So here it is. I've been working night and day to m
ake this pack.
Rags to Riches consists in putting together some of tod
ay's scene veterans'
early artwork along with their best piece ever made.

The first issue of Rags2$$$ was put toge
ther by Ck. Not Calvin Klein,
you newbie! ;P  Cee kay is Chromatik and
he released that first pack back in
may 1995. In over two years, many artists have become v
eterans and that's why
I, Soul Assassin, decided to make another pack. I think
it should be done every two years. Hopeful
ly next time someone else will take the relay.

Unlike the first issue, this pack is not limited to
ANSI pics only.
I wanted to show every medium present in the art scene
today: VGA, RIP and
ANSI. All of the most popular artforms. V
GAs and RIPs are in the pack RAGS2$2b
and ANSIs are in RAGS2$2a. Unfortunatly ther
e are no ASCIIs in the pack
because I couldn't get in touch with the veterans... nu
ff said.

Here are the artists who contributed:

Thank you all for your contributions.

I couldn't get Chromatik's permission to do this pa
ck cuz he left the
scene a while ago. You can call me a lamer but I won't
give a **** (duh like
I never said the word FUCK before)... I'm pretty sure C
hromatik would be
pleased to see that someone else continued his work.

One more thing: this pack is also a way for me to i
nform you that I
officialy quit drawing ANSIs and RIPs. But don't worry,
I'm still in the VGA
business and you can find my latest artwork in the
tWiliGht packs. Anyways I'm
not here to plug groups and shit, but don't forget to g
et my vga e-comic
GRiMSCuM!

That's all folks.

don't
have the same handle as when they drew their first
