but i think i should tell you      ۰    more about why i decided to start       awe  back. when i decided to kill the         group, in may, i was really pissed about      everything that w as happening. i loved that   ۲   group more than anything, because it was MY creation.    i sure got help from other peopl e, which released ߰   awesome art in all those pac ks we released, but it        was still something i h ad thought of by myself,         and also ran by myself for almost two  years.         but i just coul dn't run it anymore, as i    ۲     said befor e. then, after a week or two,       things sta rted getting better: i actually        thought i ha d made the good decision. but     ܲ  at the beginning of july,  people on fluph made     ܰ  me realized how bad was the log o scene (if there         is such a scene). th ey were actually right. logos             just  don't look as important as pics in a  ܰ       ۰  pack. t hey somehow need to be grouped toge-         ther  to really make them look good. to make     ܲ    them  look as important as pics are (or at    ߰ ۰ leas t, as important as they seem to be).    ߰   but this wasn't the only re ason, cauz i        could 've just told a few guys to start          a nother font group and it would've probably     ܰ worked ( at least i think). the other reason        was because i miss ed the old days. people in  ۰ ۲     the group were n't only artists, they were  ޲ ۰  ۰  also really good friends. i  thought those۲     ܰ   two reasons were good enough to start it  back۰     and take a part o f my time, every month, to      get things done so everyb ody can enjoy what we       have been working on during a  whole month. but        don't get  me wrong, even if there would've     been another font group, i would've started it    ߰  again only for the second re ason. friendship      ۰  is the thing i've liked the most about the     ߰     scene so far. it hasn't been fame, nor what ܲ      ansi artisticly b rought me. it was what i had  ߰۰      originaly been looking for in this whole scene ۲     thing. when i  used to look at imperial packs, i      w as so amazed not only by their art, but also cauz    ۲   they were all greeting each others in their          ansis and in the newsletter, like they really          knew each others. they really seeme d to have         fun. but still,  it's fun to seem how much       ansi brought me.  first, i had no computer      knowledge when  i started drawing. ansi kept     me on th e computer, so i actually learnt ۲۲    things that  way. i also made alot of good       friends whi ch i'd definatly want to meet if       i someday have a chance t o. i also got ALOT     bet ter in english. but one of the most important   ۰   things besides friendsh ip is that i finally foundܰ ۲     what to go to in college. i had no idea what        to do. i wasn't doing any hand drawing  before ܰ   ߲  drawing ansi. then, i app lied in art, in      college, even tho i wasn't drawing at all.    ߰  i was only drawing ansi. and i actually rea-        lized i was pretty good in drawing (actually,    ۰  i'm alot better in painting than drawing :)).     ۲   the squary look of ansis also got me into     graffiti , which brought me other things. so      anyways, i'm starting to write stuff that        really don't relate to the group, so i'll    ߰    just stick to the art scene. ۲              i don't think i really need to st art talking         about every artists who joined t his month,      and even if i wanted to, i couldn't, cauz i'm         running out of time. we were s upposed to  ߲       releas e on the first, but i was really, really       bu sy with school and haven't been able to write       this thi ng up. thank dissonance who called me        voi ce tonight and actually woke me up, even         tho it was only what , 9pm? (i wasܰ         kinda tired  tonight :)). without ۲           him, we wouldn't be releasing       tonight.         ۰    while i'm talking about dissonance, i'd like     ۲  to tell  you all that by next month, he will        officially be running awe. as i said before,  ܲ    ߰ i really don't have as much time as i had befor e   and ab solutly need someone to run the group.     since he's been helping me alot this month, and          actually made a good job, i 'm giving him my       president positi on (call it however you   ܲ        want), but definatly ain't quiting the scene.      i'm staying with my boys. :)  this will leave          me more free time to draw. i'll still be runni ng    ۰   it in a way, because i' ll be around as much as        possible, b ut he'll be writing the info files      and packing all the stuff e very month. this     ܰ def inatly is a good thing. for some odd reason,              i really trust him like i've never trust ed ۲        anyone in the scene so far, because i don't ۰      think i would've ever let someone else run   ۲      the group before. so anyway s, i'm sure he's       gonna ma ke one hell of a good job. i wish            him luck for this ain't no easy task.  ߰         ۲ i know this was pretty damn l ong, but i thank           you all for reading all the info file          for this is my l ast one. peace.                                   ۰   ܲ       text_ tna            design_ avenger                                ߰   SAUCE00Newsletter #16 Multiple Artists AWE Lettering19980902P
