ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄùù ú  ú

            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.


                                                 ú  ú ùùÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´

                                  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.
