Art Walk post 8: Maymay Matova, Miss Longtail, Izo Ryba, Pieni

Here are some works I found at the Barrel House for Art Walk.

Maymay's art is famous among tinies and beginning to become so among the SL art scene in general. Her happy drawings of little critters, nature and farm life make people want to fill their houses with them. I know this for a fact, as I did it at mine, and have seen several people do it. Some of her works are by her store.

She also has a spot in the hedge maze below, by a big cactus with pink flowers. Make sure to pick up her art in some real life products as well.

I sneaked in and put a few works next to hers in the Barrel House. The purple cat is a donation item to help Bri become the great teacher she is destined to be.

Miss Longtail is a great visual artist, as well as a Live Singer. She is also a popular dinkie designer. I love her unique drawing style and she has great taste in everything from how to decorate her studio to using her art in real life products. Her art is close to the bridge to Windmill house.

Last but not least, Izo Ryba did some really fun portraits of her tiny friends. She is a well known talented designer of tiny items, especially those of Japanese nature.

Maymay Matova and Miss Longtail have an exhibit opening at Gallery 24

Two of our own artists Maymay Matova and Miss Longtail have an exhibit opening at Gallery 24 (curated by Kayly Iali) on 12th of March, 2-4 pm SLT. Live singer Miss Longtail and DJ Story provide the entertainment! The exhibit featuring real life drawings and paintings by both artists will run through March and April.

At the risk of getting tickles for going too early, I went to see if there was anything there I could show a picture of without giving too much of a spoiler. So I got a peek at the party spot for you.

And because tinies never wait for permission, of course I found Brandi Whittenton already there, browsing! Hehe. She promised to allow a picture, soon as she touched up her make up. She was plenty gorgeous before as well. ;)

More about Maymay Matova

As it is the last weekend of her special exhibit at Galleria Kakku, I decided to tell you all more about Maymay Matova.

Maymay is known as the creative force behind Maycreations, which makes items for regular avatars, tinies, dinkies and petites. These well fitting, good looking items are a must for anyone who likes biker type fashions, or any fashions really.

But this lady is busy with another great project as well. Her art! Real life drawings of a magical world of her own creation are taking over the art world. Especially the hearts and minds of anyone who loves cute and colorful things. I have been swapping stories with other fans about how taking home a piece by Maymay is making us happy. She even has her art on clothing now.

I just visited her new art studio at her Art Island. She has redecorated the island and it looks fantastic. I first went there looking for the painting of her and our friend Butter, in which Butter is cutting her hair after a long winter hibernation. Yes Maymay is part of the tiny culture, and that shows in her work. Some of the best gifts I have ever been given were paintings of me and a friend she did as a commission.

You can probably tell Maymay is a close friend of mine. But her art transcends any one community or culture, as does her personality. She is a German gorgeous woman, tiny bear, great friend and a very talented artist. You should come see her in our new location after this exhibit ends January 31st. (Yes we are moving, more on that, soon!)

Special Exhibit by Maymay Matova until end of January

There are things afoot and changes coming to Galleria Kakku.
But you still have time to visit the Special Exhibit by Maymay Matova until end of January! Take friends. Wear warm clothes. You can get free ice skates and gifts at the location. And so much pawsome original art is available there! Visit the gallery building next door as well.
