.jpg) For
those of you not in the know, Second Life is an online community
created by its residents. The possibilities for creative outlet in
Second Life are literally limitless. There are people who build houses,
furniture, musical instruments, cars, boats, robots, dragons, technology
and shoes. There are clothing designers, "skin" designers, avatar
designers, landscapers and scientists. And my personal favorite....
there are artists. Second Life is a natural draw to the creative and
curious.
 It all starts from the moment you first log on. You stand there, your Avatar (the digital version of you) is just like all the other Avatars, a blank slate. You start out, changing your hair color, adding muscles, slimming down, bulking up. Then you tweak the shape of your nose, make your lips a little fuller, eyes a little smaller. Each Avatar becomes a work of art of its own. There are the Barbie™ figures and the macho manly men, but there are furry Avatars, wolves, bears, cats and more. Blue people! Scaly people! I have personally seen dragons, dinosaurs, Santa, a chimpanzee smoking a cigar, Mr. Potato Head™ and a naked fat guy. Your appearance is truly only limited by your imagination. |

I
wandered onto SL shortly after hearing news report on NPR. I just sort
of randomly explored for a few days, and got some friends interested.
Then one of my friends meets a guy who helps people open art galleries
in Second Life. He introduced us, as my friend knows that I am an
artist. Before you know it, I'm full swing into opening an Art Gallery!
Me! What was I thinking??? Turns out, it's actually been a pretty great
experience. There are so many artists and art lovers in Second Life, I
meet new great people every day, and I have come to enjoy helping others
get their art into the world. Want to keep up to date on news happening
around Second Life? Check out this news website!
Since
I have been opening my gallery to more and more artists, my own art has
taken a back seat. So, now I am out to find new places to show it! Watch
here for new shows and locations!
