Opening at Ice Caverns Art Gallery

After a few weeks of hybernating, I am definitely back in action. One of the main reasons is my new show, starting tomorrow at noon SLT at the Ice Caverns Art Gallery in the Alpine Executive Center. I will be showing brand new work. A new series called 'feathers' in continuation of my focus on SL-nature series. I am very honored to be invited by such a fine gallery, following in the footsteps of many famous SL-artists. The show opens at 12 pm (noon) SLT and I hope to see many of you there. It's also a chance to celebrate the art of four other wonderful sl-artists in this thrilling setting. If you want to know more about Ice Caverns Art Gallery, click here. Or see videos of their past shows. See you there!

The Burn2-project is well under way

Not much time left until the Burn2-Festival opens. October 16 is the big day. For all the artists and builders involved this is a extremely busy, but also fun and rewarding time. Aeonia Artist Group has - as I previously said - 5 plots and 1 theme camp to fill. And our project is well under way. All plots are coming to live - one of them even is close to completion.

Unfortunately I cannot show you any of the work we have done so far, due to burn2-regulations. But what I can show you is: Burners (as the people involved with the Burning Man are called) don't only work hard. They party hard, too. A big chunk of them took time off last night to come together to film the trailer-machinima for the Burn2-festival. And they were burning for sure! It's just an amazing bunch of hugely creative people coming together to create what has been - and hopefully will remain to be - one of Second Life's benchmark events. Expect to be amazed, when the doors of the two week long - open 24 hours a day - festival are opened. See robots, ants, crawlers, dancers, crazy vehicles, architechture, stories and lots and lots and lots of fire. And above all: be at some of the events running 24/7 at the four Burn-sims.

Burn 2 is coming! YAY!

Haven't posted anything here in a long while. Well, too many happenings inworld have kept me busy. But the ones following my art have probably seen my latest exhibitions.
For instance at my Main Gallery or maybe at the all new location of SLACC or Tiatopia  (which are both on the SL-Destination Guide now) or my small shows at Park Galleries or Gualdo.

New RL-Pictures

I have decided to also show a couple of my rl-picture sets. I will talk about these later on. Just this much: A small selection of pictures from the Hawaiian Islands of Kauai and Molokai can presently (Sept./Oct.) be seen at the A.R.T. Gallery at New Boston. Please pay the show a little visit as with Autopilotpaddy Poopy and Mary Rosebud two other great artistshave their work on display.

And now off to BURN2

Now...not trying to be overly excited...but then I am. The new Burn 2 Festival is approaching and the Aeonia Arts Group is part of it!
As regulations go, I cannot and will not tell you much about it. Just this little bit: Aeonia Arts Group has won a Theme Camp and aditionally has 5 plots under it's control. So we are going big. All six plots will be running within the same theme which we have developed over the past weeks. On the left side you can see a picture of Ally Aeon and me exploring the (still empty) plots that we got.
BURN 2 is going to be a great experience for all of us, as we have never pulled off something this big as a group - not even with our haiti-fundraiser at the start of the year.
So definitely mark October 16 through 25 in your calendars and go to http://www.burn2.org/ for more information.
In the mean time visit us at Aeonia where there is always plenty of great art to be seen.
BTW: Aeonia Artist Group besides me and Ally is: Penelope Parx, Pete Jiminy, Nik Gandt, Miki Bizet, lala Lightfoot, Visceral Dreamscape plus a growing number of Guest Artists that pay us a visit and work with us.

Preparing my Exhibition

If I look at the date of my last entry, I can see how time flies again. I consider this a good thing, though. It shows, that I have been busy creating new art pieces. Bringing a few exiting new ideas to life. My last project turned out nicely, in my opinion at least. So I decided to dress up my gallery to present them to a wider audience. I am now quite close to opening this new exhibit. A few notecards are to be written, a few little things adjusted and tweaked. I hope my new stages called "Weathered Gods" will make the same strong impression on my visitors as they did on me.
