rEVIVAL 4 nEWSLETTER
intro ..
Hey everyone, well its another pack and we are still alive and kicking!
It is great to see the Ansi scene turnaround like it has. We are seeing
QUALITY work out of numerous groups, a great Ansi archive idle dreams,
bulletin boards are popping up left and right, and even emags fubar are
being produced!
For being in 2002 it is truly amazing to see such energy in this great
community. For Revival the trip has been amazing, we have inspired many
artists to draw once again, and to bring back healthy competition.
This month is our first month to lose members, ize has left to join Jasper,
and black knight has taken a leave of absence due to lack of time. We
wish both of you the best, and youre always welcome in Revival.
Revival 4 is another solid pack, although not quite as big as Revival 3,
youll see just as much quality and hopefully get an inspired feeling to
draw. As always please send your comments to me personally, or publicly
in revival, ansi, or ans. For joining please see the bottom of this
newsletter.
new members ..
Revival has grown to be the leading group in todays scene. This month we
have recruited many long lost artists who helped make the scene what it
once was. I would like to personally welcome each of the 6 new members
to join Revival since our last release:
snake grunger :: status - Revived:
- I am sure Snake Grunger is one of the searches you have made on
that wonderful website, Idle Dreams. Snake Grunger is one of those
legendary artists who everytime you view their ansis amaze you. We are
proud to have you onboard SG!
sodium N4 :: status - Revived:
- Many remember sodium from his many contributions to the scene, whether
it was through his hilarious stories played by scenesters in Acrylic,
or through his amazing ansi canvases in groups such as fire and acid.

the knight :: status - Revived:
- You might remember The Knight from legendary groups as fuel, if you
dont, then you are missing out. Revival welcomes The Knight back to
the scene.
pariah :: status - Revived:
- Pariah has been a force in the scene for quite some time. He has touched
many groups with his leadership and skills. You might remember him from
fire!ascii, or from The ANSI Awards. Revival welcomes pariah and hopes
to keep this fire burning!
ansi showdowns ..
Ansi showdowns is an exciting new competition created by lazthaus ld!,
and myself, with additional help from discyple. There is a very detailed
explanation of what exactly these showdowns are, and how you can partic-
ipate, in SHOWDOWN.ANS. To give a very brief overview, the Ansi showdowns
are basically a competition between artists. Two artists come together and
challenge eachother to a showdown. The showdown is voted upon by everyone
in the scene on blackthursday.net, and scores are kept. It was created
to liven up the scene and challenge artists to better their current skill.
For more information please review SHOWDOWN.ANS.
bbs update ..
As stated in the last newsletter, Revival is dedicated to all facets of
the scene this includes the BBS scene. Ansi has many deep roots in the
BBS scene and without it there may have never BEEN an Ansi scene. For these
reasons Revival endorses all members who run boards, and has put many hours
into making our WHQ the best it can possibly be.
