spear THE USED NEWS - The Used Coalition November 1999 Who What When Where - Spear s word So high welcome to the first edition of the used news Let me begin with explaining the birth of used After the sixth Fokus Fonting pack everyone gave up at once for some reason Fluor seemed to be quite un-interested at this point Crimson Skye had computer problems as did Avenging Angel Mr Wrong had to leave for a month for some work related issues so the group as a whole being already weak was k-nocked over when the one of two founders Knocturnal quit the group to concentrate more on his ascii At this point Zippy and myself were the only ones seeming to care When Mr Wrong came back he came back to a non-existant group I figured the only thing that would make sense would be to form a new group with a new tweak to it I proposed this idea to Mr Wrong and he agreed naturally Zippy was interested After several days of names (Im sure alot of you have gone through with this) we agreed on USED Its slightly pessimistic kinda punk and totally us So the Used Coalition was born This group accepts applications of the PICTURE FONT and ASCII mediums Applicants are encouraged to send 3-5 pieces of art in a zip to one of the staff members listed in the Member Listing Please enjoy the ansi funk that is USED - SPEAR(used) - Mr Wrong s word This will probably be the only serious newsletter you ll read in a Used pack There s not much to say since you all know what kind of group Fokus was and that Used is based on the same spirit The difference is we re no longer a font only group (anyway i heard some people are taking care of that) We formed The Used Coalition to have complete freedom of movement we didn t want people telling us what to draw how to draw or having our stuff quality controlled and we didn t want to be anonymous drawers in some group We draw we release and we don t really care about the rest That s pretty much it Stay tuned next month for something bigger and better - The Used Coalition November 1999 Who cares
