Alizarin @ Indigo's



Featuring Alizarin's big new kinetic sculpty art called PINK PLINK in which a very slow ping-pong texture script combines with an alpha-fade and the sculpty shape to create a liquid evanescent look. Listen for a chorus of delicate sounds. Right click and choose Air Ballet to swoop inside - the piece rides up to 7 avatars, so bring your friends and have an air party! Reception June 4, 3 pm PDT.

PINK PLINK is accompanied by a thoughtful selection of 2 and 3 D work from Alizarin's portfolio.

Save some time to fly around Helvellyn and the neighboring sims. It is an unusally coherent community united by a shared sense of style, a real pleasure to visit!

Neat new freebie at Builder's Brewery


Soror and Ali at the Builder's Brewery Show & Tell today.

Jeran42 Claxton of the Builder's Brewery Group has just set an in-world scultpy texture maker out as a freebie at the Builder's Brewery store:

It consists of 64 points which you arrange to make your shape, and then it converts the points to a colored HUD which you take a screen shot of. You edit the screen shot in Photoshop and import it as a sculpty texture. TY Jeran!

Look for a square with blue arrows on each side on an upper shelf in the freebie area.

Musical Kinetics Premiere


Accomplished SL artists Alizarin Goldflake and Flivelwitz Alsop combine their talents in a sparkling new show of kinetic 2-D sculptures each with unique music. The series was inspired by the art and music of five Asian countries: China, Japan, India, Tibet, and Mongolia. Come feast your eyes on Alizarin's scintillating animated textures and amaze your ears with Flivel's complex compositions - hard to believe they were all created with the little 10 second loops that SL allows! Walk up close to each piece to activate the music.
