133mA great thing about doing an E-Mag: Unlike ANSi groups
20CE-Mags had artists from all groups on display. It was
20Ca cool way to have groups and artists rep themselves
20Cwith other groups and artists.
20C
133mAnd this is still the case today!
22C
133mMIC CHECK:
37m Alpha King:
36m When you first released with Blocktronics I thought you were
0m
133m
36m someone else from some other time using some other handle.
15C
136mI was literally thinking WHAT IS ALL OF THIS?? You draw the
15C
136mway people drew back in the day that made ME want to draw.
15C
136mYour work with Ansilove is a standout contribution to this
15C
136mmedium we all love so much. No hard feelings for the Delete
15C
136marticle? :
37m Avenging Angel:
36m When I first got hip to what Blocktronics was and was
0m
133m
0m
136mconsuming all the older stuff, you were one of the artists
19C
136mthat made me think Man, this is beyond me. I dont belong
19C
136mhere.
0m
136mYoure the only person who draws with a 16 color
19C
136mpalette that makes it look like youre just INVENTING
15C
136mcolors. There is no Well, that guy draws just like avg...
17C
136mNO. Thats just not something that is possible.
0m
136mAnd to top
19C
136mit off, youre a Captain on the 67 ship and its always
19C
136mon point.

1m Burps:
36m I was floored when you sent me a submission. And though I feel I
33m
0m
136mshould make no apologies for things I said as a teenager, youre
10C
136mthe one exception. Im sorry for the ridiculousness of all that
10C
136mcrap I rambled on about in the Fuel ansi from back in the day. So
10C
136mthank you for your contribution and for being the bigger person. :
10C
136mAnd truthfully, Ive always thought you were and are one of the best
10C
136msmall scale artists that ever put blocks down. Im still in shock
10C
136mover that video you made of HOW you draw The Angus ANSi vid.
0m
1m Cthulhu:
36m Out of everyone who submitted, your contribution came as the
33m
0m
136mbiggest surprise. It truly was estatic. I know I already rambled
12C
136mon about this to you earlier, but its all true: Id always see
12C
136myour words on other ANSis that I drooled over. And when I was
12C
136mfirst starting out Id have those Man, I wanna do this like that
12C
136mguy and I wanna do this other thing like that other guy... when
12C
136mit came to stuff I thought would be respectable art. And one of
12C
136mthose hopes was ...and itd be awesome to have words by Cthulu.
12C
136mEven though I most certainly wrote an article about not big a fan
136mof lit in an old issue of Gutter, you were the one exception. :
33m
37m Delicious:
36m Im going to say this clearly right now:
33m
0m
136m
37mOut of all the wonderful things people took the time to
17C
1mdo for this Anniversary, yours blows me away the most.
14C
136mI had absolutely no idea that was you. I actually went back
14C
136mand found the article you were talking about. Man, its uncanny.
14C
136mI was most definetly definitely an asshole. But you pressed on.
14C
136mAnd Im glad you did my man. Its hours before this comes out
14C
136mand Im still sitting here going I CANT BELIEVE THAT WAS HIM!
14C
136mIts a weird full circle. Its hard to explain doing stuff like
14C
136mthis to people who dont know what this is. aka: In real life.
14C
136mBut your article is a heartfelt story Im telling everyone.
0m
1mHaliphax:
36mWe dont seem to have crossed paths often. But I was super stoked
33m
0m
136mfor the AMiGA jam that I used as a header for an article. When
12C
136mI first opened it up in PabloDraw and saw it was AMiGA I thought
12C
136mWHAT THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THIS?? But then I realized
12C
136mthat its actually cool to have an article in the AMiGA format!
12C
136mExcellent Oldschool blend!

1mKnocturnal:
36mYoure one of the greatest font artists to ever draw words.
33m
0m
136mI have no idea how you can always keep coming up with fresh
15C
136mways using the same blocks that I use. IT DOESNT EVEN LOOK
15C
136mLIKE ANSi. It looks like some Adobe Illustrator biz.
0m
136mIm not
15C
136man ASCII dude because I cant draw ASCII, YOU MAKE ME WANT
15C
136mTO TRY. A while back I did this sort of tribute to font
15C
136martists by doing a font of their name in their style. I wanted
11C
136mto do one of your name in your style and it was impossible.
15C
136mIt was just better left unsaid.
0m
1mLuciano:
36mFIRST THINGS FIRST: I GAVE YOU PROPS BACK IN THE BLOCK TO THE
33m
0m
136mFUTURE PACK AND I SPELLED YOUR LAST NAME WRONG. IT HAUNTS ME TO
12C
136mTHIS DAY. Anyway, no, no I must start a new paragraph for this.
12C
136mTo say youre the driving force behind Blocktronics is so much
12C
136man understatement, its laughable. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You are a
12C
136mdriving force for the medium in general.
0m
136mI honestly cannot say
12C
136mI have more respect for anyone else Ive ever known in the ANSi
12C
136mscene than you. Youre a guy I talk about when I drone on about
12C
136mthis art world of ours to people who dont know what this is.
12C
136mYour inspiration extends farther than just the amazing art you
12C
136mcontinue flourish in. Youve done so much for all of us and youve
12C
136mtruly been the glue that keeps this zoo together.
0m
1mMisfit:
0m
136mThis fuckin guy. Listen, theres a story we always tell people
33m
0m
136mwhenever we get the chance if it means telling it to people who
11C
136mhave already heard it.
11C
136mSomewhere in the 90s we both went to a Bouncing Souls show and
11C
136mhad absolutely no idea each other were there. This was the 90s
11C
136mwhere phones hung on walls and cameras werent brought to punk
11C
136mshows unless they wanted to get broken.
11C
136mThis fuckin guy, he submitted two pieces of two of the coolest
11C
136mthings in my personal taste in things AND THE ONLY THINGS THAT
11C
136mMATTER - The Simpsons and 2001: A Space Odyssey.
11C
136mNow the real thing. Apathy, one of my all time favorite groups.
11C
136mAnd Ive always felt that the stuff I did with Gutter was a sort
11C
136mof cheap E-Mag version of Apathy. : And its funny, we were both
11C
136minternet-ready only once in a while so that was sort of a deterrent
11C
136mof us actually kickin in the scene back in the day. But if the
11C
136mtrade of was the fact wed hang out all these years later, its
11C
136mtotally worth it. And its awesome that good were good friends
11C
136mand really on the same level about life. If we would have met
11C
136mthrough some other outlet than this I have no doubt we still would
11C
136mhave been friends. You play such a huge role in the preservation
11C
136min the textmode world. So much that I can say for sure that youre
11C
136mbig inspiration for me to do this kind of stuff. Right on for
11C
136mthat barren relm of 717 that first made us start to talk to each
11C
136mother. For me personally, Id like this underground scene less
11C
136mif we never would have crossed paths. Thanks for always keeping
11C
136mthings solid.

1mMypal Goo:
36mWhen I first fired up PabloDraw and started to experiment
33m
0m
136mwith the features we didnt really have back in the day, I sorta
14C
136mgave up once I saw there was too much work involved. Soon after,
14C
136myou came along and were doing those things I thought about trying
14C
136mto do. If youre thinking Aw, Filth is just saying that to
14C
136mfill up some space. OH NO. Let me take you back in time to 2016.
14C
136mBlocktronics Baud Dudes pack: FIL-TEKNINA.ANS - This is one of
14C
136mmy favorite ANSis by me. Its the TekLordz tribute with all the
14C
136mgraffiti biz on the side of a building. Thats because of YOU.
14C
136mThats why at the bottom it says, Big ups to my pal, Mypal Goo,
14C
136mfor turning insanity into art. - You made that ANSi happen.
0m
1mnail:
36mAs Im writing this, and as I write other things, and draw other
33m
0m
136mthings, and write on things I draw, at some point in the back of my
136mmind I think, I wonder what nail will say about this. Or, I just
136mpicture scenarios of what you say. Kind of in a Oh, I bet nail is
136mgonna give me shit for doing this or Of course nail is going to
136mout these mistakes I didnt know I made. The funny thing is, youre
136mthe only person in the ANSi scene that can say that and I love it.
136mYoure a straightforward
0m
136mmotherfucker and I love your for it. Mainly,
136myou got the goods to back it up. Plus, you do this to everyone so
136mit makes it that much better. I truly was thrilled when you joined up
136mwith Blocktronics. You kicked it off with that group ANSi of a bunch
136mof us at Demosplash and youve been making the group a better place
136mwith one motherfucker ansi after another.
37m
36mAnd behind all of that, you
136mreally are a solid dude.
37m Necrofiliac:
36mMy hazy memory tells me that never really crossed paths. And
33m
0m
136mif we did, this is outright akward. :
0m
136mWhen I first saw that
15C
136mSeppuku ANSi I didnt know it was for gutter. I still download
15C
136mpacks and view them in PabloDraw for the oldschool touch.
15C
136mWhen I first checked out that Fuel pack and came across that
15C
136mpiece, I was already blown away by it. Its sort of easy to
15C
136mdo gross or derranged things when it comes to art. A lot of
15C
136mtime people just throw something together for shock value.
15C
136mBut THIS is beautiful. Once I saw all the blood and guts
15C
136msurrounding the letters that spell GUTTER I thought I was
15C
136mlooking at it wrong. When it finally clicked it WAS for Gutter,
15C
136mI literally sat here and went WOOOOOAH outloud. I was showing
15C
136mthat off to EVERYBODY on the outside world. I was so amazed
15C
136mthat it was for Gutter it motivated me to kick things
0m
136minto
15C
136mhigh-gear. There could be no better piece to end this with than
15C
136mSeppuku jam.
37m Propane:
36mThere needs to be more people doing what you do: drawing people.
33m
0m
136mNot comic book characters - cool people that exist or at one point,
11C
136mexisted. Theres not a single ANSi artist who can go from drawing
11C
136mGG Allin to Elivs.

136mAnd then everything in between. Ever since I
11C
136mgot back into the ANSi scene people would ask me from time to time
11C
136mabout doing Gutter again. My response was always Cant. Different
11C
136mtime, Different me. But when I realized that 2018 was going to be
11C
136mthe 20th anniversary of the mag the idea started to swim around.
11C
136mIt really started off as one of those Gee, itd be cool to do it,
11C
136mbut since Im kinda lazy sometimes Ill just THINK about how cool
11C
136mit would be to do it. I thought if maybe Id do a search for
11C
136mgutter on the ANSi archive sites it would somehow motivate me
11C
136mto actually starting to try to do it. I started seeing art here
11C
136mand there from those days and kept thinking Maybe, in the future.
11C
136mBut when Fuck Monkey popped up, that really was the spark. It really
11C
136mwas, man. Just the way you went about it made me really want to do
11C
136mTHIS. When TK asked me to guest in Fuel there was only one thing
11C
136mI was going to draw for and you know what that is. And thats why.

1mStormcloud:
36mAKA: Jay Griffin. None of you motherfuckers know this guy, but
33m
0m
136mif it werent for him, this Anniversary would have been pushed
14C
136mway back. About a month before the deadline my internet went out.
14C
136mAN ENTIRE MONTH PLUS SOME DAYS. On one hand, it was a blessing
14C
136min disguise. I mean, when you have a computer and dont have the
14C
136minternet, what the fuck do you do with it? Well, for me, its
14C
136mtwo things: write and draw. BUT, there was still internetting
14C
136mwork required. And he always welcomed me to his humble abode
14C
136mto let me waft in his wifi onto my tablet so I could get bizay.
14C
136mSo, you can thank him for this coming out at a reasonable time.
14C
136mAnd I can thank him for his hospitality, food, herbal remedies,
14C
136mand for just always being a great friend. We go way back to
14C
136mart school. Hes really the only motherfucker who sees and sort
14C
136mof understands what we do. And one of the greatest artists Ive
14C
136mever known in person. Well, he doesnt draw ANSi but I cant
14C
136mhold that against him. Anyways, thanks for always looking out
14C
136mfor me homie. STAY WOKE.
14C
130mActually, Misfit and xer0 met this dude when they came in
15C
130mfor Demosplash at the end of 2018. He helped us out with more
15C
130mherbal remedies.
0m
1mThe Creep Fever:
36m Its awesome that we both sort of started at the same
0m
136mtime.
33m
0m
136mAnd that one time or another were in a group together
19C
136magain. Then and Now! We had this weird extension of friend-
19C
136mship in those days. That friendship didnt necessarily come
19C
136mfrom us starting out or being in groups together.
0m
136mAnd it
19C
136mwasnt really that we were hip dudes or that our names usu-
18C
136m ally sat next to each other on member lists. Its that
19C
136mwe both had a back and forth outside of all of that. When
19C
136mthink about those days and just the randomness of good
19C
136mtimes youre usually the first person to come to mind.
19C
136mEveryone made some sort of invisible friendships back then
19C
136mbut it always felt like we were more like real friends.
19C
136mI think at the core of everything in those times we both
18C
136mhad an ouside artistic spark that made that friendship.
18C
136mIt was that side of us that we didnt have in common with
0m
136m
17C
136mpeople we were friends with in real life.
19C
136mAfter all those years and finally getting to hang out in
19C
136mperson was an awesome thing. On one wall I have a painting
18C
136mof yours and on the other, a drawing. Once in a while Ill
18C
136mlook at them and reflect on the luck I had to get into all
19C
136mall of this when I did. Youre truly one of the best in
19C
136mgame. Youre a born leader and this entire scene can
19C
136mabsolutely acknowledge your significant contribution to
18C
136mall of this.
0m
1mThe Knight:
0m
136mWe go waaaay back. We actually did a joint for Distortion back
33m
0m
136min day. Well, you drew the pic and I did the font. ITS THE
14C
136mTHOUGHT THAT COUNTS. Its funny, though, I had no fucking idea
14C
136mwho the fuck you were on Facebook. Im talking like, for over
14C
136ma YEAR. Then you hit me up one day on Messenger and we chatted
14C
136mfor a bit and I kept thinking Why is this guy talking to me
14C
136mlike I know him? Id seen your name on the ANSi group, but
14C
136mtheres a lot of people in that group.
0m
136mBut slowly my brain
14C
136mfigured it out. Mostly when you started talking about Fuel. :
14C
136mI was honored and thrilled when you asked me to guest in Fuel.
14C
136mI really, really was. I actually never guested in any group ever.
14C
136mSo it was a first and probably the best guesting Ill ever do!
14C
136mAnd it was great once my brain figured some things out seeing
14C
136myou back in the game. After Id been back in the game for a while
14C
136mI had this mental list of people from back in the day that I
14C
136mwished would start drawing again and you were one of the ones
14C
136mat the top.
0m
1mWhazzit:
36mI think its safe to assume I have the credibility to say that Ive
33m
0m
136mprobably seen the bulk of every ANSi ever released, ever. When I
11C
136mfirst discovered ANSi, I DEVOURED every single pack I could get my
11C
136mhands on. Im talking way back before I even knew what groups were
11C
136mwhat groups. This was before I even joined a group or released an
11C
136mANSi in any way. Once I got into the scene I pretty much consumed
11C
136mthe flow of all the art that would get released because, I too, was
11C
136mreleasing. I obviously have an eye as well as an interest for being
11C
136ma sort of aficionado for ANSi art. Example: rambling about ANSi
11C
136min 12 issues of Gutter back in the day. So why am I talking about
11C
136mmyself being super cool and knowing things about ANSi? I want to
11C
136mdrive the point home that NO ONE DOES WHAT YOU DO. You have the
11C
136mability to create these sort of special effects with ANSi. Its
11C
136mtruly insane. That horizontal Blocktronics piece you did a while
11C
136mback: I know exactly how you did that because Ive been TRYING
0m
136mto
11C
136mthat ever since I got back into drawing and havent gotten the
11C
136mhang of it. You banged it out. The hockey players, zodiac, birds,
11C
136mthat mixed media dealie with ANSi figures on exotic photos that
11C
136myou took, all of it man. Youre an anomaly.
37m Wolf Biker:
0m
136mLook, man, the deal was: You could use my washer and dryer ONCE
33m
0m
136mfor your bandanas. ITS BEEN 3 WEEKS. I let it slide when you
14C
136mbrought over a basket full of denim jackets to wash. But now
14C
136mits taking over my basement. You have about a THOUSAND T-Shirts
14C
136mthat all have the same crap on them: Wolves, Bikes, Native
14C
136mAmerican Men and Women doing weird things like riding motorcycles
14C
136mor holding guitars, weird moon visiuals with wolf outlines on
14C
136mthem. IT NEVER ENDS. Youre turning my basement into one of those
14C
136mweird stores youd see in a dark corner of malls that sold
14C
136mrandom shit like silky Bob Marley flags and those weird candle
14C
136mholders that have dragons and crystals on them. And dont try
14C
136mcmon now, brother bullshit with me. YOURE NOT RANDY THE
14C
136mMACHO MAN SAVAGE.

1mxer0:
36m I said somewhere else in this mag about how weird it was meeting people
33m
0m
136min the scene for the first time. Whats even weirder is meeting some
136mone from the scene
0m
136mwho lives in the same CITY! On top of all of that,
136mI like that we became homies for reasons outside of this. Its a very
136mbizarre chance to not only live in the same city as textmode artist,
136mbut to have this weird common past with other people and somehow never
136mcrossed paths with each other. What are the odds of another scenester
136mliving in the same city and having the SAME LEFTOVER CRACK POSTER THAT
136mYOU CAN ONLY GET IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO WORKED SOMEWHERE. Ill tell
136mya what that is: MEANT TO BE. And kickin in AMiSH with you just makes
136mall of this awesomer. I was estatic when you asked me to join up on
136mthat train demo. I probably talked more about that to people on the
136moutside with such glee than I do with my ANSis.
0m
136mSo thanks for hooking
136mthat up as well.

133mA great thing about doing an E-Mag: Unlike ANSi groups
20CE-Mags had artists from all groups on display. It was
20Ca cool way to have groups and artists rep themselves
20Cwith other groups and artists.
20C
133mAnd this is still the case today!

133mMIC CHECK:
37m Alpha King:
36m When you first released with Blocktronics I thought you were
0m
133m
36m someone else from some other time using some other handle.
15C
136mI was literally thinking WHAT IS ALL OF THIS?? You draw the
15C
136mway people drew back in the day that made ME want to draw.
15C
136mYour work with Ansilove is a standout contribution to this
15C
136mmedium we all love so much. No hard feelings for the Delete
15C
136marticle? :
37m Avenging Angel:
36m When I first got hip to what Blocktronics was and was
0m
133m
0m
136mconsuming all the older stuff, you were one of the artists
19C
136mthat made me think Man, this is beyond me. I dont belong
19C
136mhere.
0m
136mYoure the only person who draws with a 16 color
19C
136mpalette that makes it look like youre just INVENTING

136mcolors. There is no Well, that guy draws just like avg...
17C
136mNO. Thats just not something that is possible.

136mAnd truthfully, Ive always thought you were and are one of the best
10C
136msmall scale artists that ever put blocks down. Im still in shock
10C
136mover that video you made of HOW you draw The Angus ANSi vid.
0m
1m Cthulhu:
36m Out of everyone who submitted, your contribution came as the
33m
0m
136mbiggest surprise. It truly was estatic. I know I already rambled
12C
136mon about this to you earlier, but its all true: Id always see
12C
136myour words on other ANSis that I drooled over. And when I was
12C
136mfirst starting out Id have those Man, I wanna do this like that
12C
136mguy and I wanna do this other thing like that other guy... when
12C
136mit came to stuff I thought would be respectable art. And one of
12C
136mthose hopes was ...and itd be awesome to have words by Cthulu.
12C
136mEven though I most certainly wrote an article about not big a fan
136mof lit in an old issue of Gutter, you were the one exception. :
33m
37m Delicious:
36m Im going to say this clearly right now:
33m
0m
136m
37mOut of all the wonderful things people took the time to
17C
1mdo for this Anniversary, yours blows me away the most.
14C
136mI had absolutely no idea that was you. I actually went back
14C
136mand found the article you were talking about. Man, its uncanny.
14C
136mI was most definetly definitely an asshole. But you pressed on.
14C
136mAnd Im glad you did my man. Its hours before this comes out
14C
136mand Im still sitting here going I CANT BELIEVE THAT WAS HIM!
14C
136mIts a weird full circle. Its hard to explain doing stuff like
14C
136mthis to people who dont know what this is. aka: In real life.
14C
136mBut your article is a heartfelt story Im telling everyone.
0m
1mHaliphax:
36mWe dont seem to have crossed paths often. But I was super stoked
33m
0m
136mfor the AMiGA jam that I used as a header for an article. When
12C
136mI first opened it up in PabloDraw and saw it was AMiGA I thought
12C
136mWHAT THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THIS?? But then I realized
12C
136mthat its actually cool to have an article in the AMiGA format!
12C
136mExcellent Oldschool blend!

1mKnocturnal:
36mYoure one of the greatest font artists to ever draw words.
33m
0m
136mI have no idea how you can always keep coming up with fresh
15C
136mways using the same blocks that I use. IT DOESNT EVEN LOOK
15C
136mLIKE ANSi. It looks like some Adobe Illustrator biz.
0m
136mIm not
15C
136man ASCII dude because I cant draw ASCII, YOU MAKE ME WANT
15C
136mTO TRY. A while back I did this sort of tribute to font
15C
136martists by doing a font of their name in their style. I wanted
11C
136mto do one of your name in your style and it was impossible.
15C
136mIt was just better left unsaid.
0m
1mLuciano:
36mFIRST THINGS FIRST: I GAVE YOU PROPS BACK IN THE BLOCK TO THE
33m
0m
136mFUTURE PACK AND I SPELLED YOUR LAST NAME WRONG. IT HAUNTS ME TO
12C
136mTHIS DAY. Anyway, no, no I must start a new paragraph for this.
12C
136mTo say youre the driving force behind Blocktronics is so much
12C
136man understatement, its laughable. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You are a
12C
136mdriving force for the medium in general.
0m
136mI honestly cannot say
12C
136mI have more respect for anyone else Ive ever known in the ANSi
12C
136mscene than you. Youre a guy I talk about when I drone on about
12C
136mthis art world of ours to people who dont know what this is.
12C
136mYour inspiration extends farther than just the amazing art you
12C
136mcontinue flourish in. Youve done so much for all of us and youve
12C
136mtruly been the glue that keeps this zoo together.
0m
1mMisfit:
0m
136mThis fuckin guy. Listen, theres a story we always tell people
33m
0m
136mwhenever we get the chance if it means telling it to people who
11C
136mhave already heard it.
11C
136mSomewhere in the 90s we both went to a Bouncing Souls show and
11C
136mhad absolutely no idea each other were there. This was the 90s
11C
136mwhere phones hung on walls and cameras werent brought to punk
11C
136mshows unless they wanted to get broken.
11C
136mThis fuckin guy, he submitted two pieces of two of the coolest
11C
136mthings in my personal taste in things AND THE ONLY THINGS THAT
11C
136mMATTER - The Simpsons and 2001: A Space Odyssey.
11C
136mNow the real thing. Apathy, one of my all time favorite groups.
11C
136mAnd Ive always felt that the stuff I did with Gutter was a sort
11C
136mof cheap E-Mag version of Apathy. : And its funny, we were both
11C
136minternet-ready only once in a while so that was sort of a deterrent
11C
136mof us actually kickin in the scene back in the day. But if the
11C
136mtrade of was the fact wed hang out all these years later, its
11C
136mtotally worth it. And its awesome that good were good friends
11C
136mand really on the same level about life. If we would have met
11C
136mthrough some other outlet than this I have no doubt we still would
11C
136mhave been friends. You play such a huge role in the preservation
11C
136min the textmode world. So much that I can say for sure that youre
11C
136mbig inspiration for me to do this kind of stuff. Right on for
11C
136mthat barren relm of 717 that first made us start to talk to each
11C
136mother. For me personally, Id like this underground scene less
11C
136mif we never would have crossed paths. Thanks for always keeping
11C
136mthings solid.

1mMypal Goo:
36mWhen I first fired up PabloDraw and started to experiment
33m
0m
136mwith the features we didnt really have back in the day, I sorta
14C
136mgave up once I saw there was too much work involved. Soon after,
14C
136myou came along and were doing those things I thought about trying
14C
136mto do. If youre thinking Aw, Filth is just saying that to
14C
136mfill up some space. OH NO. Let me take you back in time to 2016.
14C
136mBlocktronics Baud Dudes pack: FIL-TEKNINA.ANS - This is one of
14C
136mmy favorite ANSis by me. Its the TekLordz tribute with all the
14C
136mgraffiti biz on the side of a building. Thats because of YOU.
14C
136mThats why at the bottom it says, Big ups to my pal, Mypal Goo,
14C
136mfor turning insanity into art. - You made that ANSi happen.
0m
1mnail:
36mAs Im writing this, and as I write other things, and draw other
33m
0m
136mthings, and write on things I draw, at some point in the back of my
136mmind I think, I wonder what nail will say about this. Or, I just
136mpicture scenarios of what you say. Kind of in a Oh, I bet nail is
136mgonna give me shit for doing this or Of course nail is going to
136mout these mistakes I didnt know I made. The funny thing is, youre
136mthe only person in the ANSi scene that can say that and I love it.
136mYoure a straightforward
0m
136mmotherfucker and I love your for it. Mainly,
136myou got the goods to back it up. Plus, you do this to everyone so
136mit makes it that much better. I truly was thrilled when you joined up
136mwith Blocktronics. You kicked it off with that group ANSi of a bunch
136mof us at Demosplash and youve been making the group a better place
136mwith one motherfucker ansi after another.
37m
36mAnd behind all of that, you
136mreally are a solid dude.
37m Necrofiliac:
36mMy hazy memory tells me that never really crossed paths. And
33m
0m
136mif we did, this is outright akward. :
0m
136mWhen I first saw that
15C
136mSeppuku ANSi I didnt know it was for gutter. I still download
15C
136mpacks and view them in PabloDraw for the oldschool touch.
15C
136mWhen I first checked out that Fuel pack and came across that
15C
136mpiece, I was already blown away by it. Its sort of easy to
15C
136mdo gross or derranged things when it comes to art. A lot of
15C
136mtime people just throw something together for shock value.
15C
136mBut THIS is beautiful. Once I saw all the blood and guts
15C
136msurrounding the letters that spell GUTTER I thought I was
15C
136mlooking at it wrong. When it finally clicked it WAS for Gutter,
15C
136mI literally sat here and went WOOOOOAH outloud. I was showing
15C
136mthat off to EVERYBODY on the outside world. I was so amazed
15C
136mthat it was for Gutter it motivated me to kick things
0m
136minto
15C
136mhigh-gear. There could be no better piece to end this with than
15C
136mSeppuku jam.
37m Propane:
36mThere needs to be more people doing what you do: drawing people.
33m
0m
136mNot comic book characters - cool people that exist or at one point,
11C
136mexisted. Theres not a single ANSi artist who can go from drawing
11C
136mGG Allin to Elivs.
0m
136mAnd then everything in between. Ever since I
11C
136mgot back into the ANSi scene people would ask me from time to time
11C
136mabout doing Gutter again. My response was always Cant. Different
11C
136mtime, Different me. But when I realized that 2018 was going to be
11C
136mthe 20th anniversary of the mag the idea started to swim around.
11C
136mIt really started off as one of those Gee, itd be cool to do it,
11C
136mbut since Im kinda lazy sometimes Ill just THINK about how cool
11C
136mit would be to do it. I thought if maybe Id do a search for
11C
136mgutter on the ANSi archive sites it would somehow motivate me
11C
136mto actually starting to try to do it. I started seeing art here
11C
136mand there from those days and kept thinking Maybe, in the future.
11C
136mBut when Fuck Monkey popped up, that really was the spark. It really
11C
136mwas, man. Just the way you went about it made me really want to do
11C
136mTHIS. When TK asked me to guest in Fuel there was only one thing
11C
136mI was going to draw for and you know what that is. And thats why.
0m
1mStormcloud:
36mAKA: Jay Griffin. None of you motherfuckers know this guy, but
33m
0m
136mif it werent for him, this Anniversary would have been pushed
14C
136mway back. About a month before the deadline my internet went out.
14C
136mAN ENTIRE MONTH PLUS SOME DAYS. On one hand, it was a blessing
14C
136min disguise. I mean, when you have a computer and dont have the
14C
136minternet, what the fuck do you do with it? Well, for me, its
14C
136mtwo things: write and draw. BUT, there was still internetting
14C
136mwork required. And he always welcomed me to his humble abode
14C
136mto let me waft in his wifi onto my tablet so I could get bizay.
14C
136mSo, you can thank him for this coming out at a reasonable time.
14C
136mAnd I can thank him for his hospitality, food, herbal remedies,
14C
136mand for just always being a great friend. We go way back to
14C
136mart school. Hes really the only motherfucker who sees and sort
14C
136mof understands what we do. And one of the greatest artists Ive
14C
136mever known in person. Well, he doesnt draw ANSi but I cant
14C
136mhold that against him. Anyways, thanks for always looking out
14C
136mfor me homie. STAY WOKE.
14C
130mActually, Misfit and xer0 met this dude when they came in
15C
130mfor Demosplash at the end of 2018. He helped us out with more
15C
130mherbal remedies.
0m
1mThe Creep Fever:
36m Its awesome that we both sort of started at the same
0m
136mtime.
33m
0m
136mAnd that one time or another were in a group together
19C
136magain. Then and Now! We had this weird extension of friend-
19C
136mship in those days. That friendship didnt necessarily come
19C
136mfrom us starting out or being in groups together.
0m
136mAnd it
19C
136mwasnt really that we were hip dudes or that our names usu-
18C
136m ally sat next to each other on member lists. Its that
19C
136mwe both had a back and forth outside of all of that. When
19C
136mthink about those days and just the randomness of good
19C
136mtimes youre usually the first person to come to mind.
19C
136mEveryone made some sort of invisible friendships back then
19C
136mbut it always felt like we were more like real friends.
19C
136mI think at the core of everything in those times we both
18C
136mhad an ouside artistic spark that made that friendship.
18C
136mIt was that side of us that we didnt have in common with
0m
136m
17C
136mpeople we were friends with in real life.
19C
136mAfter all those years and finally getting to hang out in
19C
136mperson was an awesome thing. On one wall I have a painting
18C
136mof yours and on the other, a drawing. Once in a while Ill
18C
136mlook at them and reflect on the luck I had to get into all
19C
136mall of this when I did. Youre truly one of the best in
19C
136mgame. Youre a born leader and this entire scene can
19C
136mabsolutely acknowledge your significant contribution to
18C
136mall of this.
0m
1mThe Knight:
0m
136mWe go waaaay back. We actually did a joint for Distortion back
33m
0m
136min day. Well, you drew the pic and I did the font. ITS THE
14C
136mTHOUGHT THAT COUNTS. Its funny, though, I had no fucking idea
14C
136mwho the fuck you were on Facebook. Im talking like, for over
14C
136ma YEAR. Then you hit me up one day on Messenger and we chatted
14C
136mfor a bit and I kept thinking Why is this guy talking to me
14C
136mlike I know him? Id seen your name on the ANSi group, but
14C
136mtheres a lot of people in that group.
0m
136mBut slowly my brain
14C
136mfigured it out. Mostly when you started talking about Fuel. :
14C
136mI was honored and thrilled when you asked me to guest in Fuel.
14C
136mI really, really was. I actually never guested in any group ever.
14C
136mSo it was a first and probably the best guesting Ill ever do!
14C
136mAnd it was great once my brain figured some things out seeing
14C
136myou back in the game. After Id been back in the game for a while
14C
136mI had this mental list of people from back in the day that I
14C
136mwished would start drawing again and you were one of the ones
14C
136mat the top.
0m
1mWhazzit:
36mI think its safe to assume I have the credibility to say that Ive
33m
0m
136mprobably seen the bulk of every ANSi ever released, ever. When I
11C
136mfirst discovered ANSi, I DEVOURED every single pack I could get my
11C
136mhands on. Im talking way back before I even knew what groups were
11C
136mwhat groups. This was before I even joined a group or released an
11C
136mANSi in any way. Once I got into the scene I pretty much consumed
11C
136mthe flow of all the art that would get released because, I too, was
11C
136mreleasing. I obviously have an eye as well as an interest for being
11C
136ma sort of aficionado for ANSi art. Example: rambling about ANSi
11C
136min 12 issues of Gutter back in the day. So why am I talking about
11C
136mmyself being super cool and knowing things about ANSi? I want to
11C
136mdrive the point home that NO ONE DOES WHAT YOU DO. You have the
11C
136mability to create these sort of special effects with ANSi. Its
11C
136mtruly insane. That horizontal Blocktronics piece you did a while
11C
136mback: I know exactly how you did that because Ive been TRYING
0m
136mto
11C
136mthat ever since I got back into drawing and havent gotten the
11C
136mhang of it. You banged it out. The hockey players, zodiac, birds,
11C
136mthat mixed media dealie with ANSi figures on exotic photos that
11C
136myou took, all of it man. Youre an anomaly.
37m Wolf Biker:
0m
136mLook, man, the deal was: You could use my washer and dryer ONCE
33m
0m
136mfor your bandanas. ITS BEEN 3 WEEKS. I let it slide when you
14C
136mbrought over a basket full of denim jackets to wash. But now
14C
136mits taking over my basement. You have about a THOUSAND T-Shirts
14C
136mthat all have the same crap on them: Wolves, Bikes, Native
14C
136mAmerican Men and Women doing weird things like riding motorcycles
14C
136mor holding guitars, weird moon visiuals with wolf outlines on
14C
136mthem. IT NEVER ENDS. Youre turning my basement into one of those
14C
136mweird stores youd see in a dark corner of malls that sold
14C
136mrandom shit like silky Bob Marley flags and those weird candle
14C
136mholders that have dragons and crystals on them. And dont try
14C
136mcmon now, brother bullshit with me. YOURE NOT RANDY THE
14C
136mMACHO MAN SAVAGE.
0m
1mxer0:
36m I said somewhere else in this mag about how weird it was meeting people
33m
0m
136min the scene for the first time. Whats even weirder is meeting some
136mone from the scene
0m
136mwho lives in the same CITY! On top of all of that,
136mI like that we became homies for reasons outside of this. Its a very
136mbizarre chance to not only live in the same city as textmode artist,
136mbut to have this weird common past with other people and somehow never
136mcrossed paths with each other. What are the odds of another scenester
136mliving in the same city and having the SAME LEFTOVER CRACK POSTER THAT
136mYOU CAN ONLY GET IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO WORKED SOMEWHERE. Ill tell
136mya what that is: MEANT TO BE. And kickin in AMiSH with you just makes
136mall of this awesomer. I was estatic when you asked me to join up on
136mthat train demo. I probably talked more about that to people on the
136moutside with such glee than I do with my ANSis.
0m
136mSo thanks for hooking
136mthat up as well.
