Bushidoc says:
"I will be forever grateful for Torley's Tip's & Trick's Videos in/of Second Life, because of the one he has done that introduces the free photo manipulation software called "GIMP" that I now use for the majority of my work/fun in SL, which is imported here to flickr (which again; I first heard about from him), and to be added as a contact/friend of Torley's is truly an honor. Cheers Torley !"

Shine,little dreamer,shine..."

And I seem to be stalking him a lot too nowadays, just because I'm fascinated by all the things he does, and the fact he loves Watermelons just makes him even more awesome! If I had the chance to meet him in R/L, I would. He deserves a medal for everything that he has done! -- Have a Happy Halloween Torley!!"

Torley is the famous Linden
He's the one that does the blog

I can say no more.

isfullofcrap says:
"The greatest painters in history are the scholars of the chemistry of color, the physics of the canvas, the study of geometry and balance, and the structures through which we sense the world and find it beautiful.

Whether you think of Second Life's viewer as a canvas upon which Torley paints another world or a camera's lens that Torley beckons us to peer through to explore, he has certainly mastered the medium and yet strives to improve upon what we've dubbed perfection."

ShoshanaEpsilon says:
"Torley does soooo much for SL. And she's totally talented. She can create machina, take pictures, build, she knows LSL, and she can defuse a nasty thread. What more can you hope for in an on-line personality?

I'll bet she's completely boring IRL. I'll bet she's always got her head in SL. ;)"
