    Consider this week’s Second Life Destination Guide Highlights  blog to be the Pumpkin Spiced flavored blog of the season! With the arrival of Autumn, all those frothy cinnamon-scented coffee drinks make perfect sense, and so do the beautiful colors taking over homes, hunts, and stores in Second Life.
    Get a little twisted in one of the most challenging hunts on the grid, pick up a few mystically-charged fantasy items, shop for a little decor, or just explore and see what others are up to inworld. We’ll see you there!

    With the Freedom Project and his Global 3D Art & Machinima competition, JayJay Zifanwe and the University of Western Australia in Second Life encourage people to express themselves through their stories via art and machinima created in Second Life. Recently, WAtoday wrote an article about JayJay’s incredible Second Life re-creation of the UWA’s Crawley physical campus  - showing how this virtual space created a ripple effect - impacting the lives of people who could otherwise only dream of visiting such a place. The UWA in SL serves as the home base for artists and others to come together and participate in many projects.

     
    In this episode of the Drax Files, artists discuss the process of self-expression through artistic creativity in Second Life, and JayJay shares insights on some of the ways this medium has empowered people in unexpected ways. Watch the video , or in the embed below.

    One of Second Life Residents’ favorite holidays is coming up at the end of next month - but that doesn’t mean we can’t start celebrating Halloween now! We’re already seeing a ton of spectacular haunts being submitted to the Destination Guide, and now we’re looking for some of your great inworld images!.
    Share your Halloween themed images, and your work could be featured in an upcoming email or banner campaign - with your avatar name credited of course! Do you like to dress your avatar up in costumes - travel the haunted spots all over Second Life, and generally run amok during this time of year? Why not show off your fun with images?
    Share your pic on our Official Flickr Page with the tag “SLHalloween2015” so that we can see all of your amazing works. You may submit as many as you like between now and September 28th, 2015.
    We’ll showcase the chosen image(s) in an email to Residents, as well as in some banner campaigns. We’ll let the chosen image creators know via Flickr and ask for an avatar name for the credits.
    Tips for your submissions:
    Make sure that your submissions are appropriate for all audiences. Show your avatar or avatars in a scene inworld - an image that tells a story is going to make an impression. Keep your image free of additional text/logos Higher resolution images work best. Good luck and get to haunting!
