Shuggah Stupor, SLEA Liaison
In May of 2022, I was honored to be asked to join the SLEA team as Curator of the SLEA SKY GALLERIES. I’m a fan of Second Life, and the creative people that I have been blessed to meet and work with.
If I had to describe myself, I would say that I am an Independent and a Humanist. I’m curious about creative people and their goals as artists in Second Life. My mind is open to different and new experiences and ideas. I fully enjoy curating, and will always try to encourage and bring out the best in the artists that I host in the SKY GALLERIES.
I’m amazed at the number of talented real-life artists who share their real-life work within Second Life. I am thankful to those who have been willing to share advice and knowledge with me.
As a liaison, I look forward to meeting, and assisting the talented grant artists.
As an avatar artist in Second Life, I express myself better through simple photos, builds and digital art than any other way. I have joined many projects over the years myself and found it to be a very satisfying way to spend my time in Second Life.
I’m slowly and continuously educating myself on how to create my art in this virtual world, and I love learning about the techniques and all the processes that people use to produce their creations here.
I like to motivate others who may be shy, feel lost, or misunderstood in other means of communication to explore the arts.
