Avatar Envy

After my run-in with the "fly-by bunny" I decided I needed a non-human avatar for a change. I ran across this avatar on "Second Life of My Dreams" and had to visit this avatar store. They had so many wonderful creations. I ultimately settled on this cool fish in a rocket ship bowl. I love how the pink of the fish matches my studio. :-) I even have a teeny treasure chest, starfish and chess game in the bowl. So many cool details. The store is owned by Yeti Bing and Yoa Ogee. If you're bored with your regular avatar, this store has something different for you. :-)

When Bunnies Fly?

Hanging out in my Artropolis studio the other night, I happened to see a bunny fly by. I'd never witnessed a "bunny fly-by" so I invited him to stay awhile. He dropped in and we ended up dancing and talking for a good bit. I loved his avatar, so cute. :-)

Virtual Artist Alliance PhotoHunt

1st Place-Veronica Quackenbush


2nd Place-Corcosman Voom (my personal favorite)


3rd Place-Leah Arashi

The Virtual Artist Alliance Group puts on PhotoHunt every Thursday. It's a great game that all creatives would enjoy. They give you a theme and or landmark and you have an hour to take one photo that has been taken at the space that was chosen. This week the place was: Privateer Space (188, 181, 26). The theme was: Explore the Reaches of Space. Then all participants or people at the event get to vote. Join Virtual Artist Alliance to receive notices of the next contest.

New Gallery for SL Artists

I read over at Shoshanna's Musings where she has opened a gallery for new artists in SL that are 90 days or younger and are not showing their art anywhere else in SL. She will allow new artists to stay for 3 months then rotate out. Sounds like a good opportunity for starving artists in world. Go check it out.

Second Life Dumpster Exhibit

I read about this exhibit on the Virtual Artist Alliance blog and it sounds intriguing. It's an art project called, "SL Dumpster". An artist group called eteam wants you to come leave your SL trash on their land. They take pictures and blog about the project here. In reading the beginning and the evolution of the dumpster site it really makes you think about RL waste and "where does it all go?". Hopefully you will visit and leave some trash of you own.

Mossie in Artropolis!

As I mentioned earlier in the blog, I finally have a studio space in Artropolis!




I wanted to show "before" and "after" photos to have a record of progress. In the second and third photos you can also see where I'm located in relation to other nearby Artropolis artists: Filthy Fluno (Lower Left), RAG Randt (Top Center), and IanLee Patton (Lower Right). I'm so excited to be here as I've been a fan of the sim for some time.

Me and Tammy Connelly, owner of Artstonia & the Poetry in Pixels Gallery

Got a group message from one of my art groups from Tammy Connelly, owner of Poetry in Pixels Gallery and the sim it resides in, Artstonia, about a call for submissions for her art show coming up May 10. I'm submitting seven pieces for the upcoming show. You can see us standing in front of two of my watercolors, "Butterfly Wings" and "Bugs".

Overview of Kinningly

Here's an overview of the area where the new studio is located. Click here to come visit the studio.

Mossie Design Studio New Location!

Mossie Design Studio has a new location in Kinningly! I sold my 1024 plot of land in Solchan and found a great small location with a wonderful view! If you look at my classified ad in my profile, you can find the location there. I'm on the water and look out toward the sim of Knowlesworth with a beautiful beach and art community over there. Come by and visit!

[NEWS: In the coming month, if everything goes as planned I will also have a studio in Artropolis! I'll post some photos as that project gets underway.]

Art Show at AngelGate Gallery

May 1 through June 12 at AngelGate: RADIANCE, Black and Bright. 5 shows of RL and SL art with with sense of mystery and illumination. This is me standing next to Bau Ur the curator. This is my piece called "Sunflower Cutout". Search AngelGate for the location.
