SL Homestyle

My first few days in Second Life, taken near the Waterhead welcome area. Archille is in the background

Yes, thats me walking around with a Demo skin, default cowboy boot and sitting randomly. I can't quite remember where that was I think it was near some animation store.

I love SL art and amongst them Starax Statoski is my personal favourite. He was able to twist, cut, and tortour prims like no one could and on top of that, a general all rounder in texturing, particles, scripting. Not to mention sheer brilliance in formulating ideas for his art.

Many times when I have a builder's block, I'd look at his sculptures. These sculptures always reminds you that it is possible, you can do it, that in secondlife, you can build whatever you want, express yourself the way you want it to be. And more importantly, the sheer beauty, emotion and humour distilled in the sculptures always brings a smile to my face.

One interesting thing was that I was just looking back at my old photos from the first week I was in Second Life and guess what? Without knowing it I was already taking photos with Starax sculptures! Man wouldn't it be nice to have my own collection of Starax, to have a piece from THE ARTIST, NO! MORE than an artist, Starax is a HERO!
