We have wanted to start this kind of blog for a while now but have had excuse after excuse. Well, no more excuses. Its time to actually converse with other people striving to express themselves as the new canvas of virtual worlds becomes a more accepted medium.
Although all are welcome, most people who check this blog out will no doubt already be at least a little involved in a virtual world be it as an employee or third party content creator. If you are not already involved in creating digital content of some form or another, then you will hopefully be inspired to give it a try. For all intents and purposes, it isn't *that* hard and every voice (especially at this wonderful, early stage) is welcome.
A little about Matt & Don:
Matt Danzig is cofounder of and senior Art Director at IMVU.com. Prior to starting IMVU, he was the kinetic art director at THERE.com (in charge of all things that moved including avatars, pets, and vehicles).
Before that, he was starving and ill-natured...even chicken jokes couldn't add light to the vast emptiness known as his life.
Don Carson is Art Director at IMVU.com. Prior to that, he was the senior Art Director at THERE.com. Don has worked extensively on all manner of virtual world projects as well as countless thousands of concept projects.
Matt says: "Don is the MAN. Listen to everything he says - he knows his poop."
While there are lots of things that are pretty cool about IMVU, the coolest thing, by far, is the Creator program (which is our baby - and the reason we work at IMVU in the first place.) This program allows anyone to create and sell virtual goods in the IMVU catalog.
Although there are obvious ties to IMVU.com, this blog isn't about IMVU, per se. Rather, it is about creating content for virtual spaces. The Do's and Don'ts, if you will. For example:
Do: make lots of chicken jokes
Don't: make steak jokes
