Tune in to AM Radio

If there is anyones profile that you should sticky beak into, it would definitely have to be that of AM Radio. An extremely creative in-world artist, whose work I really enjoy. I have followed his remarkable artwork for some time now and I definitely wanted to share it with all of you.




Touch things, become immersed in AM's work. You can interact with many of his installations in one way or another, becoming part of the art work.


These pics are just a small glimpse into the artistic mind of AM Radio.



The grassy plains seem to just go on forever as the clouds roll by over head.



A number of train carriages with blank walls sit idol on their tracks. A can of spray paint sits on a table nearby. Hmmm...looks like an open invitation to me! *grins*

Touch the spray can and you will gain access to graffiti the train. You will get a drop down link to go to a web page. There you will get to spray paint your own design on the side of the train, using your mouse. 


Busted!  
What!?!  I couldn't let an opportunity like this pass me by.
You need to allow for streaming media, which is in your preferences under Audio & Video. Then once you have completed your masterpiece, your artwork will appear in-world on the side of the train and also on flickr in Surfacegraph's photostream.


Here's my attempt at a little graffiti.


Superdyne
Desolate and dry, as far as the eye can see. It's making me thirsty just looking at it. Click either of these vehicles and you'll receive a copy to drive around the SIM in. Put your foot to the floor, feel the virtual breeze flow through your pixelated hair.


The Far Away - Wheat Fields
Very reminiscent of the twister that swept Dorothy out of Kansas. Though motionless in time, you can almost feel the strength of the wind as it hurled the chairs across the field. 


A train stands alone in a field, ageing gracefully.

Also here, you can donate by purchasing some of AM Radio's items on the board, above the power lines. Large majority of the proceeds go to Heifer International Charity, and the rest goes toward keeping The Far Away up and running for all to enjoy.


The Quiet: Further Away and Further Apart
A vast, snowy white canvas. Cold, quiet and very still. A gentle fall of snow is very calming.


The talented man himself. I love AM Radios attention to detail on even the most smallest of prims. I think the dragonflies are adorable.

Omega Point


Greetings fellow travellers and welcome to Omega Point. I have to start off by saying that my following pics do absolutely no where near the justice that this build deserves, but I will try my best to show you a small glimpse of what is waiting to be explored. This place definitely has to be seen to be believed. There are many wondrous sites that await you around every turn. 


The amazingly talented, Sweetlemon Jewell has created an astounding build that fills the entire SIM, from the ground up, way beyond the clouds. This mysterious dark fantasy world is absolutely stunning with exquisite, highly detailed textures throughout.


All the areas have been set up with a teleport system to make it easy to get to a particular area.

You can always use your traditional SL flying abilities to get around Omega Point, but if you don't have any flight assistance (e.g. flight feather) to help get your avi to the highest point, then you could pilot one of the flying vehicles that Sweetlemon has arranged for travellers and adventures like yourself to use.


This is the Flying Alien Vedette. You can even take a passenger with you too.


There is also a flying bubble for individuals to fly around in. Both vehicles are easy to operate, just have to use the page up/down and the arrow keys.


Lost time ballroom with the floating meditation zone on the left.


A number of pose balls await the weary traveller. Relax, unwind, take in your surroundings.
.

Fellow bloggers, designers, flickr lovers, those that enter photo comps and alike, if you are in need of somewhere a little more impressive for the backdrop of your pics, Omega Point is a perfect place. Alien, ancient, futuristic, steam punk, grunge, fantasy, angelic, demonic, you name it, you will be able to create some incredible pics here. Sweet has built an extraordinary 3D canvas, now let your creative imaginations run wild. It is hard to take a bad pic here.


Lost bridge leading away from the Lost time ballroom.


Grand staircases and bridges connect all the areas of Omega point
These stairs guide you up to the Lost time ballroom.



There are many pose balls and animations all around this amazing place.


In amongst this divine dark fantasy world lies a couple of stores. This grand foyer is the entrance to KWZ store, upstairs. There are also some teleporters here that will take you to individual platforms.




Area Genesis on ground level.


Inside Omega Point Store, alien eggs hang from above.

Exploring the dark halls above Omega Point store.



To the west of the landing point as you first arrive, is a SIM crossing that leads to Alpha Point. Yet another incredible build is currently under construction. It looks amazing from a distance already. I shall inform you all when this SIM is open for exploration.

My new blog!

Greeting all,
Welcome to my new blog. Due to the unforeseen closure of the Free finds for men group and blog, I have decided to venture out and create my own blog dedicated to travel in Second Life. I have transferred a few of my previous FFFM travel posts and I look forward to bringing you many more of my SL adventures.

Be my NYMPHETAMINE Valentine!

Valentine's day is less than a few weeks away, and pink and red hearts are beginning to pop up all over the grid. The great NYMPHETAMINE Hunt has begun and there are even some gifts for guys. Hunt ends on the 15th Feb.


Take your Mrs, partner or friends and enjoy hunting together

**Hunt gifts from Digital Knickers: for the guys a mens layered tee and for the ladies, Valentine's candy demi and thong.

Head over to the NYMPHETAMINE mainstore and grab yourself a ticket and wear it as you go hunting. You are looking for globes that once you find and click on, they will register on your ticket. When you have complete the hunt, your card will tell you "Congratulations, you found all items! Now you can go to the Prize Station to claim your special prize!" Head back to the start location and click the prize giver board and it will tell you what to do!

**I'm wearing gift from Digital Knickers - Red rose demi and thong. Your lady friend will look pretty hot in this sexy little number.


This is what the Valentine heart globes look like, just not so big.

**Hunt prize from Oh Lala Leather & Lace - Mens t-shirt.

This is the size of the globes you are looking for. You have to find fifty in total, but they are all quite easy to find. There is an information notecard at the starting point that contains hints for each globe plus LM to the SIMS that you need to search, make sure you grab one.

**Hunt gift BHCT shirt from Happy designs.

Stryda chillin with the local service station owner, watching the bikers burn by. The Dragons tail SIM is a great place to rez those motorcycles you have stashed in the bottom of your inventory. Pull'em out and burn some rubber. Let the wind run through your pixelated hair. (Only motorbikes are permitted on this SIM)

**Hunt prize: Anti Valentines tee from Brutalitees. It says "you'll do, be mine"

The lengths this blogger will happily go too. As you can see, there are places for entertainment and entertaining here at Slurgis biker SIM. *grins*


NYMPHETAMINE is on a gorgeous, picturesque SIM. A very romantic and beautifully built place.

After the hunt or even during, I recommend coming back to this SIM. There are a number of secluded spots for you and your partner to spend a little quality time together. Have some dinner, a glass of red wine, then slow dance under the stars, gazing deeply into each others eyes.

Many romantic pose ball animations have been setup all around the SIM. Perfect for getting close to your special someone.


~Tattoos from Para Designs~
On Stry: Wicked Tribal  and on myself: Leopard Spots (both recent MM board prizes)
**Hunt prize from Oh Lala Leather & Lace - Mens & womens matching shirts


Relax, take some weight off your feet, rest for awhile, take in the wonderous surroundings.
(How good are your eyes? Can you see the globe in this pic?)


Lots of places to explore. Magical things can and do happen here.


**Hunt prize from Stacys Tatts - Lord of the rings back tattoo

Enjoy and happy hunting!



Oh, keep an eye open for Cupid aka Mac Heron of Brutalitees, he's been seen lurking around, you may get shot in the arse with a love filled arrow. Cupids lookin' damn hot these days!
This place is definitely one to add to your traveling guide.
