My First Entropian Gallery Opening

[PINKY]

A couple of days ago, I was privileged to have Ido Starlit Sunrider of Quantum Interstellar invite me personally to the grand opening of his new “Gallery of Contemporary Arts.”
Ido was one of the first to arrive on Calypso, just after the robot wars. Starting out as a trader, he soon recognized a gap in the market and became a pioneer in the then new profession of beauty, quickly rising to be one of the top skilled beauticians on Calypso (inspiring me in the process). Today, Ido becomes a pioneer in yet another new profession open to colonists of Calypso, that of gallery owner.

Inspired by the works of Japanese artist Masamune Shirow, and sketching by hand, Ido has taken advantage of the new Player Content screens to upload his own artwork for display to the public.

The gallery can be found in Billton Tower 3 Apartment 5G. Ido can be contacted here on the forum via private message for those interested in purchasing his artwork. However, on opening night, he remained focused on the art rather than a fast sale, despite several requests to purchase his work. He explained that a lack of new art appearing in the City of Culture at New Oxford inspired him to open his own gallery. Initially showing his own work, Ido plans to showcase all the different and diverse artists on the planet by displaying one new artist a month, and hopes to bring the culture back to our city and create a true gallery of the people in the process. Judging by the packed opening night, he can't possibly fail in this endeavor!

A Packed opening night!

Ido does not want to restrict the people to paintings and drawings only, and convinced there is an artist in everyone of us, Ido hopes to bring sculptures and other art forms for display in the gallery. “I want to encourage your creativity” he explains.

After seeing the beautiful sketches, I for one feel very inspired, and will break out the crayons with my daughter as soon as she gets back from nursery. If Ido can inspire me to draw, I am sure we can expect to see some more artists very soon!

Awesome + rep (also to Ido if I find him someplace in the forum).

Thats GREAT artwork.

Will only one sketch be used only once (as in tatoos), making my picture totally unique - if I buy one?

Thank you for the great review Pinky

Im so happy you could be there ... and do see so many people come to the opening of the gallery. I am really excited and looking forward to exibiting various forms of art ... i conducted talks with some artists and soon will start oppening exibitions for them :) of course i will notify everyone on the forum about it ...

I also plan to add more of my art into the game expand the current collection and add some pieces limited to a number of copies other totaly unique. I hope everyone will enjoy them just as much as the first collection or maybe even more :)
