Mijn Boa’s Artwork on Sale @ L$50 for a Limited Time
January 13, 2009
Many of us were first introduced to the art of Mijn Boa, who goes by the handle Mijn Schatje (meaning “my little treasure” in Dutch) in real life, many months ago when her works were showcased in the Tableau art gallery, when the sim was themed like a Mexican desert. Mijn is an illustrator and graphic artist based in Paris, who is associated with the Arts Factory Gallery (Paris) and refers to herself as “a digital lowbrow/pop surrealism artist”. Her artwork has been displayed in galleries across Europe as well as in the United States.
Using Second Life™ as a medium to bring about new awareness of her work has allowed Mijn to expose people from around the world to her signature style. If you haven’t yet seen the idyllic fairy tale faces of her wide-eyed dolls, your time is limited within the realm of SL. On January 14, the gallery shop in which she sells her works along with those of fellow artists Marmite Xue (IRL: Eli Effenberger) and Chris von Steiner will close for an undetermined amount of time while Mijn focuses on moving and shaking in real life.
All works within the Mijn and Marmite Gallery at Aura (57, 79, 22) are being sold at the insanely affordable price of L$50. Mijn hopes to use the proceeds to buy a badge machine and turn her art into wearable pieces.
