Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

Cyril’s “Emma B25” is a lovely black and white picture. I love the way he used blur to create a feeling of movement.

This picture is a little confusing. He’s wearing a nice suit and standing in the water. Why? When a picture confuses me sometimes the title helps. This time, not so much: “Imprecise, and you would like me to take you, then come, in the martian life” just makes me more confused. However, Jackson Pollack’s “Greyed Rainbow” is a good example of understanding not necessary to be a great piece of work. 

“Jardin d’hiver” or “Winter Garden” is extraordinary. It’s one of those pictures where I am left wondering if it is real life or Second Life. It is simply perfection. I love how he is so perfectly in the field, his hands behind some grass, showing through. So beautifully done. 

Cyril’s stream is a mix of pictures taken with a camera in real life and screenshots taken in Second Life. Sometimes you have to check whether he put the picture in an SL group or if there is a camera listed, a Leica if you’re interested.
