When Two Worlds Collide… Part 2
© Alexia Cournoyer. 2009 All rights reserved. Fringe acts are always hard to review, simply because the standards that would normally be applied to professional performances aren’t directly relevant. A lower bar has to be used in judging or the reviewer is not being fair.… Read the rest

You may have seen this blogpost https://blogs.secondlife.com/community/community/blog/2009/11/24/the-second-death-of-caspar-helendale.

:) Exhibition over and one happy “artiste” with her feet up (sans booze)
Well, I’ve just packed away the exhibition and it’s been fun. During the last couple of weeks I’ve had a chance to catch up with people I haven’t seen in ages and it’s all been good 🙂 The opening night was great, lots of people passing through to say hello and check it out.. … Read the rest

I haven’t done the art thing for a long time. Many different reasons, but it’s always bothered me that I stopped doing what I loved. Building things is ok and I think I have finally nailed a scripters foot to the floor to help me finish off all the things that I am just completely incapable of hacking/creating the scripts to make work, but it’s not as satisfying as the art.… Read the rest

I’m still around
well, I finally removed the last of the gallery about a month ago and put the land up for sale. I find it interesting that I’ve priced it waaay above the current market rate. I suspect I still haven’t got to the letting go yet – there’s a surprise ;). … Read the rest
