*** whirr dwb300@janus2-4.usask.ca joined channel skills
mHz Alright then, Im here with Whirr, the very popular and openly gay
25 year-old Quad-P ascii artist. What do you have to say for yourself,
son?
whirr id like to say that im proud to be a lesbian trapped in a mans
body.
mHz I see. VERY interesting. So, I hear youve drawn a bit of that
crazyass ascii stuff in your day, am I wrong?
mHz You type slow as hell, christ.
whirr youre probably wrong. many people has said that i seem to bash my
ass on the keyboard at times. And theyre right. but there are also
times in which i deliberately do ascii.
whirr but you love me anyway.
mHz Lemme tell you, NOONE deliberatly does ascii, it just happens, like
female ejaculation.
whirr well thats true enough too. After all, i did start off as a lit guy.
mHz Whirr, youre one of the scenes most underrated artists, and rightfully
so ahaha. What do you think of the ascii scene today? Might we
topple to ansi scene in the coming days?
whirr i dont see us ever reaching what most people see as the place of
ansi. Were still often overlooked. And weve got a different
perspective on things.
whirr and i didnt answer the question.
mHz You sure didnt, do that while I check if my pants are dry.
whirr of course im under-rated, i havent pimped myself to every group out
there. im in ONE group, quad-p. I really do think theres a problem
when people are in 6 or seven groups and give them all the same stuff
every month. whats the point to that? its moronic.
mHz Its Pariah you mean.
whirr hahahahahaha
whirr im not about to name anyone, but since you brought it up.
mHz So youre in Quad-P, Run by that weird guy Hiro-P. Give us a bit of
an insight to the day-to-day of operations of the Quad-P mafia.
whirr hiros the man of course. mithrandir and i are the ultra-elite ss of
the group. the group consists mostly of 306 and 403 boys, but weve
got some US and international members too. Lots of groups these days
say theyre the original laidback group. thats a lie. qdp has been
around since 1989 as a pirate group back then and weve always done
things at our own pace. I like to think that we give people a chance
to find out what they like to do and work o
mHz Sounds good, Im always down for groups that help out people that the
big groups turn their backs on. I think we all best know Quad-P from
the stock ansis that came with Iniquity BBS Software. AHAH.
mHz I understand youre planning quite the major colly release -- whats
that gonna be like?
whirr well its going to be my second colly. im planning it to be a one
year anniversary kind of thing. I started playing around with ascii
in late june 96, so i figured id like to show how things have
changed. ill throw in a couple logos from the olden days and then
beat people down with my new skills. and of course then theres the
title...a massive 29 words. and someones already done a logo for it.
Thanks go out to o7 for that one.
beat people down with my new skills. and of course then theres the
title...a massive 29 words. and someones already done a logo for it.
Thanks go out to o7 for that one.
mHz 29 words? Man ohh Manischewitz. If I remember correctly and I do
your first colly was simply called Fuck you Slut in French.
whirr i like typing long answers.
mHz I like when you type long answers as well, BUDDY.
whirr its all part of the ramble in me. short answers just wont do.
mHz Two more questions -- give us your scene history, and then, tell me
what you think of my nikes.
whirr ill answer the second one first: i havent seen your nikes. But im
cool with them.
mHz Lemme tell you then, they have blue as blue as necronites bawlz, and
gold as gold as my pinky ring, and white as white as sargon.
whirr now for the first one...
whirr get ready for a long answer.
mHz but of course.
whirr I started out doing lit back in 1994, just for myself and some local
boards. Hiro ran across me and liked what he saw. He hooked me up
with revolt lit in 1995 and i joined quad-p during the middle of that
year. revolt came and went and came and went, but i managed to
release with both qdp and revolt for that year. And of course i then
got my internet connect, which changed the audience i was exposed to.
I started to hit a writing block last june.
mHz im waiting for a big block of text to flood me.
whirr so to continue: my focus went to newschool. I really enjoyed what i
was doing and necromancer of all people really helped me out with
that. My first and only, so far colly came out last november. I
dont know how many times i was invited to join aphro!ascii. recently
ive made my interest known to join remorse, but so far ive been put
into an official groupie status and have even been jokingly
suggested as mascot by a couple people.
mHz Mascot? I for one dont need to see you parading around in a fucking
birdie suit, so Im gonna have to vote you down there.
whirr im happy with where i am right now. ive got a strong sense of group
loyalty. whatever happens will happen, im not about to go apeshit if
i never get invited into a group, i like the people im tight with
now.
whirr ok, that turned into either a rant or a ramble at some point.
mHz Ok, I lied, one more question. What do you think of tle Lord God Megga
Hertz the Kingpin?
whirr and if you dont want to see me in a bird suit, why did you keep the
picture?
mHz Theres a picture? oh MY.
whirr i think that tlgmhztkp has to be one of the most style-ripped people
in the ascii scene. I dont understand that. People should be able
to do their own thing. As for the man himself, hes got it going on.
mHz Alright maing, thanks for the interview, please type your name on
the below line to show that you do not hold myself responsible for the
manipulation of your answers is skills number 02.
whirr ok: i do hereby and willfully sign away any possible right to not be
offended in any way shape of form to any creative edit that mhz may do
to my answers. Signed here 6/6/97 by WindRider quad-p/
whirr oh wait, its 6/7/97. hahaha
mHz Ok, your 15 minutes of fame has come to a close. You may waltz out of
here the same way you came in.
whirr bah. then ill just leave, unless you want to do the noble thing and
kick my ass.

Skills / ASCII Tutorial
I gotta tell you, nothing flatters me more then attempts at my style
it flatters the fuck out of me. so for all of those of whove asked,
heres a tutorial that should help get your madstyle oldschool on.
Step 1
The easiest way is to start with a bunch of equal sized blocks,
in the amount of the font youre going to do. Well do a simple
font, acid, to start with. 6 High x 9 Wide usually work.
Take one of the boxes and use approximately half of it for the I.
Now, fill in your basic shape, well do lowercase.
Step 2
Use fore / and back slashes to give your letters shape, make the
letter stick out in certain places.
Step 3
Add double, NOT triple slashes, to shade the font. Add and chars
to connect the lines.
Step 4
And now, the part youve ALL been waiting for. Time for mHzhape,
mHz-shape a.k.a. the ,,-----,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, stuff.
Careful where you put these, or your letters will look like onions.
Step 5
Replace some of the s with :s and s to make add detail.
Add at the end of certain letters.
Step 6
If youre lost, just stop, if not, add a simple background, made of
: and . characters. Make sure theyre square shaped.
You may want to add some equal signs to give more depth.
Bad version. Good version.
Step 7
Next add your hardk0re sig, and possibly some more detail, and youre
done.
/ .mHz
Step 8
There, the secrets out. Greet if you rip this tutor.
Youre pretty much done. What you have witnessed is just one
way I use to draw simpler logos. More tutorials may follow,
now go draw and add your spin on things.. - mHzDeuceBugsy

newschool.

DARK + MIST DIRT in your MASK.
cm-mist asc 5 Looks alright, but more detail should have been addded,
shading with color isnt the best way.
disco-04 asc 6 Original looking, also candle-looking.
ds-0597 asc 8 Dead Souls coloring skills rival those of Msd, kHz,
and fractal, these logos are badass, especially the 1st.
ds-chth3 asc 7 Good logo.

ds-omlt1 asc 6 Ansi + Ascii rarely works..
ds-spf1 asc 7 Who IS this guy? Good pic, nose looked a bit weird, but
very good otherwise.
ge-klf asc 5 Average, reminds me of old mSd/sOap stuff.
mu-alien asc 6 More background/detail/alien shading was needed, but it
looked alright.
pzk-smop asc 6 The character is dark and evil, which is good.

ASCII is a communication tool that will live forever. ASCII as an art form
is just one of its faces of communication.

Subject: Re: ascii
mHz What do you think of the current rise in popularity of ascii art?
Im glad that one of the oldest and most challenging forms of computer art
has a new-found recognition and respect in the art scene. For a long time
ascii art was the only choice to express creativity with a computer. Now there
are literally hundreds of different formats, platforms and mediums within the
general genre of computer art. Fortunately people continue to chose ascii
artwork as their primary form of expression. With all of these new formats
and ascii art having remained largely unchanged for years, its popularity
dropped for quite a while. Its recent rise in popularity has brought out new
and talented artists who take ascii artwork above and beyond older work in
terms of complexity, creativity and originality. Ascii art has been and will
continue to be around for a long time.
Xypher Matryx of Dark
*XypherMC* What do you think about the recent popularity of ascii art?
XypherMCxmtrx@gold.interlog.com recent? Id hardly call it that. :
Mediums always vary, productivity wise, but I dont see it as any more
popular than a month ago. : And Id be honoured to be a site.
Deeply Disturbed of Twilight
mHz dd: What do you think about the recent trend in popularity among ascii
deeplyd mhz: Oh, asciieasy to do, peoplelazy.. figure it out :
Egoteq of Twilight
mHz Egoteq.. .what do you think of the current uprising in ascii art?
egoteq mhz: ascii art is ok
egoteq mhz: but only like.. dead souls ascii
egoteq the rest smell
egoteq mhz: ill tell you this: ASCii art is good for shell and
stuff
egoteq but its quite useless otherwise
egoteq ANSi is still good for BBSs
egoteq Its an art, i agree
egoteq but personally, i dont enjoy viewing it much. its very recycled
egoteq but ASCII is not as AWEing as ansi
Flame of Rile
mHz flame: What do you think of the current rise in popularity of ascii
flame mhz well, im glad some other medium is finally getting some other
attention.
flame mhz but art is art, and should all be looked at.
Black Viper of iCE
mHz bv: what do you think about the current rise in popularity of ascii
art?
BViper theres a rise in popularity of ascii?
BViper i didnt know that.
BViper i thought it was actually dying
Mr4Tune of AWE
mHz mr4: What do you think about the current rise in popularity of ascii?
4o mhz: what should I say ,, cool and stuff I think
4o whut rise anyway ?
Halaster of FIRE
mHzDeuce Halasterisimo: What do you think of ascii?
halkates@UNIX14.ANDREW.CMU.EDU ascii? i couldnt care less. :
-hal- Doh!
-hal- This is for my mag, cant you come up with anything better?
halkates@UNIX14.ANDREW.CMU.EDU im not very involved right now, so i
dont know whats currently up.
mHzDeuce yeah, great answer, thanks chiefy.
The Night Angel of AWE Note - Tna is primarily a pay artist.
mHz tna: What do you think of the recent rise in popularity of ascii art?
tna mhz: how much do i get for answering that question?
mHz tna: 10.
tna mhz: okay great.. well, see, i think ascii is a simple medium. like,
easier than ansi. if its well-done though, it looks great.. like dys
stuff. but since it is really simple since you do not need to shade
it, alot of ppl have started drawing asciis just to be in the scene..
so i think there are too many not too good ascii artists these days.
* tna wants his ten bucks.

*** whirr dwb300@janus2-4.usask.ca joined channel skills
mHz Alright then, Im here with Whirr, the very popular and openly gay
25 year-old Quad-P ascii artist. What do you have to say for yourself,
son?
whirr id like to say that im proud to be a lesbian trapped in a mans
body.
mHz I see. VERY interesting. So, I hear youve drawn a bit of that
crazyass ascii stuff in your day, am I wrong?
mHz You type slow as hell, christ.
whirr youre probably wrong. many people has said that i seem to bash my
ass on the keyboard at times. And theyre right. but there are also
times in which i deliberately do ascii.
whirr but you love me anyway.
mHz Lemme tell you, NOONE deliberatly does ascii, it just happens, like
female ejaculation.
whirr well thats true enough too. After all, i did start off as a lit guy.
mHz Whirr, youre one of the scenes most underrated artists, and rightfully
so ahaha. What do you think of the ascii scene today? Might we
topple to ansi scene in the coming days?
whirr i dont see us ever reaching what most people see as the place of
ansi. Were still often overlooked. And weve got a different
perspective on things.
whirr and i didnt answer the question.
mHz You sure didnt, do that while I check if my pants are dry.
whirr of course im under-rated, i havent pimped myself to every group out
there. im in ONE group, quad-p. I really do think theres a problem
when people are in 6 or seven groups and give them all the same stuff
every month. whats the point to that? its moronic.
mHz Its Pariah you mean.
whirr hahahahahaha
whirr im not about to name anyone, but since you brought it up.
mHz So youre in Quad-P, Run by that weird guy Hiro-P. Give us a bit of
an insight to the day-to-day of operations of the Quad-P mafia.
whirr hiros the man of course. mithrandir and i are the ultra-elite ss of
the group. the group consists mostly of 306 and 403 boys, but weve
got some US and international members too. Lots of groups these days
say theyre the original laidback group. thats a lie. qdp has been
around since 1989 as a pirate group back then and weve always done
things at our own pace. I like to think that we give people a chance
to find out what they like to do and work o
mHz Sounds good, Im always down for groups that help out people that the
big groups turn their backs on. I think we all best know Quad-P from
the stock ansis that came with Iniquity BBS Software. AHAH.
mHz I understand youre planning quite the major colly release -- whats
that gonna be like?
whirr well its going to be my second colly. im planning it to be a one
year anniversary kind of thing. I started playing around with ascii
in late june 96, so i figured id like to show how things have
changed. ill throw in a couple logos from the olden days and then
beat people down with my new skills. and of course then theres the
title...a massive 29 words. and someones already done a logo for it.
Thanks go out to o7 for that one.
beat people down with my new skills. and of course then theres the

Thanks go out to o7 for that one.
mHz 29 words? Man ohh Manischewitz. If I remember correctly and I do
your first colly was simply called Fuck you Slut in French.
whirr i like typing long answers.
mHz I like when you type long answers as well, BUDDY.
whirr its all part of the ramble in me. short answers just wont do.
mHz Two more questions -- give us your scene history, and then, tell me
what you think of my nikes.
whirr ill answer the second one first: i havent seen your nikes. But im
cool with them.
mHz Lemme tell you then, they have blue as blue as necronites bawlz, and
gold as gold as my pinky ring, and white as white as sargon.
whirr now for the first one...
whirr get ready for a long answer.
mHz but of course.
whirr I started out doing lit back in 1994, just for myself and some local
boards. Hiro ran across me and liked what he saw. He hooked me up
with revolt lit in 1995 and i joined quad-p during the middle of that
year. revolt came and went and came and went, but i managed to
release with both qdp and revolt for that year. And of course i then
got my internet connect, which changed the audience i was exposed to.
I started to hit a writing block last june.
mHz im waiting for a big block of text to flood me.
whirr so to continue: my focus went to newschool. I really enjoyed what i
was doing and necromancer of all people really helped me out with
that. My first and only, so far colly came out last november. I
dont know how many times i was invited to join aphro!ascii. recently
ive made my interest known to join remorse, but so far ive been put
into an official groupie status and have even been jokingly
suggested as mascot by a couple people.
mHz Mascot? I for one dont need to see you parading around in a fucking
birdie suit, so Im gonna have to vote you down there.
whirr im happy with where i am right now. ive got a strong sense of group
loyalty. whatever happens will happen, im not about to go apeshit if
i never get invited into a group, i like the people im tight with
now.
whirr ok, that turned into either a rant or a ramble at some point.
mHz Ok, I lied, one more question. What do you think of tle Lord God Megga
Hertz the Kingpin?
whirr and if you dont want to see me in a bird suit, why did you keep the
picture?
mHz Theres a picture? oh MY.
whirr i think that tlgmhztkp has to be one of the most style-ripped people
in the ascii scene. I dont understand that. People should be able
to do their own thing. As for the man himself, hes got it going on.
mHz Alright maing, thanks for the interview, please type your name on
the below line to show that you do not hold myself responsible for the
manipulation of your answers is skills number 02.
whirr ok: i do hereby and willfully sign away any possible right to not be
offended in any way shape of form to any creative edit that mhz may do
to my answers. Signed here 6/6/97 by WindRider quad-p/
whirr oh wait, its 6/7/97. hahaha
mHz Ok, your 15 minutes of fame has come to a close. You may waltz out of
here the same way you came in.
whirr bah. then ill just leave, unless you want to do the noble thing and
kick my ass.

Skills / ASCII Tutorial
I gotta tell you, nothing flatters me more then attempts at my style
it flatters the fuck out of me. so for all of those of whove asked,
heres a tutorial that should help get your madstyle oldschool on.
Step 1
The easiest way is to start with a bunch of equal sized blocks,
in the amount of the font youre going to do. Well do a simple
font, acid, to start with. 6 High x 9 Wide usually work.
Take one of the boxes and use approximately half of it for the I.
Now, fill in your basic shape, well do lowercase.
Step 2
Use fore / and back slashes to give your letters shape, make the
letter stick out in certain places.
Step 3
Add double, NOT triple slashes, to shade the font. Add and chars
to connect the lines.
Step 4
And now, the part youve ALL been waiting for. Time for mHzhape,
mHz-shape a.k.a. the ,,-----,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, stuff.
Careful where you put these, or your letters will look like onions.
Step 5
Replace some of the s with :s and s to make add detail.
Add at the end of certain letters.
Step 6
If youre lost, just stop, if not, add a simple background, made of
: and . characters. Make sure theyre square shaped.
You may want to add some equal signs to give more depth.
Bad version. Good version.
Step 7
Next add your hardk0re sig, and possibly some more detail, and youre
done.
/ .mHz
Step 8
There, the secrets out. Greet if you rip this tutor.
Youre pretty much done. What you have witnessed is just one
way I use to draw simpler logos. More tutorials may follow,
now go draw and add your spin on things.. - mHzDeuceBugsy

krew going for them. This
joint pack, with Mistigris
had some quite impressive
newschool.
xm
DARK + MIST DIRT in your MASK.
cm-mist asc 5 Looks alright, but more detail should have been addded,
shading with color isnt the best way.
disco-04 asc 6 Original looking, also candle-looking.
ds-0597 asc 8 Dead Souls coloring skills rival those of Msd, kHz,
and fractal, these logos are badass, especially the 1st.
ds-chth3 asc 7 Good logo.
ds-lfc1 asc 7
ds-omlt1 asc 6 Ansi + Ascii rarely works..
ds-spf1 asc 7 Who IS this guy? Good pic, nose looked a bit weird, but
very good otherwise.
ge-klf asc 5 Average, reminds me of old mSd/sOap stuff.
mu-alien asc 6 More background/detail/alien shading was needed, but it
looked alright.
pzk-smop asc 6 The character is dark and evil, which is good.
yt-dark asc 6 Interesting, fairly original font.
Oldschool highlight : Not Applicable.

I recently asked a few well-known ANSI artists there opinions on ASCII
as an artform, and what they thought about its increased popularity.

ASCII is a communication tool that will live forever. ASCII as an art form
is just one of its faces of communication.

mHz What do you think of the current rise in popularity of ascii art?
Im glad that one of the oldest and most challenging forms of computer art
has a new-found recognition and respect in the art scene. For a long time
ascii art was the only choice to express creativity with a computer. Now there
are literally hundreds of different formats, platforms and mediums within the
general genre of computer art. Fortunately people continue to chose ascii
artwork as their primary form of expression. With all of these new formats
and ascii art having remained largely unchanged for years, its popularity
dropped for quite a while. Its recent rise in popularity has brought out new
and talented artists who take ascii artwork above and beyond older work in
terms of complexity, creativity and originality. Ascii art has been and will
continue to be around for a long time.
Xypher Matryx of Dark
*XypherMC* What do you think about the recent popularity of ascii art?
XypherMCxmtrx@gold.interlog.com recent? Id hardly call it that. :
Mediums always vary, productivity wise, but I dont see it as any more
popular than a month ago. : And Id be honoured to be a site.
Deeply Disturbed of Twilight
mHz dd: What do you think about the recent trend in popularity among ascii
deeplyd mhz: Oh, asciieasy to do, peoplelazy.. figure it out :
Egoteq of Twilight
mHz Egoteq.. .what do you think of the current uprising in ascii art?
egoteq mhz: ascii art is ok
egoteq mhz: but only like.. dead souls ascii
egoteq the rest smell
egoteq mhz: ill tell you this: ASCii art is good for shell and
stuff
egoteq but its quite useless otherwise
egoteq ANSi is still good for BBSs
egoteq Its an art, i agree
egoteq but personally, i dont enjoy viewing it much. its very recycled
egoteq but ASCII is not as AWEing as ansi
Flame of Rile
mHz flame: What do you think of the current rise in popularity of ascii
flame mhz well, im glad some other medium is finally getting some other
attention.
flame mhz but art is art, and should all be looked at.
Black Viper of iCE
mHz bv: what do you think about the current rise in popularity of ascii
art?
BViper theres a rise in popularity of ascii?
BViper i didnt know that.
BViper i thought it was actually dying
Mr4Tune of AWE
mHz mr4: What do you think about the current rise in popularity of ascii?
4o mhz: what should I say ,, cool and stuff I think
4o whut rise anyway ?
Halaster of FIRE
mHzDeuce Halasterisimo: What do you think of ascii?
halkates@UNIX14.ANDREW.CMU.EDU ascii? i couldnt care less. :
-hal- Doh!
-hal- This is for my mag, cant you come up with anything better?
halkates@UNIX14.ANDREW.CMU.EDU im not very involved right now, so i
dont know whats currently up.
mHzDeuce yeah, great answer, thanks chiefy.
The Night Angel of AWE Note - Tna is primarily a pay artist.
mHz tna: What do you think of the recent rise in popularity of ascii art?
tna mhz: how much do i get for answering that question?
mHz tna: 10.
tna mhz: okay great.. well, see, i think ascii is a simple medium. like,
easier than ansi. if its well-done though, it looks great.. like dys
stuff. but since it is really simple since you do not need to shade
it, alot of ppl have started drawing asciis just to be in the scene..
so i think there are too many not too good ascii artists these days.
* tna wants his ten bucks.

I think ascii is elite. Itll be around for a long while as a legitimate
art form. I dig it like sugar smacks.
