Uh oh! my street is changing. Gone is the funky yet sophisticated old Paris feel of the place, it's been replaced with uber slick, almost an American version, of Europe. It now has an underground too! Not that that's bad, (In fact the railroad is quite exciting!) but it is different, and now my little quirky art parks don't fit in.
At first I was despondent, what to do? Move perhaps?
But this would be my second move, and all my advertising is in place, it would mean starting over..., again. So I'v decided to change things around a bit instead. Change the museum building itself, clean up the park, get rid of the gate. I'll post photos of it when it's finished. So far I'm really liking my choice of buildings for the museum, but the park itself feels kind of cold. Have no clue what to do with the cemetery, Yikes! Who knew you could get so emotionally involved with a virtual world?

Check it out, tell me what you think what would you change? This is the contest url so you can enter while you're there if you'd like, win some Lindens!

Welcome!


Welcome to 19! Here you'll find updates, stories and news about my 2 art parks, Night Gallery Cemetery and Saint George Park, both in Second Life!
Saint George Park came about through a desire to have a gallery in an outdoor setting surrounded by the enchantment of large trees and tranquil places to relax. Over time it has become home to different events and the Gene Shaw Museum, the perfect place to share old family photos and memories of this talented but little know jazz musician.
The Night Gallery came out of the idea of displaying the darker art that I create in an appropriate setting, and what's more appropriate than a cemetery? It has grown into a large European type graveyard, complete with tombstones and crypts.
You are welcome to drop by any time and leave me a message. There are things to do in both parks. Be sure to pet Higby, he's a nice cat and loves the attention.
And again welcome, glad you could come...,
