Through Owl's Eyes...

My first encounter with Scylla Rhiadra was several years ago through Intimacy, an exhibition exploring identity, self-representation, and the ways our virtual selves can reveal truths about who we are. I don’t remember every image from that visit, but I do remember leaving very impressed. Since then, I’ve crossed paths with Scylla’s work more than once. When I invited her to exhibit at Salt…

United Headquarters in Second Life is a social club, gallery, and creative space designed to bring people together through art, music, and shared experience. I was introduced to United Headquarters by Pagan Lane, an artist and the creative force behind the space. Like many spaces in Second Life, this one came to me through connection—through the people who move between galleries, music, and…

Twenty resident artists.Each gallery designed by the artist.Each one its own voice. Seventeen galleries are stewarded by Owl Dragonash. Three neighboring spaces are curated by Ceakay Ballyhoo.

There’s a kite string pulling upward over a misty canal, two dogs watching from a bridge below. A ghost-grey island settlement reflected perfectly in still water. Herons perched on coastal rock. A torii gate rising from a sepia sea. And then, just when the mood settles: pitcher plants in stark monochrome, or white reeds erupting against a blood-red sky. This is a collection that earns your…

At Hippiestock 2026, Lyric Luna was doing what she has loved since her early days in Second Life. Taking photographs. She and her partner were dressed in full hippie spirit, soaking in the scene. She was quietly capturing moments the way she always does. Not for any particular reason, just because something felt worth keeping. There was a photo contest running. She entered one picture, just for…

A wandering through Jade Koltai’s Inis Oírr in Second Life. The tide was already going out when I reached the harbor.Not quickly—nothing here moved quickly—but with the steady patience of something that had done this longer than memory. The water peeled itself away from the rocks, leaving dark lines behind, as if the shore were keeping score. The tide does not erase. It rearranges. A gull…

Hippiestock has always been about more than music. Yes, there are DJs and live performances. Yes, there are flowers, dancing, and late nights under glowing skies. At its heart, Hippiestock has always carried something deeper. Community, care, and the belief that joy shared can ripple outward into the world. That spirit comes into full focus during Feed a Smile and the Hippiestock Festival…
