If you've ever gone freebie shopping and seen interestingly decorated boxes with unusual things inside like hobo boots, hobo bicycle, hobo blimp, hobo backpack, etc., you've found some of the work of Arcadia Asylum. More obscure, but equally free are her avies, clothing, architecture, vehicles, indoor and outdoor decor and a myriad of other doo-dads she made to strike her fancy. Much of her work is old, distressed, rusted, slummy, or otherwise intended for the SL hobo community.

During her very brief stay in SL, she was incredibly prolific, producing hundreds of objects of great detail and complexity in many cases, other things with single prim simplicity using delightful textures to captivate, enthrall, beguile and draw her admirers into rapture. A group, the Arcadia Asylum Recovery group was formed to pull all her work together and make it available to everyone. [1] An Arcadia Asylum Library was formed to facilitate that. Free vendors are available there and you can take anything you want from the vendors that are in operation. It is hoped you will contribute items we don't already have. Submit your obscure items to Mally McGinnis, Arcadia Asylum librarian.

Reasons for her departure from SL are unconfirmed but suspected to be, at least, two fold. There are unscrupulous SL marketers who are selling her work despite the fact that each item comes packaged with her strongly worded notecard demanding that her creations remain FREE to anyone and everyone. It is also rumored that she lost a portion of her inventory in an SL event.

Those interested in learning about building in general, about the brilliant possibilities of textures, about the clever use of scripts, about whimsy, or just about exploring the creative side of one human being's spirit, you're encouraged to visit [2] An Arcadia Asylum Library. Scrutinize her work, take some stuff home, tear it apart, study it, rebuild it and learn some things about how one person approached it.
