I have a tendency to rant, and Ill try not to do that now.
My name is retribution. I do not have a first name. I do not have a last name.
Believe it or not I was twelve years old when I saw my first ANSI, and it
took me approximately two years to discover that an entire scene existed
around the medium.
It was a young boy named Jay that made the discovery, but through him, I
was born. I could rant and rave on irc, flame, be flamed, and interact with
people from all over the world. I could draw dicks, pussies, and anything else
I could imagine. I grew up with other artists. Hell, we all grew up with
each other, and it is why I exist, predominantly, through only an alias.
There was a problem with all of this, however. I was not a good artist.
In fact, Id say I was just plain old bad at it.
1996

Insomniac took some time off. I decided that the crap I was putting out
just wasnt worth it, so I took roughly a year off of releasing. I drew
everything I could think of, and released exactly none of it. When I decided
to go active again, I was fortunate enough to weasel my way into saga9705
Insomniac became Stoner.
1997

I kept pushing forward. I had made significant progress in around a year,
and I wanted to see how much more progress could be made. I had created an
improvement benchmark for myself, and Ive spent the last sixteen years
attempting to beat it. Some years I have been successful, others I have not.
With the new goal in mind and, since I thrive on competition, it was time
to get serious.
After saga9705, Stoner was no more, and retribution is what arose
from his ashes.
