1.  Happy first 2002 pack!   Here's some great art from  January to please your

nostrils and wiggle your toenails.   It turns out that in our contract with

Steven Stahlberg, we agreed to let him sponsor a pack at some point, and he

had his agent call us to let us know  that he wanted to have this pack.  So

welcome  to the  Official  Steven  Stahlberg Pack!   We  have  a  fantastic

interview with  Steven, and he  contributed a  handfull of gorgeous images.

2.  Also this month, ANSI!  Thanks to Mongi  and Trip we have two ansis full of

tasty ansi goodness!  It's so much fun to see ansi again!

3.  Only one quilt this  month from those  crazy kooks  over at  tiles.ice.org.

We serve up the "Mean Green Tiling Machine" this month.   Next month I hope

we'll have our Tribute to H. R. Giger quilt finished...

4.  We have a great  tutorial from  Gecko this month!   She did a cool combo of

two shorter tutorials.  One is a tutorial on how to draw the night sky, and

the  other is a  tutorial that  explains how to  draw eyes.   The latter is

probably more useful to advanced artists, the former is probably acceptable

for all ages!

5.  Old  ansi folks,  check out  www.bbsdocumentary.com.   Slothy filled  three

hours  of  video  this  month  being  interviewed,  and  Jason  Scott  (the

filmmaker) is looking to  interview other  prominent art  scene folks for a

special segment entirely about the art scene.  Hopefully we'll (eventually)

get a great look at the rich history of the art scene from this interesting

project.

6.  Remember  that some of  us hang out  on irc,  just waiting for  you to come

visit  so   you  can  be   overwhelmed  by   our  disgusting   and  bizarre

conversations.  Hit  irc.ice.org #ice and #tiles,  irc.deviantart.com #ice,

or EFnet #ice to chat with us.

Hoping all your resolutions have failed,

Slothy and Root88
