Creative Graffiti In SL
- hhanks, CNN iReport producer
A while back a bunch of CNN ireporters visited avatar AM Radio’s sim called ‘The Far Away’ which is a beautiful wheat field created in SL and a place of tranquillity. It’s well worth a visit. But another of AM’s sites, at IDIA Laboratories, is very interactive indeed, you can do a bit of graffiti and it’s all part of the artwork. Fellow writer Hibiscus Hastings had visited one of AM’s sites and spray painted a wall, so I thought I would have a go at spray painting the side of the railway carriage at this IDIA location.
It’s dead easy, you arrive at the side of the railway track and there is a spray can on a table, you simply click on the can and it opens a link to the web page where there are simple paint tools to use to create your artwork. If you make a mistake you can click the arrow to delete your error. I had great fun and I thought I would show AM Radio how much 'Our Virtual Trilogy' (our blog about SL) loves these imaginative places. You can view everyone’s artwork in Flickr and some of the graffiti artists have done some very impressive work. It’s a great idea and gives everyone a chance to be an SL artist.
