Virtual diversity Exciting new contest graphic on Koinup.com: virtual worlds ecosystems are based on the diversity of each avatar, created by the imagination of the real person that moves it. So let's see your best portraits of avatars sending your works from March 28 to April 19. |

Black becomes romantic This week I decided to introduce an Italian girl, Athena Medea, using The Sims 2 and Second Life as a graphics editor prevalent, producing images "Crossworld" in which the Sims characters interact in the background of location of Second Life and is the author of the chosen image as the icon of the group on Koinup and this should already give you an idea of her powers of expression. |

Graphic art at its best Nur Moo is not a new name to anyone involved in art and virtual worlds, just think of the wonderful article written about her by Beverly Millson (aka Bettina Tizzy) for Not Possible in RL. In hier real life graphic designer based in Parma, Nur Moo is now well-established artist in Second Life as well as in RL. |

Versatile art of Ruriko It is increasingly difficult to select a name among the graphic dreamers of Koinup.com, but this week my choice goes to Ruriko Bracken,a Japanese fashion blogger with a passion for photography. Whose works remind me sometimes those of Tamara De Lempicka, other times seems coming out from Madame Butterfly. |

Fiona's landscapes Fiona Saiman is a “veteran” of the virtual world of Linden Lab with the “passion for photos, the lights’ details, the play of colors”. Always available to compare with others, like many artists Fiona claims to have started using virtual worlds as platforms to develop her images “because of curiosity and the inability to use photo editing software”. |

Link's novels This week we want to talk about Link, a French girl who, besides being passionate about graphic art, write novels illustrating them with her images, to realize which she uses the platform of The Sims. Looking through her album on Koinup you will realize the versatility of Link. |

Conformism in SL Not only fashion but also the way of life, art, architecture and how to socialize in Second Life, sometimes, has a very clearly “conformist” nature. This is what Lookatmy Back, virtual photographer, think about Linden Lab metaverse, explaining us why. |
|
A pop surreal traveler I do not know if Lookatmy Back could be described as surreal pop artist, for sure I find it a great traveler and thus probably a good dreamer (graphic or not). |

Art is in the artist's eye One of the things that people used to Second Life note when looking at pictures from other virtual worlds like The Sims is the expression of avatars, not so expressive. A challenge for artists such as Cactus, because they have to decide how to recreate the story of that character. |

Sims Dreamwitch77 Sims DreamWitch77 is a Swiss fantasy-artist. Unlike many, this Koinupper often used The Sims or some MMORPG instead of the more usual grid of Second Life as background for her images. The results are excellent, especially if you love the romantic or Gothic atmospheres. |

Divine Tokyoska enhanced avatars This time I will tell you about an artist who uses SL as a medium to create spectacular images: Divine Tokyoska. She tends to not take themselves too seriously and simply say: "I picture nice ladies of SL, there is nothing profound in my work, everything is sexy, cheeky fun". |
|
SL needs a graphics change We met in our travels in recent months in length and breadth of many players in Second Life interesting, from our friend and collaborator Zeta Bellow to Morris Merriman, director and actor in RL and in the metaverse "discoverer " of the lost continent of Atlantis, from stylist Ziamela Loon to the journalist and sometime friend of our raids in SL, Hunk Sands. |
