We create new worlds

• It is my fav gallery but I did not get it.

  Ha ha I never got this before. PI rats. I always thought it had something to do with pirates. It was a nice visit. Ty Apmel for the link. Apmels blog There are so much great art these days it is amazing.

• Second life as the last free artist space.

  As I explore the Second life art scene. I find that many of the SL artists do not use their real life names. As I pro artist myself I always have to market myself. You have to if you want to stay alive. It is the name of the game. I even have a avatar with my real life name on it. I suppose that all these really good artist in SL do other things in RL and SL is a great way to get a artistic outlet. I am amazed, how good all these artists are. It really makes me as a pro to shape up and try to do even better things. That is really hard. I have also noticed that the most of these artists have a female avatar. I think that maybe Second life is the place for many female artists to create and more important to show their art. I know myself how difficult it is to get a exhibition as a woman. I love that SL is a place where both women and amateurs get a chance to show their creativity. In a real world where this is often frowned up on. And the work is often of very high quality.

• Osgrid looks like Second life.

  I have started exploring the OSgrid and I find that it starts to look like SL. Really great builds, bad builds and ordinary areas. Some of the sims are not available but many in the core are and you can travel around and find more and more great builds. And there are many former Second life builds that show up on the OSgrid. It is cheaper and you have a full sim to build on. You can realize many more ideas. And the hypergrid idea is good, to visit several grids and that way get more people on all grids. What is needed now is a way to rent out space on Opensim grids making them more commercial and some actors that take copyright issues serious so you can trust them to put your stuff on their grid. Or a way for Opensim to get objects from other trusted servers where you can rent some space for the things you create so they never leave to get copied every where. I think it is important that you own your avatar and things you create. I see good things in the future for all the grids out there.
