Interview with Red Demon of Low Profile
.X A N S W E R S X.
o1. When did you make your first Ascii attempts?
1. My very first attempts to make an aski logo, was somewhere in Januari /
Februari 1995.I released my first pack in May the same year for those
who are interested it was called RDM-GRDY.TXT.
o2. Do you know how many Ascii-productions have you released?
2. Yess actually, i do.
o3. Whats so damn special with Ascii?
3. Its not specificly aski that is so appealing to me.I did gfx art before
I started doing aski art.For me, the expression itself is what is more
important.I like to make logos, in aski or plain gfx, or even graf pieces
on papper.Perhaps i will started spraying in the future.
o4. Have you got any special idols from the Ascii-scene?
4. Desoto, Rapid, Stezotehic, Trivial, Axeblade, H2O, Webster, Dino, Folar,
Relief, Mark ryder, U-man, Exocet, Crusader, Gozz, Mortimer Twang, Flite
and Stylewars are my favorits.Perhaps there are a few more, but i cant
call them to mind this instant.
o5. Whats your opinion about the Iff2Ascii-Art?
5. I dont see IFF2ASC as an aski art form.In my opinion its more a form of
gfx.
o6. Are dots more stylish than regular Ascii?
6. More stylish, perhaps, it just adds a little xtra to the ascii.
o7. Do you read every single collection that is released today?
7. I try to read all i can get my hands on, although some packs sometimes
seem to be made to bore the viewer.In these cases I just read the intro
and outro, and look at the style used in overall.
o8. Do you answer requests made to All Available Artists ?
8. Most of the time i dont.I dont see why people ask art from All Available
Artists.They are apperantly not interested in *me* as an artist, cause
they would have requested to me personaly.That means they do not spend
enough time on the art-scene, the dont deserve art atleast not mine.
o9. How should a request be written to be guarantied a answer from you?
9. Theres no perscription to a good request.Most of the time i take the
requests.If i do not take them, im probably too busy with projects.
1o. Are there more Ascii-groups than there has to be?
10. Well, i could live without Wu Trank and Ultimo Emperio if that is what
you mean.
11. What do you think of the attitude in the Ascii-scene of today?
11. Pfff.. thats hard.I dont think you can speak of a scene in general.The
scene is build up from individuals.They are more important to me than the
scene is.Although i must say that some sceners somethese do have a bit of
an arrogant attitude.Hopefully i will never be one of them.
12. What do you think about the idea of having special magazines
dedicated to the Ascii-scene?
12. Why not, it breaks the day.Perhaps there could be some more mags with
interviews, which have questions that are interesting enough to read the
reply from.
13. Is there a big difference between Old-skool Ascii and Ascii of today?
13. That depends on which artist you are looking at.Art from some artist
still have a taste from the old days in them.Far as im conserned thats
okay, but i try to move on, make new styles, try different chars.I must
add that at the time I became active in the scene the real *oldskool*
was already starting to fade a bit.
14. Have you any special projects going on that will be released in a
near future?
14. Im currently working on a coop with Boheme, which will probably be
released somewhere in 2013.Besides that im working on my own packs, and
on LP! as a group, to keep things on track.I was also thinking about
creating a group called High Profits.This group should consist of
anyone who wants to release something else, beside aski packs.For
instance humoristic stories, poems, comments on the scene, what ever you
would want to tell the public, which cant be told in a normal pack.
Only thing is, that you must be an aski artist to join.This to keep the
connection with the aski scene.
15. What would you be doing instead of Ascii if you suddenly quitted?
15. I would probably spend more time on skool.Besides that i would probably
do the same things i do now-a-days, which is playing on my psx, snow-
boarding, listening to music, and some skateboarding.
16. Do you have a horny snoop doggy dogg?
16. No i do not.I do however, own a cat.This fact alone makes me an aski
artist hi Wise-k:, since cats and aski are very close.An investigation
i did some time ago on this subject showed that almost 90 of the more-
known artists have a cat.There are even artists who own more then one cat,
for instane Hotwire who has four cats, making him a very good artist.
I think that there should be a list, the 100-most-cat-friendly-artists.
Perhaps Punk could make this list, it would serve more value then the one
is making now.
2. I released fifteen packs coops included and i also tried to do some
crappy humoristic files.
