Here's the Flickr stream of Ms. Whiskey Monday, which after a year-long hiatus, is blossoming with powerful and surreal SL-based images that she's long been famous for.
"I've been gone from SL for a year, enjoying a far happier and healthier real life," Whiskey tells me, "but I'd missed working in SL and creating. I finally got some time to come back and play around. It's a far different place I'm in now, and I like it. This work comes from a more playful and happy place than my previous work."
That applies to the image above, "Raucous", which can be read as pretty grim, but is actually a fun visual twist on a couple common expressions:
"Basically I was thinking about how a group of Ravens is called an Unkindness of Ravens… Sometimes a phrase gets stuck in my head and I spend a lot of time rolling it around and holding it up to the light.
“An Unkindness of Ravens and a Murder of Crows —- I've been playing around with those in my head. I started thinking about a murder of scarecrows. You know I'm very into multiples. Second Life just makes it so easy and they're so effective when used well.
"So I rezzed a field of grass and a murder of scarecrows. I played around with angles and Windlights until I liked the look of it. Let's be honest, that's how every photographer works, right?
That may be the case, but few photographers come close to creating what Whiskey Monday does on any given day. See here to see what I mean.

an artist is an artist ... Whiskey has her own style .... you can take 'similar' photos without the meaning ... I still see hers as different ....
