Starting introduction now... Okay, i was born on November, Friday the 13th in 1970. Yez... im 25 years young. :
I started at the age of 14, in 1984, with the C64. Im livin in a small town and everything is so boring over here. So we built a group called The Freaks. We traded stuff and so... you know what im saying : I did the graphics there.
In 1990 I bought my first PC and it took a long time, before I began to draw again. Looking for honor, I found a guy called Kyp in the ANSI.GER Area. After that it took four weeks and I joined Black Maiden. At this point, id like to thank rs all the dudes at BM for excepting me. Thats all :
Huhh...where am I stranded?
My personal greets go to: Rainman, Codeymsp,Busterblood, Illume, BM, Buster McAllen, Scorpion, Tom Loser, CI5 R.I.P andto all Ansi-Artists!
. , TX , . 1..2..3, lets go! Name: Serge Majerus, alias TX. Well, im 22 years old, born in Luxembourg the 14. august 1973 and im one of the founders of BLACK MAiDEN. Im taking a place in our VGA-battalion and there im trying to make some cool VGAs for our packs! I started painting in the age of 21, yeah vc!bm thats meaning im still a rookie. : With 16 i got my first real Homecompi, an Amiga 500 R.I.P : who was making a Dj of me. joke No, with this thing i got the first touch for VGAs and also my first virus :, but 3 years later arrived my PC and it took me still a year to get a modem. Tex in the times of prohibition So, nothing couldnt stop me to get deeper and deeper in the art-scene in Luxembourg hmm, i couldnt remember where thisArt-Scene was :. In the 1994, we got the first contact with the real Art-Sceneand now there we are!
So, for more details, take a glimpse at our homepage its not yet online butperhaps in XX days :
Thats all!
In BM-NEWS1 I spoke of an emag which will be released by Black Maiden. Well,the project has become reality, and Crescent such is the name of the mag will be released in a not so distant future.
Crescent will be a scene mag. Booah, another silly emag you will say. No. Crescent is not going to be just another mag. Let me tell you about it.
First off, Crescent originates in Europe, and will therefore contain european scene information as well as US news, which is a point that most emags lack. While compiling our news-file we make sure to include really international information.
Besides the more or less usual stuff, like vC interviews which will be cool though, we offer some neat surprises.
No! Senior doesnt mean
Im an old cripple! BkC In terms of content, Crescent will surely be an example to follow. The number of contributorsgarantuees an acceptable number and above all a variety of articles.
We hope to figure as good example in terms of originality and have put a greatdeal of work into the emag, to make it stand out of the mass.
Well, this is it for this news-file. It have been 2 hard months this time, but Ithink that the pack is more than ok :. I dont know what to say further...Well, you can catch some members on IRC, notably in ansi and bm, or downloadour packs on wuarchie. Btw, if someone could offer us a permanent ftp site, wewould be very grateful like some freebies or the like.
Oh yes, I almost forgot to mention, if you feel like writing something forCrescent, dont hesitate to contact us! Were always looking for some talentedwriters.
