Can you get me in?!?! $$$$$  $$$$$ ( Holocaust ) well send me ur work and i'll see what i $$$$$  $ý$ý$ cam do.. depending on if u do old school $ý$ý$  s$s$s ascii??! I am the founder/senior of bASiC s$s$s  $$$$$ =) $$$$$  $$$$$ ( Trend Hippie ) nah, soap is no dual-grouping, i'm stuck $$$$$  $$$$$ with em ;P Moving on, how did you start $$$$$  $$$$$ with ascii? $$$$$  $$$$$ ( Holocaust ) aRrgh!@#?!> this is gonna take a while... $$$$$  $ý$ý$ well i started doing ansi but it never $ý$ý$  s$s$s worked out so then I saw some new school s$s$s  $$$$$ ascii work by spiderman later $$$$$  $$$$$ turned into deep so I $$$$$  $$$$$ thought I would give it a try and well I $$$$$  $$$$$ did and I am where I am right now =) $$$$$  $$$$$ ( Trend Hippie ) That's pretty cool. What do you think of $$$$$  $ý$ý$ the ansi/ascii scene as of right now? $ý$ý$  s$s$s ( Holocaust ) well, it's doin great new artists every- s$s$s  $$$$$ where unlike b4 where it was wither u $$$$$  $$$$$ were good or you weren't and well u got $$$$$  $$$$$ all sorts of ummm, well can't really say $$$$$  $$$$$ medium levels of quality from ppl.... $$$$$  $$$$$ ( Trend Hippie ) Do you believe the ansi scene is getting $$$$$  $ý$ý$ out of control with all these new groups? $ý$ý$  s$s$s ( Holocaust ) well it seems there's less than there s$s$s  $$$$$ were a couple of months ago when it was $$$$$  $$$$$ insane and total anarchy but i guess it's $$$$$  $$$$$ calmed down... $$$$$  $$$$$ ( Trend Hippie ) Yeh, it seemed that people said "Shit! $$$$$  $$$$$ I'll open up a group that'll be as cool $$$$$  $ý$ý$ as ACiD!" but it never works out. The $ý$ý$  s$s$s ascii scene sure did go up on the rise s$s$s  $$$$$ though. $$$$$  $$$$$ ( Holocaust ) fersure.. i guess ascii just spontanious- $$$$$  $$$$$ ly grew out of nothing.. =) $$$$$  $$$$$ ( Trend Hippie ) Well, it seems after Trank opened up, $$$$$  $$$$$ ascii just skyrocketed! $$$$$  $ý$ý$ ( Holocaust ) hmm, i don't think it was trank that did $ý$ý$  s$s$s it, it was endow with the wicked artists. s$s$s  $$$$$ ( Trend Hippie ) Ahh but Endow came after Trank (i think) $$$$$  $$$$$ ... anyways, how do you think basic is $$$$$  $$$$$ doing in the ascii competition? $$$$$  $$$$$ ( Holocaust ) well, i dunno, i think we're higher rated $$$$$  $$$$$ more than trank is (don't really know). $$$$$  $ý$ý$ ( Trend Hippie ) I'd have to agree with you there. It $ý$ý$  s$s$s seems Trank's last pak wasn't as good as s$s$s  $$$$$ their first or second (no offense to you $$$$$  $$$$$ trank dudes). But what are your opinions $$$$$  $$$$$ about sOap ascii? $$$$$  $$$$$ ( Holocaust ) I dunno.. i think u guys are 3rd compared $$$$$  $$$$$ to basic and trank... from what i see in $$$$$  $ý$ý$ like msgz and stuff.. 1st..basic 2nd.. $ý$ý$  s$s$s trank 3rd..soap.. =) s$s$s  $$$$$ ( Trend Hippie ) I'd have to agree ;P What do you think $$$$$  $$$$$ the ansi/ascii scene will become of in $$$$$  $$$$$ the future? $$$$$  $$$$$ ( Holocaust ) It'll stay the same but eventually ppl $$$$$  $$$$$ will move onto making gifs and jpgs and $$$$$  $ý$ý$ other art like that.. $ý$ý$  s$s$s ( Trend Hippie ) it'll never overtake ansi/ascii, it's s$s$s  $$$$$ just too big... $$$$$  $$$$$ ( Holocaust ) give it time... give it time... $$$$$  $$$$$ ( Trend Hippie ) What kind of music do you prefer? ;P $$$$$  $$$$$ ( Holocaust ) I listen to alternative, rock, metal, $$$$$  $$$$$ classical, rave, dance, underground, $$$$$  $ý$ý$ jungle, house, hardcore, and other styles $ý$ü$  s$s$s of muzik... s$s$s  $$$$$ ( Trend Hippie ) Yer opinions on Grateful Dead... $$$$$  $$$$$ ( Holocaust ) not much except they're an OOLLLDD group $$$$$  $$$$$ but i like old as in pink floyd and led $$$$$  $$$$$ zeppelin... $$$$$  $$$$$ ( Trend Hippie ) The Dead Rock! ;P I enjoy zeppelin as $$$$$  $ý$ý$ well, so are you having a good day or a $ý$ý$  s$s$s bad day? ;P s$s$s  $$$$$ ( Holocaust ) in between typa day, just old regular $$$$$  $$$$$ jOe schmO. $$$$$  $$$$$ ( Trend Hippie ) Do you smoke cigs or any other drug? ;P $$$$$  $$$$$ ( Holocaust ) nope, but i can role'em and role da weed $$$$$  $$$$$ (but i do neither) but i like to drink, $$$$$  $ý$ý$ what a sport... $ý$ý$  s$s$s ( Trend Hippie ) Hummmm... that's kewl! ;P Drinking is s$s$s  $$$$$ great! Back to the scene, what do you $$$$$  $$$$$ plan to do in the furture of the ascii $$$$$  $$$$$ scene? $$$$$  $$$$$ ( Holocaust ) well, i dunno eventually quit the scene $$$$$  $$$$$ altogether and just go to school and work $$$$$  $ý$ý$ on animated art.. thats not until 2 years $ý$ý$  s$s$s til that's gonna happen... s$s$s  $$$$$ ( Trend Hippie ) Sounds pretty rad, i wish you luck dude, $$$$$  $$$$$ any greets before i let you go? $$$$$  $$$$$ ( Holocaust ) i dunno, ummm, just the ppl in the scene $$$$$  $$$$$ that do art.. keep up the good work and $$$$$  $$$$$ well i dunno but we gotta evolve one day $$$$$  $ý$ý$ or another.. =) $ý$ý$  s$s$s ( Trend Hippie ) Well thanx fer yer patience and time, s$s$s  $$$$$ this is the stoned hippy with a fukkin $$$$$  $$$$$ great interview, signing off woo-hoo! $$$$$  $$$$$ ( Holocaust ) later.. $$$$$  $$$$$ ( Holocaust ) wOoo.. $$$$$  ggggg ,í'ý*, ggggg  $ý$ý$ ( New Artist ShowCase: An Interview with Exulted .......... $ý$ý$  s$s$s `ù.,ù' s$s$s  $$$$$ $$$$$  $$$$$ [_GrifteR] Ok, first off, who are you? :) $$$$$  $$$$$ [Exulted_] i'm a new artist currently in 'blur productionZ' $$$$$  $$$$$ [_GrifteR] and blur is strictly ascii or ansi? $$$$$  $$$$$ [Exulted_] actually, it's all kinds of art ...ansi\ascii\ $$$$$  $ý$ý$ \rip\vga\lit\music ... $ý$ý$  s$s$s [_GrifteR] y'ok, and what do YOU specialize in? s$s$s  $$$$$ [Exulted_] i specialize in mainly ascii but i do some ansis $$$$$  $$$$$ rips and vga's... $$$$$  $$$$$ [_GrifteR] So which area code did blur originate out of? $$$$$  $$$$$ [Exulted_] blur came out of the 408's... $$$$$  $$$$$ [_GrifteR] How many packs do you have and how many have you $$$$$  $ý$ý$ been featured in? $ý$ý$  s$s$s [Exulted_] we released our first pack last month, the next s$s$s  $$$$$ one is soon to come out and i'm in both, so go $$$$$  $$$$$ d/l our packs! $$$$$  $$$$$ [_GrifteR] :) When did you first get involved in the art $$$$$  $$$$$ scene? $$$$$  $$$$$ [Exulted_] well... people in acid and ice inspired me to $$$$$  $ý$ý$ draw some art, so I began to do it just for the $ý$ý$  s$s$s hell of it... i became more interested.. then s$s$s  $$$$$ i joined up with blur productionZ $$$$$  $$$$$ [_GrifteR] coolio, so as far as ascii goes, do you go with $$$$$  $$$$$ the old school or the new school styleZ? $$$$$  $$$$$ [_GrifteR] like, which do you prefer? $$$$$  $$$$$ [Exulted_] i have to go with new school, the old school is $$$$$  $ý$ý$ too plain, but right now i'm getting into some $ý$ý$  s$s$s ascii pics... s$s$s  $$$$$ [_GrifteR] man, I've always had trouble getting into the $$$$$  $$$$$ pics :) So what's your opinion on some of the $$$$$  $$$$$ group's (sOap in particular's) rule on no dual $$$$$  $$$$$ grouping? $$$$$  $$$$$ [Exulted_] soap has many good ascii artists, lots of $$$$$  $ý$ý$ potential... like msd, i liked his pic for $ý$ý$  s$s$s pirahna s$s$s  $$$$$ [_GrifteR] so... uhmm... you figure they should stick with $$$$$  $$$$$ only the one group? ... to ensure high quality $$$$$  $$$$$ for that particular group? :) $$$$$  $$$$$ [Exulted_] heheh.. yea... they should only do work for one $$$$$  $$$$$ group... $$$$$  $ý$ý$ [_Grifter] anything else you'd like to say? :) $ý$ý$  s$s$s [Exulted_] ok, one more thing, we are always looking for s$s$s  $$$$$ more talented artists to join up with blur!! $$$$$  $$$$$ [_GrifteR] heh, okay, thanks for you time dood... $$$$$  $$$$$ [_GrifteR] :) peace... $$$$$  ggggg   ,í'ý*, ggggg  $ý$ý$ ( Do I hear...
