tna AWE Lettering Newsletter #20 pe Introduction - As 1998 fades like a sigh I m sure many find themselves reflecting upon the sometimes torrid sometimes serene times that flavoured our scene throughout the past year Groups came and went - many were conceived many crumbled and many still soar As an ansi family Awe itself rode the art scene roller coaster enduring morose moments and treasuring its peaks and achievements And as 1999 bears itself Awe is set to take the scene as you know it by the balls Solidly on our feet once again we are braced and accomplished once more gracing creative minds everywhere with our unique brand of innovation and talent Welcome to AWE Lettering #20 This is OUR year -- - - - - - Member Additions - - Newsletter #19 The effervescent vat of logo godliness that is Awe was spiced with the much welcomed arrival of four members to the roster Absent Spinsister - a former Awe member and seasoned ascii vetern Absent returns as an integral part of our esteemed council Featured pieces _a work asc Grindstoned - we are infinitely pleased to say that Grindstoned an ansi prodigy and original Awe member has returned to his roots!

On the topic of member listing we ve decided to proceed listing ALL members of the group rather than artists with work in that pack only Due to some confusion and a few complaints we ve returned to old traditional methods Awe has decided to invoke a no-guest policy as of next release However due to the fact that this is a celebratory pack it does contain a few guest pieces These include fonts from Quip and Count Zero of Ice Kiomatsu and Kayozz The thought is appreciated but it causes organization and dual releasing problems An expression of our endeniable leetness Awe remains invite only ) Well party hard and treat that hangover with a heavy dose of Awe goodness!
