"Sam Rougefeu is the kind of Second Life Flickr photographer that SL residents should be following. He travels around and takes pictures and gives us SLURLS and short descriptions of where he has been. For example, this delightful robin image is a potential “Is It Live or Is it Second Life?” challenge question. I love it when artists don’t focus solely on the grand vistas but also hone in on the little details that make our world so delightful." Read more on the blog

"Charly Starsider posted this lovely and romantically soft and dreamy picture of herself looking just over her shoulder. Purists object to using a lot of bokeh, but I’m not a purist. I think bokeh can be very dramatic and romantic."

"Laerka’s “Whatever Sprinkles Your Donut” made me laugh because its liberating message with donuts reminded me that ten years and one month before the Stonewall Riots commemorated in #Pride month, the purported first gay uprising took place at a donut shop in Los Angeles. Donuts were thrown! And like Stonewall, it was led by people who are trans and by drag queens. So, let's never forget the letter T in the liberation alphabet." Read more on the blog

"Matty King’s “It’s a Beautiful War” is a quintessential picture from his stream that flows with one striking portrayal after another of a guy who is a perfect character for a noir film. You know, the stranger who walks into a bar and all the conversation stops as tension builds because you know the bar’s resident tough guy will be compelled to confront him and then back down. And of course, the stranger wasn’t interested in taking over the bar’s toughest customer position, he was just thirsty." Read more on the blog

"SL - Beauty of Sailing is a small group with just over 500 members who celebrate the sailing world. Sailing is one of the first things I did in Second Life with a 1 Linden sailboat from EnkyThings. I know there are fancy ones that respond to the winds of the the Linden Ocean, but I do love my 1 Linden sailboat." Read more on the blog

"Zaque Hexem’s surreal art might make you ask, “But is it Second Life?” 

He answers in the most Second Life way possible; he provides SL content credits. “Hot Toast” (above) is wildly inventive. Seriously, who thinks, “I have this beautifully engraved skeleton, I think I’ll  make some toast.”  Zaque, obviously, but who else?"

A dynamic installation built around what I understand to be a scripted particle system of their own design (and called, appropriately, Bloom), mixed with 2-dimensional elements also under scripted management."

"Shoko Tachikawa shoots storytelling pictures that are so charming. Here she is holding a bow and arrows made of metal with very little fletching which makes me wonder how well they fly. But in Second Life, that sort of thing does not matter. Scripts will make it fly. I love this picture, the contemplative look." Read more on the blog
