Flickrites to fall in virtual love with : Zinc Karas & Illian Garrigus
September 12, 2008 8:07 pmZinc Karas
Not much is known - by me - about Zinc Karas, excect that he’s male, from Greece (find that info in his flickr profile), sells virtual furniture on OnRez and creates some awesome Second Life photographs. Behold yourself:
And last, but definitely not least - I expect all the female avatars to agree with me:
Illian Garrigus
Another highly inspiring Second Life photography artist is Illian Garrigus (Flickr Profile) who sheds a bit more light upon himself with this incredible self portrait (dual-world):
Quote: ‘I wanted to escape from this world, taking with me the good things I had from people I met…. I put on my bag a lot of fast thought, a lot of nice moments, rememberings of many little polygon creatures moved by AOs that gave me less boring night. I was ready to disappear, ready to hit quit and never come back… but, it’s impossible… my friends, it’s impossible… the energy coming out of minds of this world is higher than any illusion, positive or negative, higher than the worst lag, missing texture or freeze… this great common conscience connecting all us and make us stronger to eye of who look at us and don’t understand what we are doing in this world, what we are doing on flickr. love, hate, friendship, honestly, hollowness… reality into the virtuality. I can’t help to live it… I’m sure I learned a lot in these month and mainly in these last weeks, experiences I forgot or I’ve never tried in my RL. for all this. I want to thanks anyone supported me, anyone understood my choices even if wrong without considering a bad person. everything I did, I did with honestly.’
Illian apologising for his ‘Macaroni English’, makes me suspect his real life self originates from Italy. Anyway, this photograph - a friend’s death - is what first did catch my attention, and made me sob a few - real life - tears:
Make sure to browse his flickr stream for a lot of funny, sad and absolutely stunning surprises!

This two guys are really awesome, imaginative, skilled, creative….
I’m always amazed at what people manage to do with SL photography and SLart (!!). I wish I knew how to use those tools as myself would love to express my ideas through pictures.
Thanks for sharing Vint :)
Whoa! Thank you so much for featuring those wonderful (and quite good-looking) SL photographers. (I’ll thank Mr. Au for mentioning the blog entry as well.)
Awesome! I will definitely be checking out those Flickr galleries.
