When I became a young adult computers were beginning to become more democratic it became a new tool to express my creative inclinations and over time it became a real life job in graphic design. I have been working in Photoshop for twenty years, but I did not work in 3D modeling before Second Life. Just like many people I started by just walking around in SLife from time to time until the day I found a rose flower on the ground one of those old famous roses made of a ton of Lego-like prims but it was full perms. I took one and tinkered with each prim to make an outfit for my avatar that is how I discovered anyone could freely build in Second Life. This was a childhood dream come true it was a huge high-tech Lego set at my fingertips when sculpty prims became a Second Life-changing experience. The spirit of a sculpt is like origami paper close to the logic of nature by doing more with less, a thriftiness art that I have tried to integrate into my 3D modeling apprenticeship. I am a small craftsman at most that likes simple tools and the constraint tends to serve the imagination and drive to excel.” Dop decided to concentrate on landscaping items after first “creating custom large builds with old and un-sizable mega prims
in order to create a sim wide build but with low prims. Prims became an obsession for these types of builds combined with trying to hide what could be called ‘the smell of prim’ which means trying to hide the repetitive geometry of primitive elements the eye can perceive. It is intrinsic characteristic of the work for plants to hide the prim geometry and build lightweight especially when making grass because it deeply involves all of these technical criteria, and it was also a kind of ultimate utopia of making in a single prim an item that represents the multitude which nature does so well.” “The magic of working with plants and landscaping items is the never ending diversity of shapes, styles, colors as a creator it is not only a challenge your work never becomes boredom because of the challenge surfing the narrow ridge between realism mixed with a bit of surrealism. I try to follow my intuition and not limit the type of work I will do and to listen to what people tell me their need unfortunately the lack of time doesn’t allow me to answer every wish but all of the feedback I receive are like seeds some of which take root and grow. I hope people enjoy the items from KIDD Garden this is my ultimate goal to give pleasure, joy,
