A Shabby Wonderland

If you make one trip in SL this weekend, then dive head first (literally for some depending on viewer choice) into a big scrummy helping of Chocolate Pie. A feast for lovers of all things Shabby and Chic, the sim recently opened a new string of little boutiques including Tatty Soup, The Cats Whiskers and DabbleRae. Those, added to the flagship of CC Decor and the wonderful feast for the eyes that is CS Shapes by Xanthe Audeburgh make this a playful, colourful and memorable retreat.

Shabby Walls

There are many new packs in the store this week on all three grids - SL, Avination & InWorldz - For the fabric lovers we have a whole load of new stuff including Toile de Jouy and Seamless Chintz. And for the discerning interior designer / photographer a nice new pack of beautifully distressed 'Shabby Walls'. 10 New wonderfully disturbed Interior Wall textures in several styles, with various boarders and the inevitable nicotine and damp stained look that everyone seems to be crying out for these days. Out old friend Shabby Chic is certainly out there winning hearts at the moment. All these packs are available as of now in InWorldz, Avination and in Second Life, you'll find them on the Hippo Vendors and of course at the SL Marketplace. Remember we also have the 'Chez Chic' House & Garden Hunt on in the main store (SL) running until the end of April.

It's been a crazy month so far, so many new products being rolled out at the same time as updating all the Marketplace listings and updating the packaging of every single box in every store on every grid plus the SLM and Hippo servers, customs, notecards, things breaking.. but honestly I don't want it ever to stop, it reminds me of how SL used to be.

Cool Black Wall Pack #3 & Catching Up

It's been a slow start to 2011 what with opening new stores on various grids and other stores closing as the grid loses yet another sim (Onium Dye Mall - Which has moved to Avination). This week though I've released several new packs to kick start the spring & summer season. First out of the traps is [K.O.] Cool Black Wall Pack #3 which goes straight into the budget range with its older siblings. It's $L100 from the Main Store or on The Marketplace. You can also pick it up in Avination or in InWorldz. Here are a couple of pics; (you may want to click on them to see them properly)




Other packs released this week (or the end of last) include [K.O.] - Nursery - Which is a big box of perfect for Mums & Dads of little boys, little girls and little monsters. "Little monsters Khan?" "Yes little monsters, you'll see." Picture below. Also just out are two packs of gorgeous wood effect colored interiors by the name of [K.O.] - Whimsical Wood and [K.O.] - Whimsical Wood 2, the former being a beautifully pale and sometimes vintage range of colors and the latter is a range of much brighter, warm fun colors. All these packs can all be found in SL, Avination and in InWorldz. Picture below.








Oh one final note this week, the latest hunt from Mandi Blanco is underway: Texturemania 2 Hunt means there are hundreds of free, great quality prizes with a Spring theme to be found across the SL grid, all full perm items from top builders and creators. It runs through March so don't dilly dally.

Baby Jane 2011 - 80 Interiors for builders

There are 20 colors, or flavors they like to be known as, each in four styles; With boarders - which come in Light, Dark and Brown. So choose your boarder to suit your floor. And without boarders - Which also works well as a ceiling. It really could be the only pack of walls the discerning builder would ever need. It's now available on the Marketplace and from the Main Store in SL, it'll be in the Avination and InWorldz stores over the weekend.

Now Open For Business In Avination

Ever expanding, slowly but surely and eventually, we now find ourselves arriving on the shores of the Avination grid. I was asked by good friend and associate Tolsen DeCycla to join him on his quest to seek fortune and merriment at his brand new shiny sim, peacefully entitled 'Tranquility Harbor'. Where his new Onium Dye Village Mall has been taking shape for the past week or so.

The mall (which has been very successful on the SL grid, full to capacity or thereabouts since it's conception over a year ago) will carry on the tradition of offering shop space for creators of all the things 3D content builders crave. Textures, Sculpt Maps, Templates, Artwork and so on. There are still spaces available in the mall, but hurry. Contact Tolsen DeCycla in Avination for details, or take a trip to the sim and check it out for yourself.

Hunt Gift - The Emerald City

Hioh Jinx always runs a great quality and fun grid-wide hunt, and the latest promises to be no exception. The 'No place like home' hunt starts on the 15th January, and you can follow the blog here. This is my gift for the hunters, the 'Emerald City' builders kit. I may have read too much into the hunt title, and the hunt item (a ruby slipper), as the prizes will cover mostly items relating to the home and garden. Oh well, fly my monkeys! fly!

The Bar - An Intimate Affair

There are a couple of new builds in the store this week, one being the 'Modern Goth Bookcase' and this 83 Prim build which will be termed affectionately as 'The Bar'. Carefully textured with atmosphere in mind, it's ready built and perfect for the role play environment, or would slot in just as easily at home or in a club. Available on the Marketplace now or view it in the main store for a limited time.

Happy Holidays from [K.O.]

Yes the stockings are hanging and Santa is on his way, so here is a small gift from [K.O.] Khan Omizu Textures to thank everyone for your support over the past year. Download it here for free. It's a Christmas themed pack of distressed / vintage style present packaging textures. It was originially the hunt prize for the Creative Christmas hunt which ran from November to December, so if you already have it, well done. Thanks again for a great year for [K.O.] Khan Omizu Textures and here's to another year of Inventory losses, failed TP's, begrudgingly paying Tier prices and walking around completely unaware that you're naked depending on which viewer people are using. Happy Holidays.

Destination - Slow

I had a lot of problems TP'ing in SL this morning, but as luck would have it I hit on this gem after trying to teleport to several other places in search of the perfect winter destination. There are no Snowmen, no skating Polar Bears, not even a glimpse of Santa. What they do have is a beautifully textured and really well thought out diorama of cosy little contemporary stores, an Airport departures lounge converted to a make-shift bazaar selling everything from trinkets and gadgets to modern interior fabrics, there's lots to see and do, maybe even a few photo opportunities. So this winter I'm recommending a little trip to the wonderful sim of Slow.

Free Textures - Patterned Concrete

Oh, a new shiny thing. Free Textures in a quick, easy download straight to your hard drive. And they're exclusive to this blog, they won't be sold or distributed anywhere else (by me at least) - So it's eight Patterned Concrete Textures for use in whichever virtual world you frequent I guess. Here is the link and enjoy.

Shabby Chic - Organic Grunge Textures

Here's a new pack of 50 (there's really 51 but don't tell anyone) new and very unique, eclectic textures. Subtitled 'organic grunge' as the earthy aroma of distressed wood and metal, boho fabric panels, shiny, dirty wall panels, artexing, brickwork and burnt oak; rises! from the surface of your build, enchanting all who enter. Ideal for Urban Store builds but ready for wherever your imaginarium takes you. Available now on the marketplace and from the main store in SL, it'll be available in InWorldz by Friday at the latest.

The Metro - Urban Grunge Subway Textures

This new pack of 23 unique textures for builders affectionatly titled 'The Metro' has been running around my head for the past year, and finally it's made it to production. Everything you'll need for walls, platforms, track, tunnel, signs and even track-side advertising is in here. Plenty of blood (optional), plenty of dirt (not optional) - actually it is there's a lovely shiny platform in there if that's your cup of tea, but in the main this is a really grimey, grungey set designed with atmosphere in mind. It's now available from the marketplace and the main store priced at L$499.

Pretty F*cked Up Walls

A follow up to the scarily popular 'Pretty F*cked Up Concrete', here it comes - cue catchy title - 'Pretty F*cked Up Walls'. It's 14 Textures which work equally well as exterior or interior walls depending on your build, each with delicate shading, splattered blood and guts, graffiti and of course - Arnold from Different Strokes. I can see these going well on a subway build or multi-storey carpark too, whatever, that's up to you.

These are available as of 10 seconds ago on the Marketplace and from the New Stock shelf at the main store. They'll also be available in Inworldz by the end of the week.

Distressed Sci-Fi Textures

I must be on a roll, so shortly after releasing the Urban Sci-Fi pack here comes a brand new pack of 40 Unique, Hi-Res Sci-Fi Interiors. We have walls, panels, light grills and doors, which would work pretty well as either sliding or saloon style. Lots of delicate shading and an attention to the atmospheric detail in this pack, coupled with our usual fantastic prices - in this case L$599 - I'm sure it won't take long for you to love this pack as much as I do. Available now from the main store and from the Marketplace.

Destination - The Petrovsky Flux

I can't really do justice for this new exhibit at the Spencer Museum of Art on the SL grid. It's a constantly changing, moving and quite organic explosion of art as seen through the eyes of it's designers - Blotto Epsilon & Cutea Benelli - Every visit is unique as you'll discover new things, little details you may have overlooked before. You can clime, explore, fly around and even experiment with sound and movement whilst playing your own unique haunting melody at the pavillion. I couldn't recommend visiting the Petrovsky Flux highly enough.
