Second Life has offered me the opportunity to explore personae and places that, frankly, would be impossible in real life. From mermaid, to intrepid space traveler, to tourist at exotic ports of call across the grid.. I’ve had the opportunity to visit recreations of the greatest cities of our time, and of times past and future, to locations that could only exist in the mind of an artist.
I am an artist in real life. I take things that other people have discarded; dissect them, then put them together in new ways, and then I paint them. I end up with something that is unique in this world.
In this world I can go even further: I can re-invent myself using shapes, skins, hairstyles, eye colours, body parts.. and put it all together in a way that is uniquely me. I hope you enjoy this exhibit, which is partly retrospective: some of these pieces have never been shown in SL before.

Capos Calderwood aka Alex Whitmore http://alexwhitmore.com is fast becoming one of the most sought after performers in Second Life of the singer/songwriter genre. He brings to each performance a new set list that is always fresh and you don’t have to listen to the same songs every time. With a couple of exceptions, the songs are entirely his own compositions and range from up tempo humorous twangy look at life to heartfelt ballads that bring your emotions out. Capos will also wow you with his unique finger stylings on the guitar. All in all, you will leave his performances wanting to hear more. For more info please visit http://alexwhitmore.com

I’m not sure I’m back in Second Life on a regular basis.
My real life has been very hectic.. in a good way!
But I do miss taking Second Life pictures, so plan on seeing a post once in a while.
What do you mean I wasn’t suppose to eat them?
A big thank you is due to those designers who have kept their faith in me as a blogger through my absence.
I appreciate you more than you can imagine.
Now on to new stuff!
I will be having a show in Second Life beginning in April.
This will be a little different than my past shows, as it will feature only my fantasy-themed photography work in SL.
Interested in attending? Watch this space for details to be provided later this month!

For those who remember it.. and those who don’t.
Enjoy!
I got a note card a few days ago through the BoHo HoBo newsgroup that said something to the effect of, “Come check out the prettiest sewers in Second Life.”
Not knowing what to expect (would you?), I put the landmark included in my folder of “Things to Check out”.
The lights in this exhibit are beautiful, colourful, whimsical.. they are art.
The pieces exhibited are for sale, they are not inexpensive as furniture, but as artwork for your SL home.. they are priceless. Some things you just can’t put a price on, and something that makes you smile when you see it is cheap by any standard. These make me smile.
This is delightful exhibit, and I highly recommend a visit. trust me, it will make you smile, it will inspire you.
A warning: some of the designs are a bit prim heavy (as many art pieces tend to be), so before you make a purchase, be sure it will fit into the prim limit of your home.
Beautiful and grotesque.
You feel a need to look further, but feel almost a voyeur in doing so.
Sensual, sexual, sublime.
Just see it. Be part of it.
