A Word from the Land of the Lakes.... Well, another fast approaching holiday season, another ANSi group has made its name known in the lower 313 and 517 area codes. This time it is ATOMiC you may wonder why I phrase it this way. Let me start at this beginning for this artist in the area, I moved to Michigan in 1990, and started devoting more time to doing advertisments for the local BBSes. With an addition to my telephone coverage, I also gained a couple of BBSes outside of my area code. Meeting a few new people there that also shared my interest, SToRm was born, consisting of Spyder, Merlin, and myself. Approximately a year later, I quit the group due to the fact that I was the only artist who produced, Next I started my own group entitled CiA, Creators of Intense ANSi, where I was joined by Death the Immortal to find the main core. Later, Willard, a recruit of SToRm, also saw that the now defuct group was hopeless, and joined CiA along with Lsygeric ACiD. The four of us produced ANSis for many people, until Lsygeric ACiD dropped off the face of the planet, and Death the Immortal meandered for greener pastures(good Luck DM). This has left Willard and myself to provide ANSi coverage for a area that is decently populated with systems. We too looked for better and greener pastures, while neither of us feel that we are the worlds greatest Artists, we are not too shaby either. For now, the radioactive pastures of ATOMiC seem quite pleasant, and the future looks bright. While joining in the capacity of ANSi Artists, I am also a poet, and would like to further explore the idea of a lit dept. Dragging along with us, is a experieced set of Musicians, Psygnosis, and Eddie(World's Greatest Flyer) a RIP artist(menu guy) BucketHead, and possibly a coder/Raytracer Master Prog. We feel that in general, with the addition of our team to ATOMiC, the whole group gets stronger. We can all be reached on the COLD SNAP at 517-423-3378 under our listed handles. Frost Byte
