Starting on Thursday, Nov 15, The Ego Co’s special event ‘Around the World’ will take place at Westfield sim. While it’s not open yet, here’s a sneak peak at some of the special themed items I’ve made for Organica’s booth there!
I drew ‘Asia Major, which ATW designates as Russia and surrounding countries, so I chose to focus on two aspects of Russian culture.
Most people will be familiar with Matryoshka or ‘nesting’ dolls – usually they’re a series of painted dolls carved from a single block of wood, all successively smaller than the last. Traditionally they are paintings of Russian women, but themes can range from fairy tails to politicians; in this case, I chose to experiment with using the gourd-shape to define a series of animals from around the world.
This product comes with five unique dolls, each 1LI at packaged size. They come both closed and in two parts which you can de-link and assemble as you like. Mod, copy, no transfer. Only available at Around The World for the duration of the event (Nov 15 to 29 2012).
Suprematism was an art movement based on simple geometric forms and limited colours to portray artistic feeling rather than illustrating actual objects. One of the pioneers of this style was Kasimir Malevich, whose work has roots in cubist, futurist and modernist art; while I recognize a bit of the irony in taking inspiration from his work, I chose to work with the form of a table to explore it as a canvas and hopefully that comes through here.
This item is 2LI at packaged size and it’s mod, copy, no transfer. Only available at Around The World for the duration of the event (Nov 15 to 29 2012).
These two furniture sets are not based around any specific facet of Russian culture. Instead they are intended to compliment existing offerings and would look great with the Malevich coffee table! Each set comes separately or as a fatpack in one of three colours and includes both full size and petite size versions. Both of these sets focus on both single and couples animations, so you’re encouraged to give these items a try in-store! They range from 2-3LI at packaged size and are mod, copy, no transfer. Since they are being released at Around the World, they’ll be there exclusively for the duration of the event but, like all of the other ATW items, they’ll make their way back to the Organica main store at the end of the month.
Come see all of the above Around The World event releases at Organica’s booth, here!

Finally, here’s a release I made earlier last week but didn’t have a chance to discuss until now. This fire-hall is a highly detailed, fully mesh construction, featuring lovely exterior moulding work, detailed hand-painted textures with baked lighting, a fire pole, lovely spiral staircase and high, commercial-grade ceilings across three full floors. This build is wonderful for any metropolitan area and functions well as both a conventional fire-hall as well as a renovated and repurposed hall for residential use. Available in-store and on the Marketplace now! Mod, copy, no transfer (with some no-mod scripts).
