THE MILL - Karter Stonecutter

A lovely special evening tonight at THE MILL where I got to hear for the first time, Karter Stonecutter. A voice full of rock angst seasoned and experienced. You just know he has had a career in music.

THE MILL - Karter Stonecutter
Loegan Magic and Porter Paquot has a great place called THE MILL where they welcome avatars to just hang out for parties, live music and even trivia nights!

THE MILL - Karter Stonecutter
In Loegan's words about Karter Stonecutter


"A self-taught musician, Karter plays by ear and has paved his successful professional path with no formal training. His travels have placed him on stage with Michael McDonald, The Temptations, Cheap Trick, Heart, Jackson Browne, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Jefferson Starship, Air Supply, The Tubes and Frankie Goes To Hollywood."

Tip Corbett, pianist has composed contemporary, avant garde pieces for the discerning musical taste. His concerts are improvisional and he takes the time to give a lecture on the architecture of the music. The concerts are a learning event!

cherry manga at tournicoton art gallery


cherry manga at tournicoton art gallery, originally uploaded by rafeejewell.





My avatar was bitten by the cyber bug after watching Tron, the big Disney release in mid-December. I had to burn that feeling so I walked about in a cyber outfit for a few days.


rafee at tournicoton art gallery show

On Dec 19th, I went over to Tournicoton Art Gallery to see Cherry Manga's installation. The ghostly white installation was stark against the black night and the artwork floated in the sky near the long walkway.

Other artists were at the show, but I was there to see Cherry's work as she has been a favorite artist of mine for a very long time.


JayJay Zinfanwe just sent out the UWA (University Western Australia) announcements for December's round of their art challenge and low and behold! Cherry Manga's work was the winner for last months competition. 



His comments, "...Cherry Manga's  IL PLEUT SUR MON COEUR COMME IL PLEUT SUR LA VILLE (It's raining in my heart, as it's raining in the town) took out the top prize (L$10,000) for the December round of the UWA 3D Open Art Challenge. "

Go and check out her work at the UWA show! You will also be mesmerized by her work. 
She deserves the recognition and the win. Her work has always captivated me in more ways than I can explain.


For more info, please visit UWA's website. 
January kiosk for receiving artwork is located here: slurl.com/secondlife/UWA/63/128/249
