tna AWE Lettering Newsletter #18 pe Introduction - Art - what does the term when mentioned bring to mind One individual might envision a simple pencilled drawing another might mentally conceive an intricate colourscape Regardless the interluding fact is that art can be generalized as an expression of creativity in any form Therefore no form of art should be degraded or paled in comparison with another This is why I find myself angered slightly at the proclamation that ansi fonts cannot measure up to ansi pictures Such an ignorant statement should be re-considered how is it that a painting of a physical or animate object should be placed higher in stature than one of an inanimate set of letters Ansi as with many other art forms involves the creation of still pictures Hence the picture itself holds no real importance - it is the method or degree of originality used to create that is key Whether you enjoy viewing one or the other is a matter of personal preference Just don t disregard our art with idiotic ramblings or blind exclaimations Don t hesitate in downloading the newly-released Awe pack because it ll be nothing more than an archive full of boring logos If you re one of those that carries such a point of view I ve only one thing to say - you don t know what you re missing -- - - - - - Member Additions - - Newsletter #18 AWE Lettering grew by three this month Shrimp a former ascii artist now practicing his hand with ansi re-joined Awe after his comeback to our wonderful computer art scene We ve also added Mr Wrong to our elite roster he has experience with such groups as Mistigris and Glue and holds a style all his own Late in the month Mydknight joined us quite suddenly After taking a look at his fabulous ascii pieces I invited him and he accepted immediately Welcome aboard guys -- - - - - - Member Departures - - Newsletter #18 No one left this month!
