EDITOR´S NOTE September is a special month for many reasons... Its party time!!! Change of season, time of renewal and creativity are some amazing ways to celebrate it. Nothing better than talking about the art of being creative and how we express dreams, feelings and ideas through images, sounds, words and shapes. We can reinvent and make things even better! This is a new moment for the InnerWorld Magazine and for us. It is time for renewal, a new life, finding new real and virtual ways and the reassessment of ALL. And while we seek a foundation to fulfill more dreams, we thank our friends and readers, especially the kindness and support of Anderson Toll, the owner of the island where we are staying for while. And to celebrate this all, we are releasing the new edition in a special party, which also celebrates the opening of an amazing art exhibition. Nothing would make us happier than

returning in a beautiful exhibition of the Art of Don Hosho. When I think creativity is a feeling of fullness and something so subjective, which often interrupts my sleep, I seek an explanation of essence or a lack of understanding. Sometimes it is better being less rational, but "travel" on creative waves and skip to the end of the rainbow to find the pot of gold. Second Life gives us this freedom to create beyond imagination and AM Radio is a fantastic example of talent and resilience that deserves the highlights. Barnesworth Anubis is another amazing example of art, good taste and creativity that presents us with a delightful interview. Another reason that makes this month so special is the RL Thereaver Barrymore's Birthday, our "artist" on duty, and she has EVERYTHING to do with creativity. So, I decided to honor her, even though I'm not the designer here. Then, I allowed myself an "artistic and poetic license" to create something simple, but from my heart for her birthday. Of course we haven’t forgotten that fashion is also a male’s matter and brought a seductive and gorgeous fashion editorial for him. Have fun with the new cartoon and check our nice tips in the Top 5.

COVER´S CHALLENGE Hmm Finally a nice challenge. I confess that challenges always motivate me to reach good results. Unfortunately we received the message stating that AM Radio would decline not doing interviews. But, we didn’t give up putting highlights on this amazing artist.
How to get a picture of him if he is not there for a photo shooting? He hardly ever visits his installations. The first time I went to Red and Wild he was there, but I never dreamed he would be the cover of one of our issues. I never met him, although I have been many times to his Sims. But, I did not want to use simple pictures taken by other people, though if I did it, it certainly would be credited. When Ananda and I were planning an exhibition of Suzanne Graves at the headquarters of the InnerWorld at the end of May and she showed us some of her works, I saw an abstract portrait of a man with top hat, BINGO! I said it reminds of AM Radio and she confirmed it was him. Months later, while I was hunting AM Radio in Second Life, without any success, I remembered this picture. Suzanne Graves is a phenomenal artist, and we would love
13
to have one of her works on our cover.
Where is the challenge? Finding those people! Suzanne disappeared from SL, so I went hunting for AM Radio again. Between one and another of his installations, I finally found him in Towards The Sky. I took more than 40 photos! There we go! The cover was decided. I just needed to do the final artistic touches, including the logo and texts. The challenge was reached.
Few days after I´ve closed the cover design, Suzanne contacted me and she sent the master piece, I told you about. I ´d like to share it with you, because it ended not on the cover. I thank Suzanne with all my heart for that.
I hope you like it. kisses!

Her “conceptual art mixes kinetic objects, animated texture, ambient noise and av animations” – as she says- and it allows us to be free and live another reality.

Tableau is pure art and a fantastic dream. Since my first visit in its desert version long ago, this SIM has become a refuge and a must to me. This is a new presentation created by the amazing artists: Nylon Pinkney, Polyester Partridge and Toast Bard. If you like good taste, creativity, stylish fashion stores and art on the highest level, Tableau is your place. This new creation seems like a Mexican folk popular market and a performative island. Where else could you find masterpieces such as Van Gogh or a Monalisa to decorate walls, or buildings that resemble a work of Gaudi, and all next to a store that reminds one of Krishna Hindu Temples? There is no limit to their creativity... So, they decided to create a colorful theatre. You can walk through the festive alleys and get amazed by the perfect textures and playful architecture. It is a wonderland and nothing is less than a crazy dream. Maybe a Spanish windmill created by the talented Barnesworth Anubis can blow your fantasies to another atmosphere and you can find a beautiful and peaceful field of flowers to meditate in front of a Mrs Fishopolis statue or practice Tai-Chi or even dance happily surrounded by a colorful garden full of joy. There are much more surprises waiting for you and I suggest you run now to start this amazing adventure to their colorful palette. Location: Tableau (68, 143, 134)
