Well, I released a novelty item today. Every once in a while (well, maybe more often than that) I get obsessed with something goofy. I always thought stick men were cute, don't know why, I just do. So, I made animesh and avatar stick people. There are regular ruth size and also tiny versions. I put them on the second floor of the shop building right in front of the elevator. They are dancing in the landing zone purely for my entertainment :).

The Art Factory is about art and artists. At The Art Factory, we display art; we appreciate art; we learn about art; and, we promote art. We have over a dozen galleries dedicated to in-world artists, where they show their innovative creations. As such, we are continuing our feature - Meet the Artist. This week, we interviewed Antonia Ling, owner of Antonia Ling Gallery, Inspired By Gallery, Metropolis Poster Shop, and a 2001 themed gallery.

Antonia, tell us about yourself and your art.
“It's not easy to talk about myself. What have I to say about my person? Not much... really. I like photography and I like to photograph. I love to photograph old churches when I'm in Denmark. Or ships in the harbor... often details. Not the big ones, I prefer little old boats of the local fishermen. I like to photograph old cars and colorful flowers. I love art from the 1920s to today, I love a lot of the german BAUHAUS and their Master like Kandinsky, Alberts or Lazlo Moholy-Nagy.”

What are you doing currently?
“I try to photograph a bit. At the moment I deal with cyanotype. It fascinates me...”

What is your inspiration for art in world?
“I do what I do because I like to do it. When one in a million likes it... I'm happy.”

Thank you so much for your interview, Ms. Ling. We love your ongoing contributions to The Factory.

It's really not that hard to be ranked #4 on OpenSim when you plant 8 avatars in your region and just keep them there. I really think that is being very deceitful and skewing the OpenSim numbers to raise yourself in the rank. Regions that have been found to have avatars that are just put there 24/7 should have the region deleted and it should not be allowed. Not only is this grid owner stealing people's regions but now they are lying about who is actually occupying their region to raise themselves in the ranks. Awful!

Come for the freebies. Stay for the sites! Take your time exploring this beautiful sim, filled with picturesque views, large forests, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, and beaches. Don't forget to visit Santa along the way.

A statement:

This is a world for avatars. If you put your avatar face in the profile, instead of the standard default picture, you get much more reactions and attention for your posts here in the forum. A standard profile picture does not specifically encourage you to open an account and take a closer look. If a profile is not maintained, the contributions and grid are usually the same. It takes effort, patience and perseverance to get people on his grid. Action = reaction. This is never quick! ;-)

Eine Feststellung:

Das hier ist eine Welt für Avatare. Wenn Du Dein Avatar Gesicht ins Profil gibst, an Stelle des Standardes Vorgabe Bildes, bekommst Du wesentlich mehr Reaktionen und Aufmerksamkeit für Deine Posts hier im Forum. Ein Standard Profil Bild animiert nicht speziell einen Account zu öffnen und näher anzusehen. Wenn ein Profil nicht gepflegt wird, sind meistens auch die Beiträge und Grid so. Um Leute auf sein Grid zu bringen, braucht es Anstrengung, Geduld und Ausdauer. Aktion = Reaktion. Das geht nie auf die schnelle! ;-)

**** OPENSIM Grandpiano V4 - NOVEMBER 12th 2025 Updated Release! ****
**** AVAILABLE AT SOUND SECTOR ****

What's New from V3??
• Fixed the glitch when piano is touched (owner or not) and nothing is selected, music stop being played by the slave prims and play only from root prim
• OpenSIM GrandPiano V4 uses now 1 script instead of 3 from old version - so less lag to your region!It recognizes all prims called "speaker" and sound come from each of them!
• Fixed the issue when more than 1 piano rezzed in a same region! They don`t interact with each other anymore.
• Fixed the issue on NOTECARDS "ALL" and "AVE MARIA" where some of the UUIDs were not properly insert so sound was not played.

OBS1: If sound not coming from the invisible boxes (the speakers) on 1st time when rezzing the piano, stop the music and reset the script.

OBS2: Special thanks for Clifford Hangar, owner of ALTERNATE METAVERSE GRID (AMV) who kindly helped me with this script (up to V3) and I could share to Opensim citizens. V4 modified and simplified via DeepSeek AI

Enjoy :)

🧨 Xara Petite bei BK Mode: Die Kollektion, die sich nicht entschuldigt

Sechs Outfits, ein Ziel: den Raum übernehmen, bevor du überhaupt „Teleport“ sagen kannst. Diese Looks sind nicht für stille Ecken gedacht – sie sind für Avatare, die wissen, wie man pixelweise Präsenz zeigt.

Ob Glitzer, Jogger oder Bikini – Xara Petite spielt nicht mit Trends, sie macht ihre eigenen. Die Farben? Laut. Die Schnitte? Unverschämt gut. Die Haltung? „Ich bin da, du kannst jetzt aufhören zu scrollen.“

Hol sie dir jetzt!

Only a few days left until Halloween, so here are two of my rare Halloween collection packages for you.
Don't forget! On October 30th, everything will be removed and packed into vendors.
