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!
