Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting
Wishing On Airplanes has a very new photostream with less than 100 followers, but her talent is so mature, I speculate there might be another account that is full of photos. Of course, she could be magical right from the beginning. She doesn’t say. But look at this seascape. I can almost feel the rocks poking my feet, the cool water, and most of all, the temptation to sit on the rock next to the mermaid and bask. It so beautiful composed with the curving line of the rocks meeting the water. It looks so real.

This Untitled pic of a shed dappled with sunshine, surrounded by flowers, and graced with a cat is lovely, but also it feels so real. It’s also her first picture. Mind blown.
This picture is one of the few in her stream that doesn’t make me wonder at first, is it life or Second Life. Perhaps that is why it is one of my favorites. It certainly is easier to recognize SL when there are people or critters in the pictures. I noticed that in her small, but mighty, stream, you never see her face. I didn’t intentionally seek out someone looking away in the same vein as yesterday’s column, it is a happy accident. I like that you can see how much can be expressed with just the body, no facial expressions to tell you she is enjoying herself.
Wishing On Airplanes only has about two dozen pictures, more accurately, twelve rendered in color and in black and white. It’s fun to see the contrasting emotional effect of the color and the B & W pictures. Her account is brand new, beginning March 2025, but her pics have the assurance of a practiced, skilled artist and I would not be surprised to learn she has been shooting pics in SL for a decade or more. She only has 73 followers which means folks need to get busy and click that Follow button.
