Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting
Onceagain has a unique style that I like. Framing pictures like Polaroids is also so beautifully nostalgic. This picture from The Trace Too makes me want to go there so I, too, can sit on the swing even though suspending a swing from a dead tree is taking your life in your hands. But seriously, don’t you want to be there right now? [To teleport, click here]

“HOLE” is delightful. First of all, would you wear a bikini to go ice fishing? Don’t do this at home. I love that she shot from above. It’s such a unique perspective. For the record, with the outside light being so much brighter than the light from below, the fish is unlikely to be visible in this hole.
You can see the fish below in an ice-fishing shack, a small hut with a hole in the center of the floor where you drill a hole in the ice with an auger. No light is allowed, it’s absolutely black inside except for the light from below so you can see all the way to the lake bed. Then, it’s easy to spear the fish. There would usually be over 300 ice houses on our lake. However, they are much fancier today.
“RUN” is another one from a cool perspective, above and in front. Adding a subtle radial blur gives this feeling of movement. There is blur in the street, blur in the skateboard, blue in her clothes, but the clear, sharp focus on her knee. So cool.
Onceagain’s stream is so fun. I love her aesthetic, catching slice-of-life snaps like ice-fishing, ice-skating, drinking cocktails on a balcony, whatever she’s doing, she’s having fun. She also writes in her descriptions, telling you a little bit about herself or the picture. She often links music and sometimes includes landmarks for places she has shot at.
