Asian Vogue II - Pose & Photo by Del May

Del May is not your typical SL artist. Actually, there is nothing typical about Del May whatsoever. Her art and style is of her own and she is always evolving, pushing the boundaries one nudge at a time.

I have been following Del May’s work for just about a year now. When I first opened my Flickr account, she was one of the first artists that grabbed my attention. Many, many favourites ago - Del May caught my eye with some of the most unusual and poetic pieces of SL Art I had ever seen. To me, Del May seemed to be about risks, challenges and growth. Needless to say, Del May still has it.

From poses, to this unique style and to her works of art; Del May has made a name for herself. Del May did and still does things that no other artists have done. Yes, I truly do admire her and I am not alone.

Watching Del May develop over the last year has been exciting and like me, so many of us are curious to see what she will do next.

As for her poses, Del May’s shop has also done its share of developing. She certainly outgrew her little under water shop but it isn’t just the about quantity of poses she produces. These poses that Del May creates are works of art on their own. Whenever I am looking for something original, emotional or provactive - I visit Del May’s shop. Del May understands how form and movement can tell a story. Not only that, she understands how important every detail is to convey this story. I would think that those who visit Del May’s shop or use her poses are likely to agree, these aren’t your average poses. Del May poses are special.

When it comes to sharing her work, Del May stays busy with expos, like the one at nOrth Gallery and and recently at The Benzaiten Gallery – 13.

Another project, one I find to be most exciting, is Del May is opening her own space where she and others can share their work. Details will surely come out soon but for now I can say that I am sure that this will be another incredible venture we will all enjoy as it unfolds.

I’ve had the opportunity to meet Del May in world on a few occasions while supporting other SL Artists and attending various organized events. When you meet Del May in world, she is not at all intimidating. She is a warm personality; she is kind and flattering. However to look at her, Del May obviously stands out. Her looks are beautiful but not in the traditional sense. Del May is, in fact, a rare breed and is truly an individual in every sense.

Perhaps this is why we can’t stop watching?
