`intro'
well, seeing as this is the first release for s2p, i'll introduc
e us.
I dont want to get ahead of myself though, so i'll start from th
e
beginning..  sabotage was originally formed about this time last
year
by metallic blood.  a new aspiring ansi artist (if thats what yo
u would
call a person bothering you for art left and right <grin mb>) wh
o
who wanted to start a group.  he was asking a lot of people in o
ur
area code to join the group.  I really dont know if he was doing

very well though, cause i can't remember.  anyway, i was in the
middle of applying to blade, when he asked me to join. (me being
mrc)
seeing as i was told that my chances of getting into blade were
%100
by a member inside the group, i just said "what the heck" and to
ld
metallic blood i would join sabotage if i did NOT get into blade
well, as luck would have it, i was denied membership in blade, b
e
it for political reasons or whatever.. but mC didnt like me i gu
ess.
so bound by word, i joined sabotage.  I hastily pushed for a jul
y
release, something that definately helped the group. The group d
id
ok for the next month after that.  after a couple of weeks into
august, the group seemed to be going nowhere.  and then metallic
blood moved to minnesota.  in a state of defunkedness, myself &
former
sabotage member dr. kevorkian impeached metallic blood as presid
ent,
and then proceeded to kill the group.  the only reason i had for
this
was because i was getting deep into a relationship with my now e
x-
girlfriend, and had no time for ansi.  there.. dead.. sabotage l
ayed

`revival'
since sometime last august, metallic blood has since moved back
to
wisconsin and has continued drawing.  he was a devoted blade mem
ber
throughout most of the time inbetween now and last year august.
we have been on speaking terms for quite sometime..  seeing as t
he
events of the past year had us a tad bit bitter with each other.

things had cooled off, and i had expressed an interest in drawin
g.
in febuary i was slightly interested in making music, through a
local group called 'circuitry' ran by dark prophet (greet to j0o
dp)
(and with that i cannot play favorites: greets to divine interve
ntion
and the whole ash kRo0 <g>).  Seeing as dp bugged me, i ended up

drawing a few fonts and all.  Then i got into ansi full blast, a
nd
approached metallic blood on the idea of starting a new group.
well, things went well.  we thought about it for a few days, and

decided that s2p was the name we liked.. after all, a name is ju
st
a name.. so even though sabotage/2 - pHUCt isn't a real sensical

name, we still like it.  Now with a whole new out look, and our
work looking better, we hope to stick around and do some art.

`policy'
ok just a little thing i feel like mentioning.  a lot of the stu
ff
going on in the art scene, is a little annoying.  i refuse to
bore you with one more dis-gruntled rant by some artist who feel
s
wronged in some way.  but as one of the founders, i decided to
try and instill the following ideal for our members: "art for ar
t's
sake".  which in my mind should be drawing for the sake of doing
it.  be it for fun or whatever.  pretty much keeping the politic
s
to a minimum.  which is kind of insane, cause regardless of what
one
says, the politics will always be there.  anyway, with people ta
lk-
ing all kinds of stuff about who is better than who, i say who c
ares?
draw cause you want to.  not cause you might be elite in someone

else's eyes, or perhaps cause you might get payed for it someday

cause face it, ansi artists make wages far below minimum wage.
10
hours on a 170 line ansi, that is worth about $25-35 bucks.. who
op..
anyway.. just a bunch of stuff..

`wrap it up fool'
thats  pretty much it.  this release isnt huge, but its pretty d
ecent
art.  i personally hope that all the members that have expressed
some kind of desire to make this their full time group, decide t
o
do that.  i know that there is some doubt in my mind, that some
of the members will actually do that.  anyway, the better we can
get, the more they will like the group.  and i hope that we can
see
some long time positions filling here.

`info'
if you want to join s2p, call the pharcyde@414-820-0784 or leave
me e-mail at zachkarp@alpha2.csd.uwm.edu.  just apply as a new
user on the pharcyde, or if you go through e-mail leave your nam
e,
handle, phone number, and a zip of your latest/best work.  obvio
usly
state your business.  i read my e-mail almost every day, so that
would
be a inexpensive way to handle it.
