I want to be specific: I have been an artist in RL for decades, i had worked on paper and did collages when nobody knew what computers could do. The only machine i had was a copy machine and it was fun. I had also put my face on it and objects, experimenting a lot. I dont use AI on my artwork these days because i could not do art without it. I am experimenting. I was mixing RL artwork and virtual photography (exposed them in a gallery in RL), now adding AI to it and using different prompts and filters and exploring programs and having so much fun. Any artist can choose his tools, that is perfectly ok for me and i would visit an exhibition for other aspects than what tools are used to express the content, does this person have someting to tell me? (btw. i like to use the french word expo - exposition because what ideas people have in that expression is what i imagine in the english expression. not going into details. lol)

As far as I can see, we have around 20 clubs to present, and pictures will follow. I’m still deciding whether to use AI-enhanced images or keep things more natural. What would you prefer?

If someone is interested in a particular location, I could also take pictures there first.

Not everyone enjoys building, but some people have excellent management skills, so there are some really interesting opportunities for them. If you’re interested, just leave a comment and I’ll add you to my contacts. I’d be happy to work with you in the future! 😊

When it comes to residents, though, managing them can be quite a lot of work for a grid owner. I love building, but I’m definitely not a natural-born manager, and time is always the limiting factor. My priority is creating, not managing residents.

On OSGrid, people already have their accounts, and I had originally planned to build something on Tartaria. But lately, OSGrid seems to be getting pretty laggy again, so I decided to rez the new regions on my own grid side instead. I didn’t want a repeat of what happened with my Big Cozy Region when OSGrid went down.

That’s also why the new regions **Michaela** and **Village of Art** stayed on my grid. Apparently, this also led to me being blocked from advertising on OSGrid, without any discussion. Maybe OSGrid isn’t too happy when people add value outside their grid, or maybe someone put pressure on them. Who knows. 🤷‍♀️

In the end, I think the virtual world can be a pretty crazy place sometimes. 😂 But I still love creating, and I’m not going to stop just because things get complicated. Maybe I’ll eventually find a more peaceful world… another planet, perhaps. Or at least a better galaxy. 😄🌌

And yes, sometimes accounts are given to friends. But experience has taught me that good friends aren’t always that easy to find in a virtual world. 😉
