Im back.
Ten packs ago, myself and the ruiner planned to build something simple.
something that would be a lot of fun, with simple, yet appealing art,
and something under our supervision. i had just come from mistigris,
after releasing one ansi there and leaving. and ruiner had come from
twisted. twisted is where we met. thinking of starting a new group
was fun. neither of us were anything amazing when it came to ansi.
neither of us expected the scene to turn its head and take notice. but
our attitude touched other artists. our ideas increased interest. our
positive attitude attracted more and more. yet never losing focus. never
giving into that egotistical way of thinking that was calling us from around
the corner. and as i type this today, i feel a little self satisfied. as i
think about what we were, and what weve become. the idea of glue being
based around myself and the ruiner has diminished. infact, it has become
something that not only the entire group is involved in, but the entire
scene. we are a group that everyone belongs to. we arent here to prove that some other group isnt as good, we arent here to show you that you suck.
were here to show you that you can suceed. that even the little guy can
become something bigger and better than a ansi op. throughout it all,
we have been the david. up against the mighty goliath, and through
it all we have put aside the insults, the disbelief, and the negative comments and became something much bigger. so to all the little guys, this ones for
you.
i sprained my ankle on a trampoline.
The talent that stems from the drips of glue amazes me, more so now than it
ever did. we have gained such talent this month, im practically in dismay.
first off, we gained the talent of dissonance. i think that dissonance is
one of the best fontists that the scene has seen in a very long time, and
the fact that he chose to slap on some glue makes me proud. next up, we
grabbed da drug. he is an amazing toon artist, struting titles such as
fuel and echo. then, we pick up the extremist. yes, thats right,. the
extremist. i think hes been around here longer than the term oldschool,
and the talent and wisdom he has gathered over the years is proven this month
more so than ever. not a minute later than picking up thext, do we grab
noktor. new talent who will make you wonder where the hell we find these
guys. actually, he found us, and i couldnt be happier. and i donno if he
got mentioned previously or not, but we got dislogic on the member list y0e.
you all know who he is, so dont even pretend you dont realize his ansi
kicking ass. and at the very last moment,. only days before we release,.
inforce joined us! you know, ex-acid, ex-dvs, ex-rca artist. we are proud
to have him grace us with his presence.
we decided to re-introduce ascii into the packs. i hope it sticks around
this time. we only allow newschool artwork, and the division will be
headed by our brand new member, nahal,. who was previously in awe. WHOO
whOO. gimme a N A H A L,. whats that spell? umm.
i bought ill communication the other day. old yet satisfying.
oh, i guess i should give some explanation as to my where abouts lately. i was trying to get my grades up. running an artgroup can have its toll on
everyday life. so as my dad realized this, and noticed my aciddraw addiction, he decided to take away my computer. i got it back, for school purposes.
how ironic.
glue got a new homepage. its at glue.cjb.net . the page is hosted by my
long time friend mafesto who actually introduced me to coloured blocks.
the page is designed by drs and his amazing homepage design company called
gradtek. if you want a page designed by him, email him or something. i hope
he doesnt mind me plugging his company. oh, btw,. the page is good and i
like it a lot. make sure you go look.
i have 52 in grade 12 advanced math.
i introduced a low form of quality control this month too. i know were all
about fun, and producing quality art. but recently that latter quality has
been slacking. and i dont like releasing crap. i wont be too zealous as
dissonance would put it so i wont deter artists from applying and submitting work. its just that i know every artist in glue has the potential to
produce high quality art, and that sometimes we all like to slack and it ends
up showing. this month will only begin to prove what we can do. many of us
our new artists, and we evolve quickly. the quality control is only inforced
to keep our work above the qc line. blah.
Also, taintedx left us this month. yes i am aware that he was probably our
best artist, and yes i am aware that he was a senior and ran the group while
i was away. but im back, and hes gone and everything is still quality.
tainted will always be an intricit part of glue, and he will always be in glue if youre wondering why he left, the answer lies in the zenith pack. YAY
zenith. and taking his place is dissonance dee1 on irc. why? cause he
kicks ass, and knows what hes doing,. and has ALREADY helped out a ton.
yes, im a bastard.
well, that about sums up the events of this month. i would like to thank
rz of avenge for guesting in our pack. the font is amazing, thats why
ive got it in the info file and another terrific, practically unknown
artist named anomite submits a lovely pic as a guest too. he runs a group
called dominio, check them out anyways, have a great month everybody,
and ill see you in june. love bill.
