hello ! i admire your work as a whole quite a lot, and recently your secondlife stuff really caught my eye. i was wondering how did you get into it? asking as someone who also really wants to get into it, but finds it insanely confusing when it comes to navigating around building a nice character. well wishes!

hello and thank you, sorry for the late reply

I started playing second life around 2018, I love the primitive looking visuals

I can totally say the avatar customization system it is not for everyone, it can be very tedious if you're just starting, there's a lot of terms you have to learn (bento, animesh, bake on mesh (also known as BOM), I personally just got a free bento avatar at first and I dedicated to explode and hang out with people, I got more interested on avatar building much later, spending a lot of time browsing on the marketplace was also useful honestly.

Here's a guide for multiple subjects and a free avatar list in case you're looking for that

do you ever exhibit your work? i am a curator in los angeles and you def have quality stuff thats good exhibition material

Thank you that's very kind

I did once but they were just two pieces of a collective project, there's not much going on regarding exhibitions in my country if you're not well known, so I haven't had the chance, but I'd like to, someday

I love your piece "Killing Myself" in Acrylic!! its so good and blows my mind thats in acrylic. it looks like chalk pastel but cleaner? Idk, v good ✌️

Thank you very much

I used acrylics for it yes, for the final details I used prismacolor pencils, and to blend it further with the painting I apply a little bit of turpentine to it, since they're oil based it work just like when you apply it to oil paints

This article documents the severe and ongoing specimen neglect I witnessed over 12 months working at Florida State Collection of Arthropods. FSCA actively solicits donations, then picks and chooses what specimens to care about based on individuals' personal favorites. The rest are left to rot.

Please take a look and consider sharing this, it's extremely important for people (especially in science, taxonomy, natural history, museum curation, etc) to know how and why scientific material is being lost.

My take on Flatwoods Monster I adore the idea of a barn-owl design for her, just like the illustration of the theory of what it could have been, but I really wanted to do a mantis-like take.
