The fact that there isn't much for me ²°  to say about the past month has pretty much proved this to me. Sure,  it might be nice to sit back once you've assembled a great team of  artists and just expect great things to happen, but that's no fun.  To remedy this, we'll be taking on a whole new attitude. We'll be  shaking up convention, exploring new avenues, taking on new challenges. I want all of our members to think of a project they've been meaning to do for a long time and just do it. Get it out of the way. Or even more appropriately, take something you've already dismissed as  impossible or inappropriate and do THAT. To me, art is all about evolution. Stagnation equals death. Do what hasn't been done before, either by yourself or anyone else, and you should end up better off than you were before. Fireweb.org is getting close to being operational. Look for some kind  of official launch this month. Until then, you can find us at:  http://patriot.net/~panacea. -god among lice ..:: domino? no way, we color and shade our blocks...  Shortly after the last pack we finally were ready to give longtime Fire member and k-spiff font artist Vade79 what he deserves and so he was promoted to senior staff of the Golden Bees... congrats Chris We welcome two new ansi guys to our ranks this month who come to us from the heat of early European summer... From the ashes of Blend Riddler decided to follow his pal Ville into Fire... look out for his fresh logo stuff in this pack and hopefully some new pics soon... With Noize another german artists joins up with Fire. Coming from Mean Scheme and Black Maiden he already made himself a name in some  areas and will hopefully get YOUR attention now, too... Nobody leaving this month? Hey, looks like we're kinda stable again.  One more thing... i have to say thanks to somebody special who helped me and cheered me up when i was deep down and was about to quit scene for good last month... so it's thanks to the fontist of the fontists, thanks Alex. -nail ..:: We've gone to Alaskii... Our ascii artists seem to have gone on a summer vacation of sorts this month. Baphomet was apparently left behind, however, as he was able  to send us something for the pack. Let's just hope it was only some  hiking and sightseeing in Denali National Park and not a permanent change of address. ..:: Real Art? naaaah... Fire vga now officially has a new motto: "No Boundaries". The goal  here is to stretch all previous ideas of what computer art is, and to  change what people expect to see from it. This will involve an  increased infusion of material from other, more traditional media, as  well as a greater emphasis on exploration and creation of new styles. Another step taken will be the active search and recruitment of artists who share this attitude and who take their artwork as seriously as we do. I know there are people out there who have similar goals in their artistic endeavours; it is only a matter of letting them know that we exist and that there are others like us. Look for some fresh faces and fresh attitudes come next month. -god among lice ..:: Turned soporific?  Things look just great. To think, not long ago I was downright worried about Fire's future. Right now, I can't remember the last time I was  so excited about the road ahead. For the first time, I feel like we  actually have the power to do something significant. Now I dare you to do something significant yourself.  -god among lice SAUCE00#info# fire news senior staff fire 199706 8Â4P
