13 Most Beautiful Avatars

Loosely based on the late Andy Warhol’s short films: 13 Most Beautiful Women and 13 Most Beautiful Boys comes 13 Most Beautiful Avatars, of the Second Life kind. The 36 x 48 inch, canvas mounted portrait prints are by Italian artists Eva and Franco Mattes, but the actual avatars are created by Second Life community members.

It appears as though Eva and Franco are defining this series of “beautiful” avatars in a physical sense – not by their accomplishments or credibility in the actual game itself. Hey they could be beautiful that way too. Perhaps there is some appealing history behind the avatar’s creator – who knows, but I want someone to create a series of paintings based on the title: “The 12 Most Ugliest Warcraft Characters” Hey c’mon, if someone does that I want credit.

    This is just sad.

    Indeed…I think these artists don’t see things from a Gamer’s perspective at-all.

    I saw RL’s Judge Posner recent transcript about ownership of avatar images. Based on his comments, Eva and Franco Mattes are stealing Residents’ identity to make money.

    Apparently Av images are only allowed to be reproduced by media (freedom of press) and not for 3rd party commercial gain.

    Or perhaps Eva & Franco got permission…?

    Unfortunately not sure if there’s a way to enforce…

    Every avatar – beautiful or ugly – can get their own avatar (and actually any snapshot, scene or virtual creation from SL) painted at our studio Secondlife-Art (www.secondlife-art.com). They are however hand-painted, not digitally printed. We will be happy to paint your “12 Most Ugliest Warcraft Characters” too, Shane ;-) Just send me an IM.
