It was a Smooth foul-up and  I admit to it. I took too many things on at once: school, business, work, fami ly! Enough to drive anyone kukoo. The February pack will consist of a compil ation of sub- mitted artwork for the January pack as well as February. My ap ologies once again to everyone bout the delay. Another delay has been the TL Tees. During December-February I  have created and registered copyrights to my own design firm. Through numer ous nights of constant design work I've done for Design Asylum and Ortego Stu dio & Gallery, I was influenced to start up my own business and work on my own . One of the main objectives of my business was to provide online publishing  (web pages) and have been workin' hard to gain a 56k relay to a webserver t hat my business- associates and I have been building the last few months. This webserver will allow better support and communications for everyone in TL or a ssociated with us. It will also allow us no limitations for web space. ;> I have been and always will be here to promote TL productions, but can no longer accomodate time to compile the packs and prospect new ar tists for the group. I have given full authorization for Ts and O-Tron to us e their good judgement in deciding who shall be allowed into TekLordZ Produc tions and who to keep on hold. Artwork shall also be reviewed by both of them  before they are compiled into the pack. A composite print of the t-shirts w ill be available as a vga image by the release of the March Pack. smooth@tl.com (hehe) Whoa, full authorization. I like the sound of that. Anyw ay, some new stuff we may have overlooked over the past two months... First, this month's artiphaks is a compilation of work over the  past two months.It's not a great deal, I admit it. I'v e been basically grounded off the puter unless it's necessary for my homework, and the only chance I re ally get to fuck around for more than an hour is during work... but alas, I  seem to get lotsof dum dums that keep asking me the sam e damn question over and over again, so I'm often on, but not really ON. As for the bits and pieces of  work, I think it's been a busy month for all. O-tron, I know has not had muc h time to draw because of work and all that, and neither have I. But I think we've compensatedwith the addition of a few members with in the past two months that I'd like to mention: Hex, Extreme's brother I might have mentioned before. What I d idn't mention, or really know for that matter, is that he's got lots of potent ial as a pic artist, as well as a font artist. check out his pictures and f onts in this release, not really polished but it shows mucho potential, I th ink. PhazeOne, brings his graffiti talents to Teklordz as a RIP arti st. This month he has shown that he can draw other things other than just bubb ly, arrow- infected fonts and mini-g's... Some artists just can't seem to break out of that, but PhazeOne doesn't seem to have that problem. Spear, who has submitted some very nice ascii fonts. It's rare  these days to find good, unaffiliated ascii artists. Bah. ;> I'm hoping he  decides to stick around, we have some good months ahead, if all goes well. .. apologies to spear for the delay in releasing the jan pack... =) Synthetic Destroyer, an ascii artist recruited by Smooth that h as a very nice, clean ascii style. Now, if we only knew how to get in contact with him! Hey, if you read this, email me your email address either on Ink! 80 8-674-1673,,,#11 or you may mail me direct at myee@hawai i.edu ... Thermal Crew (THC), a coding group, has merged into Teklordz. Amnesia, the senior coder for THC is now the Teklordz coding coordinator. O ver the past month Amnesia has been very helpful in coordinating coding proj ects for TL. Their first official release with Teklordz is in this month's r elease-- TekPlay,a command line S3M/MOD/MTM player. Wit h the Thermal Crew merge into Teklordz, we have gained the following people: Amnesia, of course. Hydrocephalus, author of TekPlay. Lion, a n ansi artist whose works show much promise. He also codes too, talk about a  double bonus. ;>Bleys, an ascii artist, whose works i'v e yet to see... Hey Amnesia, mail me some of his work, I'd like to see it.. => Couriers Bomber and DimeBag (not the Emigre one), and musicians Mordacai X and Lord Pegasus of Kosmi c. Ah I almost forgot about Digital Apocalypse, a coder. Sites, sites, and more sites? I'll make this pretty short. We've decided to trash all our si tes. EMF had the right idea when they decided on this too-- the internet is a pretty efficient vehicle for distributing our releases, and the packs seem to get around. So what will the couriers be for then? Well, what we have in mind is for the couriers to help us get artwork, submissions, or pro ject betas to other members, especially members that don't really have access  to the internet or long distance calling... We're currently working on trying to raise some moola to set up  an ftp site to release Teklordz Monthly Artiphaks on, and to provide member s with a place to upload their submissions without any problems. Conclusion I talk too damn much. Well I hope you enjoy this release. Que stions, comments or suggestions, send it to me (myee@hawaii.edu) or O-Tron (xris t@primenet.com) or Amnesia (amnesia@ix.netcom.com)... See ya. =) -ts SAUCE000296 News TL Senior Staff Teklordz 19960215K"Po
