The driver informs me that I hailed him several days ago, and I have been in a deep, alcohol-induced slumber ever since, leaving him no choice but to drive endlessly around the block with the meter running. Calmly instructing the fool to pull over to the side of the road, I grab him by his poorly kept hair, and repeatedly bash his head against the steering wheel until his brain becomes so drenched with blood that he begins convulsing like popcorn. Proceeding towards home on foot, I encounter a roving gang of hoodlums who somehow regard my wallet as something worth risking their lives stealing. In one fluid motion, I unveil my trusty TR-870 automatic shotgun, and dispatch them as quickly and as easily as the deadly weapon allows. I finally arrive at my place of residence, where I quickly down a few cases of Nestea for the purpose of rehydrating myself. I then boot up my computer and log onto the Dark Illustrated WHQ, The Lethal  Aspect, and peruse the message bases, where I read therein that several Dark-related events have taken place in my absence.   Üß °ÜßßßÜ° ßÜ  ° °²Û²° ² Ü±Ü ² °²Û²° °  ° ßÜÜÜß °     Dark Illustrated: Editor in the house... Grail here, taking over as this month's wordsmith. I hold my breath as I fill in a pretty big spot. Anyway... aside from that, I'm sitting here in the Editor's role pondering on what the hell I should write about for this month's Info file. I guess I should mention that there are a few new members for the month of June which I have the opportunity and pleasure of introducing. Status on an HQ board and Member Boards as well as news from the front...the social front in regards to Dark members. ... And thus begins Dark's Summer of Hate Tour. A summer filled with ever-encompassing darkness and despair. When you find one day the sun has disappeared, you shall know who rules the world ... Muahahaha...         Üß °ÜßßßÜ° ßÜ  ° °²Û²° ² Ü±Ü ² °²Û²° °  ° ßÜÜÜß °   Dark Illustrated: Social Misconducts... Well, Sunday 23rd came and went and along with it, Dark hosted a VGA competition on the Internet Relay Chat. Organized by Arzach and judged by Burnout, Purple Dye, Egoteq and myself. Channel #vga saw  many pop in within the four hour long contest and participants showed up and strutted their talents to the fullest of their  capabilities. Among the contestants, Dark's own Arzach took first place, Kosh second, Edge third and in fourth place  Method Man; other notable contestants were  Armaggeddon Donut, Black Guard, Bedlam, Prison Breaker, and  MagneticM coming in that order of scoring. It was a good day to socialize on IRC. Look for the IRC VGA competition art pack floating around, featuring all the  weird and wonderful works of the participants.   A Dark "meet" was also held during this same week, proving to all that the fun doesn't necessarily end when the sun goes down. (Or when itrains, for that matter.) Those Darkies present and accounted for included Arzach, Burnout, Carnifex, Grail, The Green Hornet, Mist of Death, Oxygene, Prison Breaker, and Purple Dye.  Nuclear Inferno, a non-Dark member, also tagged along for the ride. In addition to wrecking havoc in our wake, fruitful discussions were held about Dark, various side-projects, and zinderfines. It is expected that Dark will experience many exciting triumphs in the near future as a result of this gathering. Interestingly enough, Black Ire, the one responsible for organizing this meet, failed to attend. Oh well -- maybe next time, Selvin!

Not mentioned, however, was the addition of a new arrival from Wyld. In addition to the previously unmentioned arrival, Dark also finds new talent from other local groups as our Summer of Hate Tour kicks into high gear this June. The - If you have been following Wyld Studios since November, the Anarchist addition of The Anarchist's role as the BBS Mod Division Head boosted Wyld Studios' productivity with kick ass coding. Now Dark has the pleasure of exploring the wild side of whom we call The Anarchist. Trash - In a return engagement from nowhere. Trash rejoins the ANSI Department from a long sojourn from reality. Still just as good when he disappeared the first time. Evil   - I actually don't know much about the artist whom everyone Genius  knows as Evil Genius. But with a name like that, I'm pretty  sure his artistic talent must be phenomenal. Genius I say, pure ANSI genius. WatOr - In a return engagement fromout of nowhere. (Deja Vu?)  WatOr rejoins the ANSI Department with 'DoRK' written all  his forehead. I mean 'Dark!' :) I'm sure you'll enjoy this month's TERRIFIC WatOr toon as much as I did.   Üß °ÜßßßÜ° ßÜ  ° °²Û²° ² Ü±Ü ² °²Û²° °  ° ßÜÜÜß °  Dark Illustrated: Internal Structure Not a lot to report this month in regards to internal structure, except for the fact that the Internet Division has blossomed. With additional help from the rest of the Dark Members, it is now a complete group on its own. Joining the Internet Division are Grail and Purple Dye as the new Dark site's Webmasters, and Arzach becomes Head Graphic  Supervisor. Cyber X, Burnout, and Prison Breaker are also on the roster.  With the addition of experienced staff to the division, not only will Dark's World Wide Web Site grow into something; it will be the place to to be. You can expect that more members will be participating in its development as the days go by. Reach the beta test of the site at: http://wyldstudios.com/~purpled As further development continues the official site will be moved to: http://wyldstudios.com/dark To avoid confusion, Wyld Studios still does exist. No longer an art group, but as a full-time business dealing in web publishing, graphic graphic art consultation and illustrations, as well as other related services.  USHQ: East 1999 With the loss of Tribal Siege's Tundra, East  1999 is the new USHQ. Like it's predecessor, Skypager's board is just as great as well as easy on the eyes. =) Member Boards: The Feanorian Letters & The Way Station Well along with the merger from Wyld; two boards officially become members boards and i myself would like to say that with the addition of these boards, the Hamilton Dark Chapter will quickly see rapid change and productivity by providing a really good communication hub with the rest of Dark. Welcome to the fold, and embrace the darkness.  °°°° °ÜßßßÜ  ÜßßßÜ° ² Ü±ß ² °°°miscellaneous°°° ² ß±Ü ² ßÜßÜß°°ßÜßÜß ßܲ±    Dark Illustrated: The Collections±²Üß  °  °  For the latest available DARK Collection, you can check out Halaster's     Regency or the Washington University Archives [wuarchive].
