Cajsa's Choices: Hilarious Retirement Home Group Photos By French SLers

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

Mathilde De Cyriac shared this great group shot “les beaufs à la maison de retraite” (The Rednecks at the Retirement Home). I love these collaborations because it is so much fun to see how people looking at what is essentially the same thing come away with such different versions. It’s a useful reminder that we don’t all see the world in the same way and may often describe what we see very differently.

Rimgal Kirax called his shot “Panic at the Retirement Home” and you can imagine they are panicking at the sight of their meal just delivered to one of them. On the other hand, it could be a subtle reference to Panic at the Disco though they clearly aren't ready to retire yet.

Luke had them draw closer for a more intimate picture called “Pécho l'infirmière…” or Pecho the nurse. There is some inappropriate behavior going on and the others seem a bit disturbed by it. 

Donair Reject also had them a bit closer in “Les vieux beaufs se rebiffent” or The Old Rednecks Are Rebelling. Another fun picture that suggests a closer friendship than the other pics. 

I love collaborations, especially when they shift around a bit so they achieve each artist’s own idea of what they want. The pictures are not identical, some want more intense color, or funnier poses, or something more casual. It’s just a lot of fun to see how several people see the same thing.
