Hi my friends. Wanted to Say Happy New Years!!!

Wanted to run something by you and see if I can get some helpful advice. I am going to be writing my Masters Thesis in Art History, on Art in Second Life. I would love some feedback. Here is a brief explanation of what I am thinking….

This study examines the global online art community of Second Life and discusses the diverse artists and artwork as a motivating force in todays postmodern artworld. This art community shares many similar traits with 1920’s behemian Paris, where artists converged in collaborative art scene….
Whether Second Life thrives and evolves or has a virtual death, the here and now of these artists is real. They strive to create, to collaborate, to experience, and explore. As Artists have done for centuries, they continue to use the tools that are available, technology that pushed boundaries.

Hi friends,

Trying to stay up later…its 1123pm sltime…  cuz I have been going to bed awfully damn early lately. Like 9pm…Geez Louise!!!!! Just wanted to toss some more of my snapshots from the flip side for all my friends to see. Not sure if there is any traffic here…but oh well. Its fun writing…anways.

Just remembering my early days in SL. This is Thalassa, where my aunt and uncle and I bought our first Island. You should see it now. Jordan owns it, and boy, has it change. But she is happy, and we are happy with our new Island…Or older Island…I guess we have been there more than a few months now.

More Shameless Self Promotion. Jordan made this amazing screen/poster for me for my space at Skyline Art Experience in Bellatrix. Just IM me if you want a landmark. Id be happy to send you one. Its an incredible space with 10 artists creating their own immersive atmospheres. Very Very Cool!!!! 

 My new friend Dickson and I dancing at Artisan Galleria sculpture garden. I am so lucky to have met him. A great singer/songwriter.. ‘an old soul’ he said he’s been called, so intelligent, funny… and a wonderful friend. Thank you so much. I am really looking forward to getting to know you better

This one speaks for itself!!!!!

Beautiful coral..under the dance floor… Can’t go wrong there….

This is ‘Out of Africa.’ One of my favorite movies…and there is a great African Sim too boot. I just donated some art for their auction on November 5, to help fight AIDS and poverty. Woooooo!!!!!!!!

OMG OMG OMG…. If you havent been here yet, you have got to go. This is called “The Far Away.” An art piece created by AM Radio. Let me know if you want a landmark. Sooo beautiful, surreal, amazing….all in the same breath…Just check it out..you won’t be sorry.

Ok…this is one of my best freinds in SL. Abel. What can I say…. Thank you so much for a great couple of weeks. Keep Blunting my freind, I don’t want to see No Bravery. It has been a great pleasure hanging out with you, getting to know you and dancing with you. I am looking forward to many more concerts together!!!!!

Ok…If you guys havent been here either….YOU HAVE GOT TO GO….This place is called Greenies….and if you don’t get it by looking at it here….You just don’t get it. Imagine..this picture takes up a whole Sim. Yep. You got it… Just IM me inworld for a landmark.

See ya soon!!!!!

Just a few snapshots from Second Life. Enjoy!!!!

And yes…I am logging off SL. Can you believe how early it is??? Yea… It’s better that way. I can actually do something productive in RL, like read for my thesis, or wait, even write it. Wow…what a concept.  Another day almost gone, and not much accomplished.

Ok….well..depends on who you ask. My boys at Cedars got a lesson in Art History. Yep.. I showed them images by DaVinci, Caravaggio and their friend Mapplethorpe. we even analyzed the punched hole in the Monet.

Yep, you heard it…some drunk punks broke into the Musee D’Orsay and punched a hole in a Monet. How sad is that

Anyways…It was a fun night. Hanging with the boys. I love you guys!!!! 

Greg said to me before I logged off, “You make Sl interesting.” Awwwww…How sweet is that. Thanks so much you guys.

You make my whole life interesting. And as i have said before, you are my family.  

Have a great Night…Ciao Bellas~~

Hi Friends…

This is gonna be short and sweet, as I have a thesis to write.

Oh, darn, who am I kidding…I can put it off till tomorrow. hahaha

Hopefully, when I get more time, I’ll start writing about the art and artists that make up this beautiful place we ‘live’ called secondlife.

Just wanted to say, thanks to all my friends and family in SL…you are so real and special and I cherish each and every one of you. (ok maybe not each and every one. hmmm..ok maybe only 1 of you…hehehe)  (And no not you Esch!!!!)

 I would totally add the links to all my friends wordpress blogs, but havent figured that part out yet. So help??

Have a great inworld day, and catch ya on the flip side.

Oh..and since as Erik says, I am still shamelessly self promoting myself… be sure to check out my website:  www.kristineschomaker.net
