Arcadia Asylum is a content creator who is known for her 'hobo' creations in Second Life which are mostly found as freebies scattered around the Second Life Grid, though she has built (and given away) in a number of themes, including Privateer space, pirate and Victorian, Hobo, Slum, Steampunk, Aquatic or Mermaid, as well as specialty builds Like the Disney Nautilus, the journey to the center of the earth adventure ride and the first man in the moon adventure ride (just to name a few). Besides great texturing, her work often has an added element of humor and irony. She has been active inworld since Before 2007 under the names Arcadia Asylum, Aley Arai, Lora Lemon and Aley. Her builds exhibit an indepth understanding of Second Life and her use of textures and her scripts appear simple, but often are very sophisticated.
