My friend Mantis Oh AKA Cari Lekebusch just premiered a new build for his upcoming launch parties for his album State of the Art. Mantis has been an active member in Sl for over 3 years now and has a brand called Hybrid Productions. He is also an accomplished electronic music artist and runs his own recording label also called Hybrid Productions. Cari’s vision in SL was translated in prims by Hern Worsley of AVZ who was also the builder for Poetik along with Morgan Kincess of Digital Eyes who helped create the in world concept. I am hoping to spread the word about the sim because it will only be open for through the last party on the 11th and plus, Cari AKA Mantis is a great guy.
I describe the build as Gothic Ethereal Delight with a touch of macabre and zombieism as you can see in the pics above and below.

It is very Ethereal in feel but certainly not a place of heavenly delights!
The build appeals to the dark side in all of us that at the same time can be simply beautiful
That’s my friend Claude Fizz in the background and she simply looks smashing!
And oh the path throughout the build is Golden not Yellow (inside joke). So please drop by the sim, take some pics and enjoy the build. Oh and there is a little hunt going on as well- look for white hand drawn owls or spiders or lions.
