On 4/20/2020, the “Thunderchild Gallery Workshop” (TCGWS) became a virtual reality for me. I decided to go full blown on an gallery and workshop project in place of my RL gallery shows, which had taken a dive with everybody else's.  The project swelled to multiple regions then scaled back to two. 
The basic goal is to build a space and community for RL (real life) & SL (second life) artists learning and supporting each other.  The mission statements are as follows.


To Provide an affordable and supportive exploration space for new & seasoned SL Residents in general.
My life centers around art, music, motorcycles, and bodily repairs from my life collection of adventures. I am a disabled veteran and a member of the New Mexico Veterans Art group for IRL. SL has become my creative escape space for products IRL and SL. My artwork becomes products in both the real and virtual worlds. In SL, I'm a Satyr hybrid who is an artist and philanthropist.
To Provide a living space for new and seasoned artists for learning and working as artists in the RL/SL environment.
To provide tenants, group members and 3rd parties an affordable display and event space as in-World artists and performers.
To build an SL community of RL artists and performers providing mutual support and learning across both Worlds.


Project wise, I am still in the construction phase for the sites with a planed turnover in November 2020. Then I'll begin a mesh conversion on builds.
In the late 1960's, I started my engagement in the art and science programs at the Kirk Patrick Planetarium at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds. It was there, I created and sold My first artwork. Over the decades, I received both private and academic training in art, illustration and drafting. I've been able to apply those skills throughout my professional career life. I've created university course materials, architectural and construction plans, network diagrams, clothing, and custom leather and motorcycle gear designs.


TCGWS aims to provide resources to enable in-world sales space and support.  Office space with work and meeting spaces.
I believe that visual art can be a strong communication and emotional experience just as is music, poetry, and prose. Our world and lives are too complex to remain a simpleton, you'd only get kicked to the curb of life. At times I can be a minimalist, seeking to use simple forms to express meaning. Then I can be manically attentive to detail striving for a more complex image. More recently, I've been focusing adapting my recent artwork into textures, prints, and products for SL and RL and striving to match them as much as possible.
Resources include the following
Spacious small and large loft buildings for single or shared tenancy. Subletting with approval.
A large art boardwalk span the area and is available for artwork displays and sales for tenants and group members.
Rent includes display space on boardwalk, grounds and stores plus vending services and help with SL Marketplace.
Rent include the shared prim allowance for the parcel.
Sky sandboxes (4,096, 8,192, & 16,384  SqMtr) use with no refresh times.
Artist's Store for sales space.
Grounds are available for hosted events and parties for tenants and group members.

I am AJ Leibengeist (aka Thunderchild Allen).

I'm an independent mixed media artist in Real Life (RL) and Second Life (SL). My project is the Thunderchild Gallery Workshop (TCGWS) in Second Life and Real Life. I moved my business focus into the virtual world at the start of the pandemic, 4/20/2020.

My life centers around art, music, motorcycles, and bodily repairs from my life collection of adventures. I am a disabled veteran and a member of the New Mexico Veterans Art group for IRL. SL has become my creative escape space for products IRL and SL. My artwork becomes products in both the real and virtual worlds. In SL, I'm a Satyr hybrid who is an artist and philanthropist.

In the late 1960's, I started my engagement in the art and science programs at the Kirk Patrick Planetarium at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds. It was there, I created and sold My first artwork. Over the decades, I received both private and academic training in art, illustration and drafting. I've been able to apply those skills throughout my professional career life. I've created university course materials, architectural and construction plans, network diagrams, clothing, and custom leather and motorcycle gear designs.

I believe that visual art can be a strong communication and emotional experience just as is music, poetry, and prose. Our world and lives are too complex to remain a simpleton, you'd only get kicked to the curb of life. At times I can be a minimalist, seeking to use simple forms to express meaning. Then I can be manically attentive to detail striving for a more complex image.
