Ragville‘…
… everything here is apparently ‘generative text to 3D’, which we understand to be AI-generated art turned into objects. Accordingly, it’s all on the distinctly trippy end of the reality spectrum…
… our favourite things were the trees…
… it’s all wonderfully surreal and odd…
… we liked the palette, too…
… all the buildings have a smooshy, distorted appearance…
… a lot of the creatures here have that AI-generated, psycho-Victorian weirdness to them…
… we think the cats are just standard SL mesh cats, but could be wrong…
… the guys on this table were our fave critters (:
