Sometimes I seem to completely miss pictures on Flickr, of people I follow. I have no idea how that happens! It is why I only saw this morning this picture by Anita Witt, announcing the closing down of her beloved sim “Dryland“. I have, over the years, visited Dryland quite often as it is a…

Isla Okiddo
This afternoon when I logged in, I hoped to find some cool places to explore today – as I was in the mood for new places. To my surprise I found a notecard with an invitation sent by Liara ‘Kemicq’ Okiddo, inviting me to her sim Isla Okiddo (Adult rated), on which she has worked…
Once more to the boards
‘When we first started planning the production last year our intention had been for it to be performed on Valentine’s Day 2013. We weren’t thinking much beyond that. Little did we realise that we’d be performing for the 35th time – and final time at the Basilique – on Valentine’s Day 2014…. ‘ Reblogged from…
MIC: Trash by Mexi Lane
Two years ago Mexi Lane created an art installation in SL which was a rebuild of one of her real life paintings. This time she is doing the reverse experiment and built an installation, Trash, of which she will make a real life painting! Trash, on MIC Imagin@rium, is a wonderful composition of..well, trash. Houses…
Behind the scenes of Paradise Lost: Meet and Greet and lunch!
‘A lot has happened since the last time I paid a visit to the studio where the production of Paradise Lost is in full swing. Becky and Harvey, who work almost 24/7 to get the job done, told me this week has not been easy. Technical challenges of all kinds slowed things down at times,…
Dragon Curves
Dragon Curves, a full sim art installation on LEA26 by (Dutch) SL Artist Mac Kanashimi, is not – as I thought when I read the name – about Dragons as such, but turns out to be representation of the mathemathical Dragon Curve ! Mathematics, yeah that’s right. That usually has this effect on me…: Anyway,…

‘It is a real privilege to be the ‘behind the scenes reporter’ for Paradise Lost, as I get to see the latest developments and scenes on a regular basis. Every week I drop by, there is something new added to the production, Harvey and Becky seem to work 24/7 on it and it shows! This…
Behind the scenes of Paradise Lost – Trailer Trouble
‘It has been some weeks since my last visit to the studio’s of Paradise Lost, but yesterday I got an IM from Becky and Harvey inviting me over for a “Meet & Greet” with the actors who play God and Satan, during one of their breaks (or as Harvey sighed ‘one of their MANY, MANY…
Gates of Destiny
When browsing through Flickr and my list of blogs I follow this morning, some pictures and Lori Novo’s blogpost about Gates of Destiny caught my attention. I could not wait to log in and explore! Gates of Destiny, as the land info says: you create your own destiny, may seem dark and rather empty at…

Annwn Willows
[ A story still asleep. It dreams. ] This is the description from Annwn Willows, a gorgeous sim I have had on my list to visit for ages and finally this morning I went there. The difference with most other sims is..this has a beautiful setting completely underwater, but not in the “mermaid” style, so…
Roots and War – JadeYu Fhang
This morning I followed Ziki’s trail to Roots and War, an art installation by JadeYu Fhang, after I got intrigued by Ziki’s post and pictures. And also, I was in need of something without snow, ice and ‘ho ho ho!!’… Roots and War is impressive and best seen in the regional windlight (verdigris), although I…
