Another great pack, folks. Big congrats to everyone who took part, and a special thanks to quantum-x for helping do the layout for the interview and the tutorial. I love this group :)

December, 2001 iCE Pack
1. We get to start the new year off with a joyful announcement. We'd love to welcome DJ MonkeyBoy to iCE! Despite the name, he's really a cool guy and we're going to enjoy bringing his art to you. We had to tell him no on the photo-mosiacs from his recent trip to Dover, Delaware, but his other stuff, well, aside from his award-winning "Most Filtered 2001" pic and his "Lens Flare Olympics" pics, are all really impressive. (See, it pays to join iCE on months where we accept more than one person. That way you only get 1/N of the made-up abuse, rather than all of it)
2. Three new quilts coming your way this month! Yeah, those crazy awesome members of tiles.ice.org are cranking them out. This month is an untitled quilt filled with cuddly computers and high powered critters. We have also completed our large tribute quilt to the great M.C. Escher. Finally, we have our fantastic "Train Ride" quilt digitally remastered into a cool flash form. Once again we prove that collaborative artwork kicks more ass than empyrean kicks mad phat beats.
3. Bit of an announcement this month... it seems as though Gecko wants everyone to know that she thinks cabbage is sexy. And she shares some warm fuzzies with you.
4. Be sure to check out our tutorial by Mongi this month. It's a fantastic step-by-step on how to draw a portrait (much like last month's, but until you guys do it right we'll just have to keep trying to teach it :). Thanks Mongi, you get a gold star sticker on your report.
5. Also this month, see our interview with Tetanus. Tim is a really interesting artist, and he has some things to say. So go check it out.
6. Be sure to check out our flash animations this month, from DJ MonkeyBoy and our Train Ride quilt. DJ MonkeyBoy has given us a great vector pack for everyone to share and enjoy - you're free to take his vector art and do whatever you want with it.
7. Apologies for the few extra days to get the pack out. We Staffers were a enjoying our New Years a bit too much, and then it took an extra couple of days to get the flash stuff all finished up. You have our apologies!
8. That's all - enjoy the pack! Seeya next month!
9. Congratulations to McFly for winning our first ever contest at ice.org! Look forward to more contests in the near future with more prizes than Monty Hall would know what to do with.
Wishing you a disease-free new year,
Slothy and Root88

Great pack
This pack..
has such a wide breadth of talents that shine through! So many different styles and subject areas explored. These monthly "packs" have so much more substance than anything else being put out these days.
Kudos to all, and looking forward to watching you folks outdo yourselves next month.

i agree, quite the nice pack this month :)
yeah..
this group is such a accumulation of creativity that its a honor to be a part of. :)
...
having planed on writing a little something about the pack. Then i saw the rules concerning the msg board:
- no flaming
- no insulting people or art
- and no trolling
therefore i really have nothing to say.

Re: ...
Nice art, no ansi.. but some nice detailing none the less.
Re: Re: ...
Welcome back DD! There is going to be some ansi in the pack next month. We could always use some more of your work around here though.

acid 94
that's a good release indeed
but I thought Acid pack 94 was better..
They dont release monthly so its normal I guess.

Re: acid 94
heh, whoah. Aside from acid.org not even working with mozilla or galeon, I managed to find news.htm and view the source of it. It lists acid-92 as the most recent pack, and links to ftp.cdrom.com to get it. cdrom.com doesn't even host art packs anymore. Nice web site, ACiD!
Just because I joined ice in 1993 and started right in the middle of the bitter, bitter war with ACiD, I just need to point out something I take some pride in. iCE was formed after ACiD was, and this was our 113th pack, since we have never missed a month since we started releasing packs in August of 1992.
Show me where I can view acid-94. I'm in shock that acid came out with a new pack :)

Re: Re: acid 94
I really respect Ice for that and I'm really glad it's not going to die anytime soon. Congrats you guyz. Here's the link for Acid 94 I was talking about.

Re: Re: Re: acid 94
granted I'm not familiar with "Jack the Ripper", but I just don't get why he combined Tin's pic with Ian's and then threw a bunch of crap about Toys R Us suing. I guess it's probably HILARIOUS and I'm not in on the joke :)
Gogglegirl's pic is really cool though.

Re: Re: Re: Re: acid 94
Jack the Ripper has been releasing along with The Project. ICE has always been inspiring her. I recall Jack ripping quite a fiew artists from iCe. I know lots of people dont agree but ripping is an art.
I think that Jack the Ripper is the best rip artist this scene ever had.
("rip" not the obsolete vector graphic file format ;)
It shows that ACiD is a group that is really mind open (to tell you the truth, I never thought it was before they accepted Jack).

Re: Re: Re: acid 94
I think the ACiD pack is pretty weak...
When I started, I tought ACiD was the coolest ansi-group out there, with iCE as a strong second... When things changed to VGA tho, ACiD just lost it's glory...

GIRAFFE IN A HOT PINK SWEATER
I have fallen in love with this work. I absolutely love giraffes, first of all, and the way you have captured the eyes, and with such discriminating taste in sweaters. I think the giraffe is the most unique animal there is, and this is such a wonderful concept of the way they are. They are the eyes of the desert, here with a human touch.
Thank you for sharing your work,
Keep the great ideas coming.
