  Maybe it's early to count the checksum for 1998, but it's certain that it's
  much more fertile than the nervous 1997.. The idiots who yelled "scene's
  dead" at any given opportunity and spoiled morale got amputated and
  filtered.. Who stayed are the people who's interested, who feels the urge
  to create and who's mad enough to continue this strange life we all live..
  The crew is set, the force divided between us, all the mechanics checked
  and working as fine as ever, and we add our little part to the united
  madness called scene. We change the way of life, of thoughts and of all
  the space surrounding us, rebuilding it to fit us, and we help each other.
  More than twenty months we're with you..
  More than twenty months you're with us..
  More than twenty months we help each other to live..

  Oh, and for the crew changes:
  Welcome Darkhalo, you're a member now (surprised? =)
  And you, GreenDrug, can come in, too (guests don't get the level of respect
  members have, hehe). And Remission, get your greets.

  now let the participants speak.

  The comfort of finishing something is almost as great as the feeling of
  a great idea.  Thats what art is about, i guess, creating something you
  enjoy finishing as much as you can't wait to move on to something else.
  image notes: denizen logo... for a project of mine, you're welcome to
  contribute... When art is created by a person, it is all connected
  somewhere, in the mind of the artist, no art is alone in that way.
  I want artists to connect their works, write them via fiction, pair them
  with images, to make the images complete, citizens of a virtual world.
  denizens....
  kodak: joint with spro, note to ffh, 2 of the 3 photos in here are
  original, i got access to a scanner :)... made merely hours before
  the pack deadline... A mad rush :)

  A lot, huh.. I'm back home sweet home, with my loved people, in my home
  city.. All the last month I was revising my old diaries, sketches and
  memories. All this dark set has its roots buried deep in St. Petersbourg,
  in my loneliness and hatred.. Judge..

  This work is dedicated to one of my favourite books - "Vacuum Flowers"
  by Michael Swanwick. It's one of the worlds best cyberpunk novels.
  Mail me at: greendrug@efnet.org.
  Greets to: Jekyll, mr_eh, jNa, atom, otium, Tier
  and guinea pigs all over the world!

  Not much to say, since I've been mainly working as a shepherd this time,
  not as an artist. Still you can enjoy the dragon 20, and get the full size
  version if you ask me real hard :) greets to you, personally, as always.

  I have no words.. I'm only proud of this great work we did.
  I burn. I rise. I live. I fly. I believe in baka.
  And I do my best.

  My good friends and nice people, u know, while drawing all these
  poor pictures, I have thought only about you:

  ter, i_l, shere, stroger..
  bonse, atom, liceboy..
  mcfly, corvin, fractallerz..
  tequila jazz, jazzrabbit..
  kompo, greendrug, heavenz byte..
  jetty, yoyo, diti, svetik[?]..
  kati, noob and other #hrg inhabitants..
  LOVE YA ALL!

          Wish you were here... >8O
