The Artists Park

Wyatt Benoir has announced the re-opening of the Artists Park with a gala this Saturday May 3rd at 2pm. The first to exhibit at the new location will be Ryker Beck. She will be selling ten exclusive, never-before-seen pieces at the show! 50% of all proceeds will be donated to Relay for Life. The fantastic DJ Nexeus Fatale will be spinning the tunes.



Knowing Ryker I'm sure there will be quite the crowd there. I for one will be stopping by for sure.

Go there straight from here

Update ! I got word this morning that, and I quote "Until further notice The Artist's Park Opening is postponed due to equipment problems and artist booking."
The opening should be soon anyway. I'll keep you posted.


Stiletto Moody

Also on Saturday the winners of the Stiletto Moody picture contest "Picture Your Moods" will be announced. I got an invitation for the Gala Awards Night. Whether or not that means my picture made it to the final 23 out of the 416 submitted I'm not sure. I guess we'll see tomorrow...


I'm still sorry I couldn't get my drag picture finished in time to submit it :-)


Windlight at Koinup

For those interested in SL photo contests there is still time to submit your work for the "Koinup Windlight Contest" until May 7th. All Second Life Citizens are invited to take part in this contest and submit their "windlighted" photos! The Contest is brought to you by Koinup, Torley Linden, Pastrami Linden and Vint Falken. Some of the coolest work already submitted can be seen here.

With 3 times 20 000 $L to be won I guess it's worth a shot. More info and the rules on Koinup.

In keeping with tradition: a day late...

Ladies First

I've seen a number of initiatives announced for this weekend. One that certainly drew my attention is this one:


Seeing some of the names this is going to be something you absolutely shouldn't miss!!
Sorry for stealing your picture Silver but I couldn't have done it better and after all it's for a good cause ;-)

Looker

Compatriot and fellow blogger/flickerite Looker Lumet is showing his pictures at Portucalis until the end of March. I haven't had the time to visit myself but I'm sure it's more then worth a visit.

Windlight presets

We all love Windlight right? There are a few presets you can use as a starting point for your own experiments in the environment editor. Thanks to a tip from Kynne Llewellyn I found out omnipresent Torley has made a collection of extra sky and water presets available. I haven't had time to play around with them but Mylena Aquitaine has.


Doesn't get more Torley than this I guess :-)

There is a zip available with the preset xml files you can manually put into the correct folders and an executable. A word of caution though: if you use the executable make sure to change the install directory to the Release Client during the install because by default the files are put in the obsolete Windlight client.

Thanks for letting me use this picture Mylena.
