Interview with Stratos of Complex by Red Devil of Dual Crew RD OK M8, could you introduce yourself to the drooling public; you know Age, Sex, Hobbies, Schhol, Work etc St Age: 16 Something... Sex: Male Hobbies: Anything wierd School: Going down, down, down..... Work: Something AWFUL, I guess... RD I see. Tell me a little bit about your history in the Amiga Scene. What was your first group and how did you arrive in Complex? St My first group was Xenon Projects Inc.(Cool name!)- That was in Summer 1990. Half a year after that we formed Parallax (Winter 1991). Then we formed Decept and in Autumn 91, Mic Dair asked me to join Complex. RD How did you learn to do GFX? At School, drawing and painting, or did you just pick up Dpaint and start from there? St I started in kindergarden, when I became interested in drawing along walls! RD He he..whats your opinion of the Finnish Scene at the moment? Do you think it is the best in the world, as many people think? St I think that it is the laziest scene in the whole world! (but I'm not quite sure about the current situation in Uganda?) RD OK then, lazy it may be, but can you name someone that you repect highly in the Finnish scene? And what about the whole world? Who do repect there? And Why? St Dont Ask me hard Questions! RD Gor Blimey...such an evasive answer to a marvellous question! Never mind..Do you do GFX purely for the fun of it, to be the best in the world, or do you do some commercial work? St He he he....do you mean that I'm the best in the world? Thanx pal!! (he he- my Finnish sense of humour, sorry) RD You also write music. Which do you prefer, GFX or protrackering? St BOTH make me sick!! RD Outside of the Amiga scene, who influences your graphics? Do you draw inspiration and ideas directly from them or do you just have a similar style to anyone or anything? St No. I only use my brains (Are they??) I'm not a fucking ripper! RD (QUESTION BORROWED FROM MELLOCH/COMA) Is there something Commodore should have done better for the graphician? St Yep, wanna more planes (c-registers), but the machine is overall real good! RD OK then, what your dream Amigas specifications be? And how much would you be willing to pay for such a machine? St No such dreams RD Do you go to Amiga conferences? If so, which one was the best one you went to and why? Which was the most recent one you went to? St Errrhmmmm...There were too many of them, I cant remember at all (!!) RD Are there any last words you'de like to add? St Goodbye dear world... RD B4 we go, are there any particular people youde like to greet, say hello to or just be nice to? St Of Course, 'Alistawat terkut' to: Bruno, Dweezil, Urgu, Golem, Hitchy, Hoover (Plankton), Ball/Cannon, almost all in Parallax and ALL in Complex. Of course to you too Rob. RD Bye then...All the best St Adios! Interview by Red Devil / Dual Crew @@
