Book of Watercolors of Second Life Now on Sale
Amy Wilson has been painting really nice watercolors illustrating her travels around the virtual world of Second Life for some time. Now, she’s published them in a 32-page book, available on Lulu.com. If you dug Giff’s Avatar Expression, you may well dig Amy’s work. The paintings are lovely, and the idea of using a virtual world as the source material for a painting is one that interests me a great deal. Painters have long used the real world around them as their subject matter; why not do the same with a virtual world? Does that mean Amy is painting from life? You can chat about that and other topics of art and virtual worlds at an opening in Second Life being thrown in Amy’s honor on June 2. More details on the where and when of that event when I get them.

What an amazing idea for a book. I just ordered a copy of it and I can’t wait to have a look through it.
I wonder if Amy does commissioned works of locations. Amy, if you are reading this I’d love to chat to you about that if you are interested.
It’s pretty cool when you can recognize the locations (other than the obvious ones, like John Edward’s home base); I immediately picked out American Apparel and Waterhead through visual cues.
