Currently, hung in my Soho gallery, are 8 images from my ‘Dream Fashion’ series…
… I really love these images…
… I love the rich detail…
… the lush palette…
… but what I like most…
… is the feeling of tranquility….
… and even bliss…
… that I get from these beautiful images.
Yesterday, Flutterbye and I visited beautiful Panjin…
… this is a wonderfully minimalist build…
… apparently based on a real location in China…
… it is mostly a vast sea of red plants…
… with just a few, perfectly placed objects…
… if you know me, you know I adore this type of scenery…
… the vast red plant field leads down to a small beach, into which several streams also flow from the red acres…
… apart from the red ground cover, it is very similar to any tidal estuary/plane my human has encountered in New Zealand, so we would imagine that high tide would cover this red verdancy…
… hence the boardwalk… the red growth must look amazing beneath the water…
… we stood and watched the frozen sunset…
… our back to a Martian field, in a world eternally approaching twilight.
As a way of making up for my recent neglect of her, I took my sweet little Lepidoptera to Kaleidoscope…
… which is a sanctuary for beautiful Monarch butterflies…
… and an educational resource…
… Flutter was delighted, she kept whispering ‘sisters…’, she knows they can’t hear her, I think she was just marvelling at so many similar, beautiful, fluttering creatures in one place…
… we ambled through the tidy walkways…
… everywhere the glory of these amazing creatures, the soft rustle of thousands of tiny wings…
… there is a cave behind this waterfall for you to explore…
… at the foot of the waterfall are happy critters…
… my baby and I had a lovely time here…
… and I’m pretty sure she’s forgiven me (:
I decided it has been far too long since I took Flutter exploring…
… so I took her to Natthimmel…
… ‘Isn’t this pretty, sweetheart?’ I asked her…
… she pretended not to hear. She only does that when she’s pissed at me…
… ‘Aww, baby, come here!’ I crooned, trying to catch her for butterfly cuddles, but she wouldn’t come close enough…
… ‘I’m sorry, my darling, I didn’t mean to leave you alone for so long’ I said…
… she still didn’t answer, but she came closer to me…
… eventually she whispered ‘I missed you’…
… ‘I’m sorry, Flutterbye, I’ll try to spend less time in Midjourney’ I replied, feeling pretty selfish…
… after a while she said ‘Yes, Seri, it’s very pretty here’…
… I’ve been so absorbed with Mj, these past months, I’d actually forgotten how much I enjoy photographing new destinations…
… and, of course, I’d left Flutter alone, all that time. I’ll have to make it up to her (:
Lizbeth Morningstar has a new exhibition at her Starborn Gallery…
… the gallery, itself, is a lovely piece of light and shadow, with gold-accented transparency the overall theme…
… I would describe Lizbeth’s previous work as ‘soft-focused whimsy’, with ‘Monet-like colours’, and I love her previous work. This work, however, while still soft-focus, and still wonderfully whimsical…
… has a far richer, colour-saturated palette which, if you are familiar with my own style, is a palette I adore…
… the opening for ‘Before Dawn’ is Saturday April 15, 7am-9am SLT, there will be a DJ.
Hey, everyone (:
I’ve never done this, before, but this is me requesting my followers to visit another avi’s blog. I’ve been following didiyuki’s blog for a while, now, and I just don’t understand why she doesn’t get more attention. She takes lovely, thoughtful photos which, to me, should be reason enough for more attention. Please go and show her some love (:
I put a new exhibition in my home gallery, today… it’s been a while, so it was nice to see new work, there. The exhibition is called ‘Slipstream’, and it’s most of the images from my last three posts…
… I love these images…
… I feel they are the strongest images I’ve so far created in Mj…
… especially this one, which is my favourite…
… but only by a little bit…
… I really like them all, I love the relative consistency of the character across multiple images…
… and I’ve totally succeeded in creating the kind of look I wanted…
… they are so strong, they are creating their own story.
We’re back! It’s been a very long time since Flutters and I visited a new destination, my obsession with Midjourney has mostly been to blame, but, it’s not like we don’t regularly check the Destination Guide, we simply haven’t seen much that grabbed us, and the few places we actually have been, were less than inspiring, until we discovered Hillvale, the other day…
… we were instantly smitten, this is totally our kind of place…
… the fabulous sky, the gorgeous neon, the apocalyptic grunge…
… it’s like Drune meets Tralala’s Diner, without the lag…
… beautiful colours, just the right amount of clutter and motion…
… not an element out of place…
… lots and lots of pretty photo opportunities…
… we spent a good half hour, here, just walking and stopping, and taking pictures…
… like I said, it’s the first sim we’ve visited for a long time that’s really grabbed our attention…
… well worth a visit…
… we strolled right to the end of the main street, where there is a beach. There are nice places to rent, here, too, but the rent is a bit out of our league, otherwise I’d seriously have considered renting here, just because it’s such a pretty place.
Toward the end of my Beach Bunnies/Weird Apocalypse project, I created these Zombie Bunnies. The Weird Apocalypse effected the bunnies in different ways. These ones didn’t get turned into actual bunny-analogs, unfortunately for them, the apocalypse just killed them, but in such a way that their brains didn’t realise it…
… this left them roaming the beaches, still. Although they were no longer their sharp-witted selves, they were still smart enough to notice that the sun was causing their previously gorgeous bodies to rapidly decay…
… so they all moved into the shallows, just off the beaches they so loved. They now spend their days eating fish, and roaming around, longing for volleyball games, and dance parties they can no longer go to…
… you can see these sad, decayed beauties at my Soho gallery (:
