Spring is my favourite season of all, despite being an Autumn-child. I just love that the trees will be getting green leaves soon and I get all excited to see tulips and daphodils allover the place here :). I haven’t had the most brilliant start of this spring though, due to a stupid back injury…

Insanity – by Cherry Manga
This morning I visited Cherry Manga’s latest art installion on MetaLES: Insanity. A beautiful piece of art, yet it can be quite disturbing. It represents what is going on in the mind of a person suffering mental illnes, so visitors are confronted with confusion, paranoia, fear and delusions. However, do not let this serious topic…
Little Village by Cica Ghost
‘The quirky homes in Cica Ghost’s Little Village stand tilted on little hillocks, some single, some in little clusters, their shapes silhouetted against the sepia sky. It is a village for people, or only for the cats peeking out from the windows ?’ This is the information given about Cica Ghost’s latest art installation: Little…
Behind the scenes of Paradise Lost – Props, props and props!
Originally posted on Basilique:
It has been a while since my last report, so yesterday I decided to have a look at the studio and see if I could find something interesting to show you all. I arrived in an empty studio, which looks impressive even when there is nothing going on! Hello? Anybody there??…
A goodbye to Dryland
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,…
Today it is all Black and White
My love for Black and White pictures is probably not a secret to anyone who has seen my Flickr stream, I love B&W and Sepia portraits. I will admit, in some cases I use it to ‘pimp up’ a nice shot that did not turn out as great as I thought, and in B&W it…
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,…
Behind the scenes of Paradise Lost – Photobombers
‘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…
