“Eschatos Graves” in S.L.
Evanston, IL – 05/28/2008 – AVATRAIT GALLERY, Second Life’s premier site for “Digital Impressionist” art, has recently undergone a major renovation as part of the on-going upgrades to the Simuality sim. Their monthly features resumed in May with an exclusive showing of images by noted artist Corbett Howard.
Regarding the show, he wrote: “Corbett Howard exists within the confines of a virtual world. He is piloted by a rather nondescript fellow, who has drawn and painted as far back as he can remember, scratching a living, as we all do, in the day-to-day grind, occasionally selling a piece here and there, but always compelled through ability and imagination to paint and create. Upon finding this new virtual world he saw its possibilities for creative expression. Artists have a certain responsibility, as a place holder in society, to reflect life - whether that life is the Real or Second Life.”
Corbett is going to have to re-think the “occasionally selling a piece” part of that, as, for the first time ever, an artist sold out the entire stock of “exclusive” one-of-a-kind images in an Avatrait Gallery show! Avatrait offers three types of images, unique “originals” of which only one virtual copy exists, standard “virtual prints” which many people can purchase and enjoy, and real-world high-quality framed prints that are shipped world-wide, and every one of Corbett’s “originals” sold in this exhibition. Another first is the “stage set” of Corbett Howard’s poster image where visitors to the gallery can take pics of themselves, and enter them into a contest!
