Art in Second Life

My longest-running Second Life project is the Limoncello Art Gallery. It is in a 120-metre long airship (named after the Blogpower member Welshcakes Limoncello) moored 700 metres above my land. It houses my collection of Second Life art on one of three floors. On the other two are 12 smaller galleries which I provide free of charge to artists I like. Yesterday, I found an artist for the last of those rooms and so the gallery is finally complete after 16 months. The new artist, an Italian who goes by the Second Life name of Gleman Jun, has made this promotional video.

    I’ll pop by sooner rather than later. A lot of images packed into those few seconds.

    This thing is obviously a labour of love for you, Tom. I understand it is magnificent.

    My father an artist would be very bemused by the concept of a virtual art gallery. He is a technology and internet luddite by nature. I must come and visit one of these days.

Tom is a retired international lawyer. He was a partner in a City of London law firm and spent almost twenty years abroad serving clients from all over the world.

Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.

He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that

“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
