dangermouse:
woo!
M_Mouse: wowzers..
dangermouse:
ok.. lay a bio on me
dangermouse: oh i dunno.. name, age, sex (yes/no!?
:>), live, hobbies.. that kinda shit
M_Mouse: name: brian age: 18 sex: whenever possible
hobbies: art, computers, sports, air cadets (yehaw for the
military)..
dangermouse: woo to the milt too.. umm.. so how long
have you been in the scene?
M_Mouse: hrmm.. it's been like.. 2 years or so..
wow.. :)
dangermouse: yeah the 2 year mark will be creaping
up on me come nov.. phew
M_Mouse: cool :)
dangermouse:
so, what do you actually do? ansi, other shit (for those
that dont know) -- and what groups are you in?
M_Mouse: i do: ansi (ansi/2), ascii, rip, vga, and
code and i'm in cia (yep, that's it) ..
dangermouse: my god! one group! are you mad man!
hhee
M_Mouse: oh, and web stuff if that counts :)
M_Mouse: (it does on the cia mem list :)
dangermouse: web counts
dangermouse: how did you actually get into the scene?
who were your 'inspirations'?
M_Mouse: yeah.. sorry for all those pro-dualers :)..
i'm not gonna do it.. i'm a senior in cia and dualing might
look bad altough i've already done it before *snicker*..
M_Mouse:
umm, about 2 years ago, i was running a board, i decided
to draw fonts in ascii for it. i had some artpacks i got
from god-knows-where so i knew about the chans on irc..
then i got irc access and looked around for #ansi and stuff...and
things just sorta evolved.. i didn't really have 1 single
inspiration.. i really wanted a well rounded style.
dangermouse:
ahh.. an interesting story.. mine was just sorta the same
actually - i drew a few fonts for incubus (rGt's old board)
and yeah.. it sprouted from there
M_Mouse: yeah.. it's not totally interesting.. but
it's kinda fun to remember "way back when" :)
dangermouse: ahha yeah
dangermouse:
i know your good at web design (like me eh!? :>), just from
looking at your pages ie. yours, and genfab.. how do design
them? just from mind to code? or
M_Mouse: pretty much outta my head.. i just load
up note pad and photoshop and go at it. I can usually come
up with interesting ideas. The genfab pages however will
require alot of planing, cause of the cgi involved, but
otherwise the ideas for the layouts are outta my head..
dangermouse: yeah i find, from doing design at uni
within my multimedia degree, that planning a webpage on
paper first can iron out a lot of problems, especially tables
and layout issues..
M_Mouse: yep, but i always like to experiment in
a practical manner..
dangermouse: hhaa. yeah i that too from time to time
dangermouse:
just getting back to your art, who do you 'look up to' or
admire the most within the scene?
dangermouse: even current influences
M_Mouse: well, napalm, cia's fearless leader is one
of my biggest influences as well as filth, cia's faithfull
kick-ass ansi/rip artist.
dangermouse: yeah, filth is a damn good artist, his
use of color is outstanding, even in b&w images :)
M_Mouse: fer sure..
dangermouse:
what do you think of the current scene as a whole? do you
see the influx of the european scene as a good or a bad
thing (obvious answer here)
dangermouse: influx of artists from the euro scene
i meant
dangermouse: ?
M_Mouse: not much of an ansi scene gonna be left
in the near future. I dig euro's :).. "the more the merrier."
:)
dangermouse:
yeah.. the european scene, i feel, has breathed new life
into the ansi scene
dangermouse: im lagged to f**kery
dangermouse: yeah ansi is a dying art form tho..
the web has changed the scene dramatically, or even gone
past it - the scene needs to catch up - ACiD's packs exemplify
this notion
