Me and the Bird
We've come a long way, this little Gull and I! From the shores of our rented home on Shawnee Preserve, and our first attempt at launching a skybox over it, creating the first Gull gallery, to this back stoop of the latest gallery that takes up a full 4705 sq. meters of the Homestead I now call Home!
We have met a lot of strange and beautiful people along the way here in Second Life. and
I can honestly say that if it weren't for my friends, I think I may have thrown in the towel by now and let the bird fly off the grid somewhere over the ocean of Lucky Strike and it's enormously overpriced tier! ( Not without scripting it to shit on Frank's head first though ;))I have made many transformations, and almost as many transgressions, but I am grateful for every stumble along that cyber path, because it has brought me to where I am now!
My new home is called Aire Xaris Studios and it is situated on Gull Gallery, which is an actual destination on the grid!
Gull gallery is owned by a lovely man named Gooden Uggla Proprietor of Nuki Nuki Beach, (among many, MANY other things) and he is probably everything that encapulates the best of what can be found here in Second Life. I credit the man with saving me from sailing off the grid and taking the concept of Gull gallery and its peaceful ocean dreamscape of art work, Lighthouse's and beach surf with it.
I have had time here to feel settled, and with that sense of safety has come the influx of creative flow and good feelings.
Gull gallery is open to the public, and is here as a sanctuary of sorts, for all those weary travelers needing a peaceful respite from the sometimes very confusing and almost certainly overwhelming place called second Life.
I look forward to seeing you all!

Merging Layers.
The creation of Wonderland Entertainment was in fact a collage, and a collaboration between myself and a friend and was an experiment in meshing two very different worlds and business ventures.
The dissolving of the group in world also saw the end of gaming and its association with gull gallery.
My decision to "Burn" all things Alice is more or less another layer.
Endings are new beginnings, and as I grow to understand the tools I use, I think the pallet should mature as well.
There will be a bonfire of the portfolio, and all things "Wonderland" will be thrown into the fire.
The layer will become 100% opaque, if you will, and I'll be able to conecentrate on more stable backrounds.

Alice series
I don't think the overall composition should be so monochromatic when dealing with subject and lighting. The poses themselves can keep you occupied for hours on end, never mind whatever magic can be performed in photoshop. Alice series is a set of poses and lighting I saved in the studio for quick reference, and for those looking for something a little more expressive. I think the photos should convey much more than just the regular emotions, IE : happy, sad, etc.
They should incorporate the complex, and in capturing the essence of what that pose, lighting, background, clothing, props used, can convey, you in a sense capture a portion of the personality.

What moves you
Note inside champagne glass reads:
Dear Sir,
I saw you once from across the room, and I couldn't help but stare. Your face seemed familiar to me, and I couldn't help but notice that you seemed a bit out of place.
I crossed the room to get a bit closer, and I was detained by friends, and other faces with smiles, and in the moments that I could catch a glimpse, I thought you caught my eye.
~Maybe it was just my imagination, but our gaze seemed to lock for what seemed like an eternity, and in that moment, I was sure that we held each other, and I was very pleased with your company.
By the time I reached where I thought you had been standing, I found only this empty glass, so I left this note in the hopes that you might return to it and into my gaze again.
If by chance you should return, please know that these were my thoughts of you, and that sadly, the moment had passed me by. Perhaps we'll see each other again, and if so, I should very much like it, if you would ask me to dance.

Art is a feeling
It's a moment, a shadow on the window sill dancing with the dust as you watch the afternoon paint itself across your front lawn.
it is the intangible, and the unseen that passes by in quiet moments of contemplation.

Sampling Audio Files
the use of other artist's work, or sampling is permissible and even encouraged as long as proper credit is made mention to the artist. I make sure to put in links and name each artist I sample, region I visit, and work I use.
I am a huge advocate of this site, and I encourage all artists to familiarize themselves with it.
It's a huge success, and a great vehicle for linking back to that artist’s site, or blog and giving exposure to not only your piece, but to the artist who's work helped in its overall composition.

about Alice
For many, this was a part of the persona that was a bit off sides. American McGee's version took Alice to another dark level for gamers as well as anyone that kept Alice close by, and in their hearts.
I'm a huge fan, and always have been. Alice is incorporated into Aire, because Alice is part of me, and so it's not unusual to see the Cheshire rezzed and asking you if you can stand on your head, somewhere on Amante.

. Next month's exhibit will be focussed on the creation of avatars, and I'm sure I will have a few awkward pictures of Aire in her earlier stages. At any rate, the cheshire will remain rezzed, and his smile will appear to anyone that stands close enough by him.

about the Artist
Spikey Velvet (RLC) Spikey Monitor (SL)
A very talented artist and Web page designer, Spikey's paintings are a mixed media on canvas that takes us through one man's journey of pain, struggle, hope rejuvenation, laughter, and of course healing.
I first met spikey in RLC, and discovered his mutual love of the arts when we both independently submitted works to the gallery.
Spikey's exhibit at Gull gallery is a beautiful addition, and will remain in it's inventory for as long as Gull gallery exists!
