VIRTUAL VINYL: THE SECOND LIFE TOY/ART GALLERY THAT NEVER WAS
This was going to be, at first sight, the first thing that made me immediately jump back into Second Life since those long, lonely stretches several years back wandering vast empty expanses of its virtual space and wondering where, exactly, the party at.
Then I realized it’d never got off the ground. But, either way, cheerfully obsessive fan-site Doodlesplatter — dedicated to all things Jon Burgerman (he of the recent LittleBigPlanet sticker pack) — features a gallery of this gallery: a “quarter square mile” art space with “a solid chunk of real estate devoted to Burgerman” that was being officially developed by London-ite Cris Rose.
Above are a selection of Burgerman’s prints and, even more wonderfully, larger-than-life-sized models of his Burgerminos toy series from a year or two back, and, at very top, at far back, you can spy an additional print by also-Offworld-favorite design duo Tado.
Doodlesplatter has many, many more images of the gallery that apparently wasn’t able to launch before “third-party funding… fell through” (from Kidrobot, perhaps?), though Rose himself left a chin-up “maybe in the future!” response to the post earlier today.
