Blackwater Artists at Burning Life

GM Kurosawa finished his in record time using his mini-me's around an open fire, each one of these is over 80 prims! In this picture he's attached them as followers.

Masterful Escape working hard at BurningLife:


Cheen Pitney moved to his own parcel, unfortunately in a PG region. This led to the great
Linden Lab censor act of 2007:

Pavig Lok looks tired, BurningLife and Rezzables and other things take their toll on even the most seasoned of avatars.

I found a sim for Madcow Cosmos's Things!

I love his work, but prims are prims, and his works are so detailed that it is hard to show them all in one region. There are still several at Blackwater Gallery. But I've moved and put out even more of the dino and dragon pieces at one of the Rezzable sims, kindly offered to me by RightasRain Rimbaud. Hurry and see them, I'm not sure how long we can borrow the region!


Here's a picture on Bloghud by Torley Linden.

a painting with a twist!

first of a series by Masterful Escape

Also, Masterful is offering for sale some modifiable versions of a few pieces at the gallery.

LittleToe Bartlett donates a piece to the Gallery!

LittleToe is one of Second Life's great artists, and you can't buy the work, so this is a great honor indeed!

where the Greenies were before Rezzable Greenies

The big desk full of Greenies... before there was a Greenies Rezzable sim, they were here at Blackwater! And some still remain here as they consider it home. Freebies under the desk too, for newbies.

Our Land Manager AFK forever from the Second Life® world!

James Gill, Blackwater Gallery's land manager and builder of the Blackwater Gallery teleport signs, is leaving the Second Life® world. He is selling all his own lands; this includes the wonderful New Orleans build (NOLA) , the ice castle, and the Sabre train station. along with many other builds around the Second Life® world. James ran many trains along the SLRR tracks.
In fact here I am in one of Madcow Cosmos' wonderful av's riding atop one of James' trains!

and here is a YouTube video someone has made about his trains:

This is a great loss to the gallery, and to us. Anna Tsiolkovsky sits atop his memorial marker in Heaton.

James was one of the most active and outspoken members of the Second Life® world's Arbor Project, founded by Xerses Goff. Xerses will continue on as land manager for some of my other lands. James Gill was another casualty of the ad farm invasions in the Second Life® world. Here are some other references to his work for the Second Life® world and his departure on the net : http://anjin.hutch.org/?p=63 http://www.your2ndplace.com/node/248
