Hello  everyone  and welcome to the  first edition of the
Imperial art package.  This  has  been a very  hectic  month
organizing this newly merged group.  It  took a while to get
linked up, and to  think  up of a name, but as you can tell,
everything is going great.

The Merger

The  two groups  that formed Imperial were  Grip (Graphic
Revolution in Proccess) and Nwa (New Wave Artists).  Both me
(The Narccissist) and The Night Prowler both decided that we
both run good art groups,  but things were missing.  Both of
our respected groups had  stronger areas then the other, and
it only seemed right that we combine all our  talent to make
a better group.  Instead of  running two rival  groups we've
decided to work together and do the best we can to make this
group a big success.  For  the first few days we settled the
decisions about  positions and  sites,  and how we'd run the
group, who would do what etc., but  the longest  decision to
decide was the name, there were many suggestions, and at one
time  we  had decided to use the name Domination,  but since
the artists  weren't too happy about it,  we  decided on the
name Imperial, a name which was suggested by Zorlak, and I'm
glad we finally decided!

Another  key  part of the merger were the two main  areas
where the groups were located.  Nwa was  an  art group  that
was based in western Canada, with sites around North America
but all our  artists in 604 (British Columbia).  Grip seemed
that is was mainly based in  the east,  Montreal to be exact
(514).  This  seemed to  be like the perfect east meets west
merger, bringing both sides of Canada together.

I'm  not  sure  if there  will be any other major mergers
for the group, and with  The Night Prowler I  think we  will
do  the best for the group.  In working with TNP, I've found
that not  only is he a very great ansi artist and coder, but
he is also a great person.  Easy going  and easy to talk to,
and he also runs Never Land,  a board with the best Renegade
setup I've ever seen.  I take my hat off to TNP.

Lastly =]

This is just the first of what I estimate to be very many
art packages.  We were kinda shaky  getting this one off the
ground,  but  I'm sure in the months to come that we will be
able to produce even more quality work.

I'd like to take  this time to send out special greets to
The Night Prowler,  Six Pack  for  keeping  in touch with me
while the merger was going through,  The Masked Pirate,  who
likes to stay modest although he's one of the best we've got
and to all former Nwa and Grip members, I'm glad that we are
all together and producing quality artwork.

And finally,  I'd like to ask you all to read COBAIN.ANS,
it is something I  wrote in the memory  of my favorite music
artist,  who commited  suicide in early/mid  April.  Nirvana
will always be No.1 in my mind.
