Union Compedium (06/1994)   by Union

┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ UNION COMPENDIUM 06-94 │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Alright, it's a bit late, but then again, it's what's inside that counts. Back again is the every prominent Union Productions with yet another exquisite collection of fine arts. The members of Union have been working outrageously hard to put together the June compendium. It is amazing to me, how far Union has been brought since the early days of the two base groups, Void and Image. I must take a moment to congratulate the founding Senior members as well as the new additions to the organizing ranks. Union must begin by appologizing for the inconveniences created over the last month of production. The Senior members and other organizing staff were at somewhat of a loss for being able to contact other members and sites. However, we *will* contact all those that we have yet to reach as soon as we can. It is this example of unreliablility that Union strives to iron out of its group. Again, to all those we have inconveni- enced, please accept our apologies. Over the last month, the hard working Ansi department has been at it again recruiting extremely talented artists from across the US and Canada. Union welcomes Sole Assassin who left iDP to join the ranks of Union. As well, Krypton becomes a member of Union, imported in from the now extinct Department Nine. Elsewhere, Eclipse from Cancer teams up with Union as an excellent RIP artist. Eclipse will be working in both camps by releasing alternately with each group. Perhaps in the future, Union will get to see more of Eclipse as a full-time member. Union's musical crew grows one more this month. Florescent Darkness, formerly of Empire, steps up beside Future Assassin and Satanic Goldfish in the looney world of music composers. Yes, it seems as if Union is still on the trail of unclaimed Empire artists. There were a few additions and, unfortunately, deletions to the site list. Check out the site list as well as the new and improved UniNet nodelist (Union's own dedicated art network). Union has finally decided to open up a department for those dedicated people out there that so many groups rely on but give little thanks to. Union announces the opening of a courier division. As most groups know, there comes a time when the members themselves just can't seem to pull through every month in getting their files to the supporting sites. With this, Union would like to extend an invitation to all reliable and experienced couriers to join in the Union team. Union is in particularly looking for Canadian couriers to even up the ranks. To all those that are intersted and feel that they fit the bill, don hesitate to fill out the application enclosed and upload it promptly to Flatlined Reality. One word more word from our network coordinator, all sites that have recently joined in to support Union, will have to have the UniNet setup by June 20, 1994. This net is, however, entirely optional for member boards. But, for those sites who are interested in joining Union, this is one of the major requirements to being a site and through which to show your support. On a more cheery note, Union wished to congratulate Nailz and Neurotic for finally hitting puberty as they both age another year in the final twenty-four hours of compiling the pack. Happy Birthday guys! And one final note, although the new and improved UniView still has some bugs to be ironed out, I'd like to heartily thank Apex and especially Pennywise for his hard dedicated effort put into the viewer. As well, the "homey" in the Ansi interface may look familiar to you, it is Dark Image's from his old Dead Homey's PCBoard Menu. Sorry you didn't get direct credits in the picture Dark Image, it seems to have been removed from beside his leg, hence these credits. It is in no way a character created by Nailz and is entirely Dark Image's, formerly of Union. However, the rest of the Ansi interface is a creation of Nailz. I think that about sums up the works and business of Union over the last month. We hope you enjoy the pack, and if you like what you see, and/or are interested in joining the group as a member or a supporting site, do not hesititate to contact the group on a major Headquarter board. As a final word to all art groups out there, "Remember, we are here to express through pictures the artistic endeavours of the extremely skilled for which words can not rightly justify."
