pCwave
Recently pcwave have been releasing art packs ever
month , we mad it upto art pack 3 after i thought of a great
idea which has never happened in our area +613 , a merge of
2 art crews , what it meant was that both Pcwave and SF come
together and release art together ... There will be no more
PcWave , just Shaolins Finest ... The reason i wanted to merge
groups was to be big in the art sence around the world , but
if i stayed with Pcwave i could not have achieved what i dreamed
for ... Pcwave has been around for a little while , and its not
BEiNG dropped .... Some members from PcWave will be dropped
and some members will make it to SF , my bbs TFP the funk
phenomena , will be a internatinal bbs for all art doods
around the world to come to my board ... Well here it is
2 Great art crews have merged , and will never die ....
SF forever ... sikko - ex-pcwave founder ...
Well its the day after the merger of PCWave and Shaolins Finest and I guess it
is time for an explanation for the merge. Firt and foremost, I would like to
stress that this is NOT a case of a bigger fish Shaolins Finest eating up thelittle fish
PCWave. Sikko had apparently been considering a merger between hisgroup and mine
because he lacked the time to organise and run a group. His
intentions of merging was brought to my attention during a chat on the IRC.
As I am starting university this year, I am anticipating that my time will be
much more precious, as most of my day will be taken up by travelling to uni,
attending lectures and of course socialising. This leaves very little time for
me to draw art and distribute the packs etc. Sikko, I am sure is in the same
situation, therefore a merger between our groups will be benificial for both
us and the members of the groups concerned. Sikko will become a senior of SF andwill be res
ponsible for the distribution of the packs, both on local boards and
the internet, while I concern myself with collecting and packing artwork.
Benefits for the members are that they will be able to continue releasing their
usual high quality artwork with a stable and organised group. There wont be a
great shake up of the organisations, the only thing members may have to adjust
to is releasing with a new group in the case of PCW members and having a bunchof new arti
sts to release with.
This merge, will also bring to us an IRC channel with an offer bot offering all
Shaolins Finest packs SF98. This will provide a meeting place for SF membersand sysops
to come and exchange ansi ideas, request art, apply for membership,
chat, etc. It will also enable overseas artists to contact SF members and exposeAustralian
art and our scene to the world that sounded slightly cliched but it
will hopefully do something to that effect : .
We are not in any way attempting to create a big elite Australian supergroup.
I personally cringe at the idea of a group merging with all the smaller weaker
groups. It is a stupid idea and there is NO WAY at all that SF is heading in
that direction. What we hope to achieve is infact the opposite, I hope that by
making a larger group, we will gain more attention, hence inspiring people to
get to work and create high quality artwork. If these newbies decide to create
their own group, then let them if they survive, we may see another Force or
Apocalyptic Visions, if they fail, we would not suffer any loss as they were
probably lacking in inspiration or talent - no loss at all to us as we will
still be around :.
The bottom line is that this is not a merger of a smaller group into a bigger
one, nor is it a merger between a better group with one of a lower calibre. It
is a merging of two equal artgroups caused by the necessity of their respective
leaders - Sikko and I. We do not wish to start a super group, nor do I wish to
merge with any other groups in the forseeable future, all I really want to do
is release art for my enjoyment and for the viewing pleasure of everyone that
looks at a Shaolins Finest artpack. That is all there is to this merge, no
secrets, no conspiracies - just two group leaders without enough time to run
their groups deciding to share the responsibility.
