*New* Pietmond is shaping up. I see now that Carcass-One, the virtual village I created and owned in May and June of this year, was probably just a warmup of sorts for this 3rd version Pietmond. The giant X shaped gallery (X Spot) has been re-rezzed and set on the ground this time, at the very southern limit of Pietmond where the Otaki Gorge sim borders Kopikopiko to the south. Kopikopiko, by the way, is another New Zealand related name, as are many sims in Sunklands as a whole, like Otaki Gorge itself. I had to edit the X Spot down a bit from its original Carcass-1 version, but the essence is the same. And now, underneath the X gallery in the open spots formed in the spaces between the arms of the overall “x” shape, I’ve created New Pietmond, or the apparent center of such. I believe a focus will be on the SoSo Gallery (formerly SoSo East), which will still contain the Oblong series of my Art 10×10, probably the most important and consistent series in this opus. Working on the assoc. “Floydadada” text seems a given… hafta pull that out of mothballs soon. Other structures have been incorporated into New Pietmond already, including the econo slum tower (called Gallery in the Rocks when it held fellow syncher Stegokitty’s art), Home Orange, and others. Very exciting! And it also reminds me of Lion’s Roar and its protective, overhanging wall, with the giant “x” filling in for the wall. There’s actually 2 “x”s in the shape, woven together to form a more solid mass. Anyway, everything it being raised to another level, virtually speaking. Pietmond is reborn a 3rd time, it seems.
