02 25 95 Azrael ^Spastic Az! SPASTiC 95 damn here it is incredible eh well yea spastic studios were founded about 2 weeks ago and here we are with 23 artists and almost a meg of pure ansi and that s only the beginning as you probably noticed we re early well we don t like to be trendy you know and the trend is to release late g i m presently waiting for the last ansis i ll have to include in the pack as well as azrael s infofile header (that you can see right now unlike me g ) and tadah we have a pack first a bit of history the wizard called me up the other day and asked me to be the president of a new group we decided on the name spastic and then started to talk to some people about joining the philosophy is simple 1) motivation spastic members must be interested in doing ansi they must love to do their art they have to submit work AT LEAST every two month to be worthy of the spastic membership 2) ambition spastic members must want to get better always better never consider themselves as perfect they are encouraged to ask for advice to other artists 3) creativity spastic members are encouraged to try new things new skills new medias we won t stop them from trying or learning 4) quality spastic members do their own quality control they must be proud of all the artwork they submit for the pack please notice that spastic doesn t accept any dual-groupers excepted if the other group serves as a showcase for a different media (vga lit ascii etc ) please also notice that we are an ansi group our members can still release other stuff in the pack but they ll be accepted in spastic studios only for their ansi skills we just want to make the scene look better we believe that this is the way to do it everyone in the group is cool everyone in the group love ansi oh well now i ll just present you the spastic studs ACID PHIX after being in shiver that dude is joining the fun here in spastic studios we think he can do super cool stuff ACTRAISER one of the most awesome upcoming artists at the moment is joining the studios too i was stunned at his work for this month s pack i guess you ll be as stunned AZRAEL you probably already know that cool (and awesome) artist by now he s been in groups such as acid nation and relic and now that he s back in the scene he just joined spastic to enlighten us with some masterpieces in ansi and rip (YES we do take rip when the guy also does ansi) BLACK LIGHTNING by now everyone knows bl another all-around cool guy his pics are impressive and he s getting real good he s coming from union fame CORRUPTION that guy left cia to bum with us as a logo artist he is improving and i m sure he can get very good soon interesting fact he did about 40 logos for this pack other interesting fact his voice is higher than ip s g CYBERNARY the co-founder of union decided to join spastic as yet another font master =) he will probably find the time to whip up a few pics for us too as he is a very talented artist DAIRY PRODUCT formerly of cia bleach fame dairy product is one of the most promising ansi artists around i personally really dig his style and am really happy to work with that all-around cool guy EERIE hey that guy sucks! he blows! he is a bastard! when he s on the confs he just stays there without saying anything (but when he says something that counts! g ) i wonder what he s doing in the group oh by the way he is the president =) ETERNAL CHAOS what can i say another cool artist coming over from some group i forgot oh yeah that was paramount HYPED he did ascii for remorse and vga for jihad now he tried his hand at ansi and it looks like he s got some talent so he s with us! IMPACT he s coming over from union and he does pretty neat-o ansi i guess you ve never seen his work hey thats just cuz he s suck a lazy ass =) since his initials IM were conflicting with the image s we asked him to use IP but for some psyched-out reason he never wanted g INNER VISION one of the most talented guys in shiver inner vision joined spastic no need to say anything else about him just look at his pics and be astonished JAYDEE coming along from relic jaydee is probably one of the most inventive logo artists around even if he s a lazy ass we believe he can do great for the group KERPLUNK that guy used to be in alive relic shiver and cia now he s kickin with us with his bitchin logos and asciis he s got an amazing gooping method that inspired me alot so it s an honour to have him in the group MAD BOMBER a jewel! mad bomber is an excellent cartoony ansi artist his pics are astonishing and he even threw up a complete ansi comic strip for this pack he left his previous group ddt to come with us MYRDDIN yet another freelance ansi artist joining with us myrddin (who used to be known as perseus) shows some real talent and we are hoping alot from him PALE the creator of the logo combo concept pale is probably one of the best font artists around his work is ascii-styled i totally dig it PROWLER azrael recruited that previously groupless artist he is very promising and we are proud to have him with us RIMGALE another ex-shiver dude rimgale lives in sweden hey that means we re an international group now! =) it s just another very very promising artist SPOONMAN that dude just came back from a 8-month hiatus from the scene and now he s with us he used to be in cia and we believe that he s got potential THE IMAGE not to be confused with image from cia the image was a freelance artist and now hey he s with us YOUNG after being in groups such as imperial nation relic and shiver young finally ends up in spastic with his superb anime ansis he even restarted producing alot of ansi work so we can expect some really cool stuff from him ZOLTAR coming from mistigris zoltar is in my opinion in the top 5 of the most amazing font artists currently in the scene his logos are very inventive and the guy himself is cool beyond belief enuff said we also picked up 3 excellent couriers ICZER-1 NAPALM DEATH and THE UNDECIDED we also got an efficient telecom member NARCOLEPT so to all the spastic members a warm welcome to the group i wish alot of good things happen with it and not too many bad things =) ok i have to add something now some people seem to be really fucked up or pissed off about things that first seemed clear but i guess they weren t just like integrity spastic sucks they just stole our philosophy eerie is an asshole (etc) how damn funny the int guys always hated me actually they just found a new reason to rag on me like i cared back in november 94 spastic was ALREADY on the drawing table then at the beginning of 95 came integrity when i saw their info file and philosphy and stuff i just told myself oh fuck if spastic ever comes out they re gonna say i ripped their idea then i told myself god damn it that was not THEIR idea quizz what was the first all-ansi group everyone answers INTEGRITY BUZZ WRONG ANSWER the correct answer would probably be AAA Aces of Ansi Art yea AAA ACiD (remember the acronym definition Ansi Creators In Demand ) iCE even TRiBE were all ansi groups is that concept new wow i doubt it then either SPASTIC and INT ripped off an idea that came out in FUCKING NINETEEN NINETY ONE quizz what was the first group in which the members actually had fun while still producing stuff every month integrity wrong answer again the AAA ACiD guys WERE doing stuff every month they also were having fun i m sure of that you know that the scene sucks yea you know it but it just didn t suck back in 91-92-93 why then would ANYONE complain if we start a group using OLD principles that always worked and that aren t used anymore for some psyched-out reason i think the major difference between spastic and integrity is the attitude spastic is progressing int is just stuck where they ve always been it s just like they can t get better they ARE good but in 2 or 3 packs when they re gonna be really established will their philosophy still stand will they still want to prove that they can still amaze everyone i may be wrong but i doubt it (actually i d be happy if let s say darkforce decided to improve like a motherfuck just cuz i said he would never get better ) the other major difference between our two groups is that int is a LOCAL group (i think there s one member who doesnt live in the 604) almost all the people in it know each other personally spastic is totally international opened to everyone let s conclude this quick by saying that since the announcement of spastic s foundation it seemed like alot of people were having all sorts of misconceptions about the group so they just started ragging but it also seemed like most of the rag was just jealousy i know we can t stop people from ragging on a pack-less group i won t even ask you to stop that would be a lack of time the pack is out now so you can now talk and know what you are talking about the spastic guys have been super busy working on some cool stuff for the pack i know that they all work their best to set the group standards as high as they can oh i had something else to talk about some people were accusing us to steal members from cia let s just say that we stole no one everyone was free we haven t offered hqs or any candies to anyone we just asked a very few people if they would join they said yes the rest of the members applied just like anyone should do i mean if the majority came from cia its not OUR problem maybe it s cia s i was myself really surprised at the amount of cia guys applying and at some time felt very unconfortable with that situation neither the wizard nor eerie wants any bad blood between spastic and cia but now stop saying we steal members from groups if those guys want to join spastic its THEIR choice THEY think its gonna be better ok this is long enough if you want to apply to spastic well err get in contact with the wizard or eerie on the stellar nights (610)896-9140 or sarcastic toaster (418)849-0121 and include a sample of your work you can also call the spastic vmb (800)241-7337 (1682#) or
