One of my favorite SL artist...

is Eves Rodenberger. She is awesome..hmm, well I never met her, but I lover her work :). Eves is besides Monroe Snook, one of a bunch of SL artists, which I adore. I could name u a hundred more! Some of their art I can say, I understand what they want to express, but some I haven't any clue :(. Last week I got a group notification from Studio 33. Of course, I had to go there and to look at them :).

I also met a cute little guy, which welcomed me. Heck! Is he cute, but after he showed me his tongue..he wasn't cute anymore, more like a sassy guy :). But anyway.....

After I passed this little, sassy puppy, with his sunglasses, I went thru the gallery. I like it, to walk thru galleries and to look at the different works from artists. Then I found Rodenberger's.

I like the way she uses windlight :). She is really an inspiration to me an dI guess to a lot of others in SL. When you google her name, the result is amazing! She is one of the top artists!

I hope you enjoy her work as I do :). Visit Studio 33! Eves isn't the only artist there and they are all worth a look :). Enjoy!

Take a bow

You all know, how much I adore one of SL top photographer's, Monroe Snook. I remember, when I saw her art on Koinup. It was amazing. I couldn't stop looking at her art. She was one, which inspired me, to try SL photography with different windlight settings and now I'm addicted to it :).
A while ago, on 3th of July this year, the Zanphoria Gallery & Studio, which is located in the Avalon Art District of Tabula rasa, invited Monroe Snook to present her SL and RL photography art. Oh, Sapphoria Shilova, the owner of the gallery knows exactly who she invited ;). On the 2nd floor you find Monroe Snook's RL work and at the entry of the gallery are her SL work.

"Many of Monroe's works are award winning from various SL photo and Koinup SL photo contests. Her work has been featured in many blogs, SL magazine articles and SL Best of Best. She is a featured artist of Avatriat, has illustrated short stories, and has exhibited a few pieces SL photography in RL galleries. She is also a featured artist at the Museum of SL Photograhy, Orange Island, and part of a permanet exhibit at SL campus of Loyola Marymount University"

-- Monroe Snook's Information Notecard

It's hard to show you all her wonderful work, is it RL or SL :). Better you have a look on your own, because each of us has another view for art. For me she is one of the best and also others think that ;). So Eves Rodenberger and Monroe Snook are my inspiration ;). I know, I will never be so fantastic or will take such stunning pictures, but it' s good to have people, which inspire you.

Topic for Tuesdya

Blogger's Choice! Write about anything you want!

Hehe, na this isn't so easy as it sound :) Soooooo...Ha! I want you to show you my new bedroom. I got a very precious gift from one of my closest friends. A new bed! Loool Yeah! No kidding! It looks awesome! Not that my old one looked boring or so, no! The new one is a "The Loft" bed, so any questions now? No? So all of you know about the adorable furnitures at "The Loft"? Good! Because the creator is a amazing, adorable, great, a genius! Colleen Desmoulins, hmmm the name alone sounds after creativity and competence.

Once I remeber, Krissy, which is now the CSR at "The Loft", showed me the little store. That was easily months ago loool. And now? Look, how BIG it got! WOW! Normally I haven't any interest in furniture or so, when I have a SL gf I let her free hand in furnitures and how the house should look, because I want that she feels comfy :). And so I'm not a specialist in prefabs and the whole furniture product line. But I can say, I love "The Loft"! Loool *dk*

Honestly, I don't know why she gifted me with a PG one?! Looool Well, I think she only takes care of me :). She knows how breakable my heart is. But anyway, I finally removed my old one and also the other furniture, which I bought at "Oasis Furniture" and came with all in one box. So very handy for guys like me loool. Maybe I should have a look for a SL gf? Which styles my house?! Hmmmm....NO! If I need help I have my lovely BFF :) I hope one day she doesn't get annoyed from all the IM's (Sorry, Babe)

I also have to say, hunts are not so bad :). I'm just into the MHOH (Make Him Over Hunt), ok, ok, at the moment I'm stucked at the NOSOTR@S store. Pfff I don't find this silly sign *sigh* But I don't give up :) Because the prizes are awesome, skins, animations, poses, clothes, eyes! And all these from very good designers :) and so good quality freebies :).

Bed: The Loft - Sharon Platform Bed (PG) Touch Pillows for color menu and mattress for animations (only 21 prims!)

Little frame: Photo frame M slider 2 prims colour script on http://www.xstreetsl.com/

Picture behind the bed: House on the Hill - Monroe Snook (one of my favorite Sl artist, besides Eves Rodenberger, join her group "Art Maniacs" and you will recieve a lot of useful information about art and also group gifts :))

Clothes: Pants !ZB: Zoo Jeans [Navy] found at Zoobong & Caliente, Alphamale - Polo shirt - Brown promotional item 1 (gift from the MHOH) found at Alphamale & Blacklace (since 2007 in SL) and the necklace I found at LacieCakes awwww it's such a cute one :)

Describe...?!?!

Describe what your perfect Second Life day would be like. Hmm, this is todays topic at BBBC 2009. *sigh* My perfect SL day...Wow, I thought the whole day about this, but it is really hard loool So well, I will start with a day off of RL work, getting something to drink, preparing for a wonderful, relaxing day in SL on my couch ;) And now the important click on my mouse and...ta tarata!!! SL viewer is open and tries to get a handshake with the region, where I want to log in...normally my home position ;)

Everything is rezzing slow :( Na, I'm using my laptop for SL, so no wonder that it is soooooo slow. After checking out my baby chickens, which are btw. soooooo cute and so handsome. I'm used, when I log in, to go downstairs of my adorable, but very empty looking house :(, to my cute chickens and then I stay in the middle of my living room and wait until they come to me and cuddle with my feets. Once I visited the chickens of my friend and she told me they don't like her, they always try to escape...Hmmm, maybe the reason is, because you have them outside, locked in a little space. And I think it is the same with women, one or two in a room are handy, but more as 2 is very dangerous :) It could be that they don't like each other..That they are jealous, because one has a better looking as the other one, or the other one has a softer skin as the other one...well, who know's what they are thinking.

Oooohhhh! Na, better back to my topic of this day :) Ok, I'm already logged into SL and my cute chickens made me feel loved. Fact at the moment they are the only one which make me feeling this, but anyway. That's another pair of shoes ;) I seldom have a look on my friendslist to see who is online. So I'm very excited when I get an IM :) So now don't hestitate to IM me (you know now how much i love it KIDDING!)

My perfect SL day is this day, when I have a faster, better computer with an amazing graphic card and high speed internet access :) Ok, this is now a dream loool No, I always try to make each time/day in SL perfect :) I hang out with my dear friends, play the truthball (created by Leesa Donner) This truthball game is wonderful, it is the perfect thing to know each other better, because you have to answer the questions with all one's heart.

And the questions are very funny ;) You should try it! I like to visit new places and there is nothing better, as to walk around and take your time for getting a perfect view for a picture :) Yes, I need my time for the perfect shot. Well, I don't know, maybe I'm used to it, but I go there by my own. Let my avatar standing and cam around to find a good view. Then I try different windlight settings for skies and water. And of course THIS finally takes their time. Oh and when I'm done I'll change to my NEW! Photoshop version 7! Awwww I'm so excited with it, until now I used Photoshop 6 and you can't do all with it :( And so I had to make changes, this was one of it :)

Annnnnnd later, when I'm done, I have a look at some romantic ballroom places. No, not for that what you think! I seldom, very seldom dance! Pffff Oh well, with the years I feel it in my legs, you know? And so I prefer to stand a little bit far away from the dancefloor and then I do that, what I never thought I would do. I read profiles! Loooool Yeah, I become a profile stalker! There are so many good ones, interesting ones and it is perfect to find new interesting places. So I think this all describes very well my vision of a perfect SL day ;)

OH! I almost had forgotten the most important thing, which makes a SL day to a perfect one....to see and to talk to my BFF :) Yes! this all is all I need for a perfect SL day.....Folks, thank you for reading this topic and to be still in front of you screens...Hmmm *knock knock* HEY! Wake up! The post is done! :)

RP in SL

Some days ago I decided to try out some RP (roleplay). I had a look at some RP sims and came to the result. I do western RP. ;) Well, I had my western outfit already in my inventory and so no need to purchase and spend a lot of L$ in new things. The first western RP sim was great! A lot of people, sim crashing, a lot of lag, new weapons and and and...So after searching for new weapons, I got tired. The sim, where the shops were, was laggy and so unsorted :( I ran around like a headless chicken! Pfff And after the sim crashed I decided to have a look at the next western RP. By accident I tp'd to the Wyoming Territory. My friend Kaja joined me and together we walked around. We were so impressed about the landscaping. Kaja told me there are 11 different sims! Oh wow! And they are so amazing. You have to see it on yourself. The founder and creators of these sims made a very good job. ;) At the arrival station you can get your "Observer" tag or you use the "Cripple Creek Meter". The RP time is "Victorian", so of course you have to wear the right clothes. Ladies, no blinging boots or mini skirts! :) I know some girls love to wear them day and night lool Btw. I'm not a fan of such girls, I prefer the cute, causual look ;) *vd*

With the "Observer" tag and the "Cripple Creek Meter" you also get the rules, textures, what is allowed and what not, weapons and fight HUD. So a lot of free important stuff. I remember at one RP, which I tried out once, I had to buy a lot Pff But here you get it for free. ;) After you attached all the important things, you are allowed to feel free and walk around. But don't forget! After you entered the RP, you have to stay in role. You are now at Savage Frontier 1860. Don't be scared about all the notecards titled with "rules" ;) There isn't a lot to read about it and that what you read, trust me, you will love :) It is a NO DRAMA ZONE. At one point I'm not sure about the rules :( They are writing, "Basic guideline: If something wasn't around in the 1860's, it's not available in role play either." But did a chewing gum vendor exist at the year 1860?!?! Hmm, I think I have to research that.
Anyway, we walked around and the people here are very friendly and nice ;) And the place isn't overrun. Which I really appreciate ;) For people which would like to explorer new things in SL is this the best place to sneak into RP. And it is an amazing place to take pictures too :) Come and relax at the stunning beauty....

Summer Harmony

Each friday I get a notecard about which new interesting places are hot in SL. Today I got nosy of Summer Harmony and tried to walk around. This sim is adorable and fantastic. The sim is created in beach style and there are several caves to explorer and to buy, waterfall included ;) Well, I didn't walk a lot around, because I got a little bit laggy :( And so I can't really tell you if it is really such a romantic place, because all I saw, were waterfall caves for rent or for sale?!? Of course a love bed included pfff It is indeed worth a visit, because it is an amazing place to take photos. Detailed trees, palms, waterfalls and bridges invite you for long walks, alone or with company, this one is something what you have to decide :) Come and see on yourself!

Inspiration...

Inspiration is the key to everything in life. Well, you only should be prepared and see the signs, but that is another pair of shoes. ;) The last days I got filled up with inspiration and I would like to show you my lastest works :) Also you can find it at Koinup too :) I hope you will enjoy it so much as I enjoyed it to take it....

If you are interested in one of my works and would like to purchase one, please feel free to contact me through my email K.Ordinary@gmail.com ;) Thank you!!

Get lost at Opar

Are you nosy? Like me? Yes? Hmm, then you should visit Opar! A virtual massage for your soul. A romantic hide out for you and your love one, your special one. Arm in arm amble through the wide meadows of Opar. Enjoy the silent and the fantastic atmosphere brings you in a better mood, flying up to the highest point of Opar, standing there and inhale this free, honest air. :) I really enjoyed my visit at Opar and I'm sure you will too. Find the Hidden Forest, take a walk to Opar's Wild Shore and fall in love with such an adorable creation by Mariko Nightfire and Kaja Lurra. Surrounded by wild flowers, tall grasses and realistic trees, starts your walk. ;)

The Southpoint Yacht Club, a stunning italian villa, invites you and your beloved one to a dance under the amazing japanese lanterns. Coffee tables want you to take a seat and relax with a cup of delicious coffee. ;)

The name for Mariko's sim is easily to explain :) Opar is a fictional lost city in Edgar Rice Burrough's series of Tarzan novels. And Opar is a great place to hone your photoshop and windlight skills ;)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAJA!!!!

It was such an adorable, lovely, gorgeous party! Mariko Nightfire and Jaysun Dagger organized a great party on Mariko's sim Opar. What an amazing sim! Btw. created also by Kaja Lurra ;) Surprised?! I'm not loool Together with Mariko, Kaja designed a wonderful, inspiring sim. And these lovely, japanese lanterns. Awwww! We started at the meadow behind the Southpoint Yacht Club. We got the order to bring our horses with us. Well, when I get such an order, I want to wear the best matching outfit ;) And so it happened that I spend almost my whole afternoon in searching for the best clothes. I checked out each possibility. But it is, indeed, very hard to find clothes which I have on my mind. I wanted to look awesome, handsome, with a little sparkling of dangerous. Looool I delved among websites, tp'd from one shop to the other one, until I found the right outfit :)

I was really sad, because I love to take pics, but the more people on a sim, the more my graphic card doesn't like it. And so I only can look on Kaja's friends blog ;) But they took wonderful pics of the unique moments of Kaja's Birthday party.
See them on Mariko's and Lessa Donner's blog ;) Girl's? I adore your pictures!!! Thank you so much for a wonderful, memorable evening with Kaja's friends ;)

Designing Worlds - Matanzas

Well, yesterday I told you about on of the famous designer of SL. Kaja Lurra was on the show Designing Worlds and she was great! She surprised the tv team with a hidden rainforest, with an adorable mediation place and impressive waves. The island is open for public and you are welcome to join a walk through the rainforest, in case you find them :), and to dance under an amazing made flora. You have to pay attention on the shadows. The lightly moving of the palms reflects on the ground. I never saw before such a detailed work!
In case you missed the show or don't know where to find it. Here is the link :) Designing Worlds - Matanzas. Enjoy it, you will be surprised how lovely a home can look ;)

Welcome to Sheriwood

My dear friend invited me to an exploration through the forests of Sheriwood. I'm nosy and so I joined her :) Well, before you get there, you should really change your clothes. Loool The elves didn't look very excited when I got there in my jeans, shirt and baseball cap ;) But no worries, you can get free clothes for female and male at the welcome area. The places, Tirion Upon Tuna & Tirion Hunting Forest, are lovely! Walking through the nature, explorering hidden caves. Please be carefully! There are dragons! No, I'm not kidding! Per accident we fell in a dragon cave and there were pieces of the last victim. The best part of their philosophy is: "It is forbidden in our lands to destroy life." The RP based on the books and stories of the literary works of Tolkien.

After my feet started to hurt, we decided to sit down and let flow our both impressions.

Sheriwood lives in harmony with a group of loosely-related Sims known as the Builders of Arda (BoA). It is, indeed, worth a trip! The inspiration and the love for details reflects at these places.

I just found back...

to my lovely photography :) The whole day I hop in and out of SL, finding new places and check out my old ones. Here some of my new works:

I call it "feeling orange" :) taken at Error
Error, is one of my favorite places to take pictures, it is a small island, not many people there and NO LAG! loool

This one I took at Mystery, an English village with small clothes, furniture shops. There you can find 7seas :)
All my pictures are also on Koinup....

How long didn't I post?!?!?!

Hmm, I'm sure over some weeks ago :) Well, I have to confess, I needed the time. RL kept me busy and SL didn't fit in my life. So I took some weeks off :) But! Yesterday, I thought about my blog when I met this girl in SL. She is amazing! Her work adorable! And so I decdided to reopen my blog again. I want to show you her work. Kaja of Sweden photography! Her RL and SL art is amazing. Per accident we met loool no news I always meet interesting people per accident :) We started to talk and later she showed me her gallery in SL. I was so fascinated that I had to buy a work of her. We talked about Koinup too, where she uploaded her SL pictures. Kaja loves to explorer SL and when she finds interesting places which catches her eyes, she takes pictures of it. Well, who not?! Loool Visit her gallery and have a look on her Koinup site ;) I bet you will be fascinated too :) It's amazing how SL brings people together *ivd*
I will start soon back to my old blog schedule, all needs their time ;)

Koinup

My favorite site to upload pictures :) in only some hours you can see, if the pictures are good or bad and this I love on "KOINUP"! You get good and serious comments and also when you need help, there are a lot which are professionals and show you what else you can change on your pictures. It isn't only a way to publish your SL shots, NO! It's a communciation site. If you never heard of "KOINUP" check it out, I'm sure you will love it :) My last post:

"Dreaming" by K. Ordinary

I only set up a shadow in Photoshop and thats it ;) I only worked complitly with SL windlight. For the lightings I used body lights. The shot was taken at "Error".
