Hi
I have just fulfilled a long term project to bring what is arguably one of the most iconic twentieth century American paintings to life by building it in Second Life. Actually that's only half true; I built it so that I could try to capture the atmosphere on film (i.e. to create a piece of SL machinima) and so really bring it to life! I won't spoil the surprise by telling you which famous painting, rather you can enjoy the ride here:

Oh, just to conform with the requirements of this part of the forum I'd better post a still from the end of the film here, but 'Spoiler Warning' - this gives the game away, so best not look at it till after you've seen the film!

I hope you enjoy it lots!

Warm wishes

Oops! That's not the one I did. I did the Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Oooh that should be your next undertaking! I'll be Marilyn! :D

Really you did an awesome job with this.
