INTERVIEW WITH FISH OF LSD!
     ---------------------------

Done in February 1992.

El Loco/PRG:
HI  FISH!   Would you please introduce
yourself to our readers?

Fish/LSD:
Hi  everyone  out  there!   My name is
Andy, my handle is FISH.  I do GFX for
a UK group called LSD.

El Loco/PRG:
Could  you tell us for how long you've
been in LSD?

Fish/LSD:
I've  not  been  in  LSD  for  long, I
joined  them last September, so that's
about  6  or  7 month, I'm not good at
counting backwards.

El Loco/PRG:
Could you tell us your computer-story,
and which equipment you are using?

Fish/LSD:
I  started  my  own  lame group called
"The  Web"  a  few  years  ago, then I
joined   a  group  called  HACL,  HACL
became  "The Special Brothers UK" then
a great leap to LSD.

My  equipment, I have 2 Amiga 500 K1.3
a 1meg and a 2meg.  2 1084SD monitors,
a  STAR  LC24-200  colour  printer,  a
VORTEX   2000  40meg  Hardrive  and  a
couple  of  external  drives.  (Spoilt
bastard aren't I!)

 El Loco/PRG:
Is  there  any competition between the
members  in  LSD?   (E.g which gfx and
music will be used for your prods.)

Fish/LSD:
Competition    isn't    hard   between
members,  LSD  works on quality, so if
you  produce  good  work  then it gets
used, but sometimes it's not easy when
you're    competing   with   Watchmans
standards.

El Loco/PRG:
Please    mention    your    favourite
artists,musicians,coders,magazines and
demos.

Fish/LSD:
There  is  so  much  talent  out there
that's   it's   hard  to  pin-point  a
favourite,   so  here's  some  of  the
talent I prefer:

Coder:    Hornet/Alcatraz
          Dan/Anarchy
GFX:      Watchman/LSD
          Mithrandir and Airbrush/Acme
          Uno/Scoopex
Music:    Nuke/Anarchy
          4-Mat
          Jesper Kyd/?? (Silents)
Demo:     Odyssey/Alcatraz
          Hardwired/Crionics & Silents
Diskmag:  Grapevine of course
          Zine and I.C.E are not bad.
          HO! I can't forget 
          Free'n'Easy!

El Loco/PRG:
What  is your favourite 'real' music??
(I  know  Marillion  will be mentioned
 for sure!)

Fish/LSD:
What   do   you   mean   REAL   music?
Marillion  is  REAL  music!   But I do
like Allan Parsons, Pink Floyd, Jethro
Tull, Chris de Burgh, and belive it or
not,   I   like   Rossini   and   Borf
(Classical)  (Not  bad  Fishie!  Check
out   Johann   Pachebels   'Canon   in
D-moll'!  ed.)

El Loco/PRG:
How  many  hours a day to you spend in
front of your Amiga?

Fish/LSD:
Too  much!   Normally about 4 hours in
the afternoon and about 7 hours in the
evening.   If  I  have  a airbrushing-
project  then  sometime  I  might  not
touch   the   computer  from  week  to
another

El Loco/PRG:
Do you play games? And if,which games?

Fish/LSD:
I don't play many games, a game has to
be  good before I waste my time on it.
The  only games I've been are Kick off
1&2, Millenium 2.2, Deutros, Stunt Car
Racer, Indy 500, Formula 1, Falcon and
F29.

El Loco/PRG:
Have you visited many parties?

Fish/LSD:
I  went  to  the  Digital  party  last
October  and  I'm  due  to  go  to the
Anarchy   party  this  April.   That's
 about all the Parties I've been to.  I
would  like  to  go  to a Party on the
continent but curcumstances forbid me.

El Loco/PRG:
Fish   is  an  excellent  air-brushing
artist,  and  Fish,  could you tell us
the  major  differences  between  air-
brushing and amiga-gfx??

Fish/LSD:
I   have  been  air-brushing  for  far
longer  than  computer  GFX so I would
say  that  airbrushing  is far easier.
There are also disadvantages with air-
brushing    such   as,   I've   nearly
completed a picture and I make a great
mistake  that  will  not cover up, the
picture,  time and money has just gone
to  waste.  On DeLuxePaint 4, you know
yourself  that if you make a mess, you
can  re-do  it over and over again.  I
did use some of the same techniques on
DPaint 4 but I was limited on how much
I could do, what I have found was that
I could use some of the techniques use
on DPaint 4 on my airbrush work.  When
I  did  logos on card I was limited to
one  style  of  font, when I saw Amiga
logos   I  put  those  ideas  into  my
airbrushing.

El Loco/PRG:
You live in Barnsley/England, do there
live more LSD members in your area?

Fish/LSD:
There's  no  other members of LSD that
lives  in  Barnsley.  Parasite (Pazza)
our   manager  lives  in  Gainsborough
which  is  one  hours  drive  from  my
house.  I use to travel through to his
 house  twice a week, but at the moment
while  I'm  ill  I've  not  been for a
while.   I'm  in  a  wheelchair  and I
thought  it might have posed a problem
but  it didn't bother the lads.  Other
members  live  all over UK, we meet up
at  parties  and contact each other by
mail and phone.

El Loco/PRG:
What is your favourite food and drink?

Fish/LSD:
Pizza,   pizza,   pizza   and   pizza,
sometimes  I  might have a pizza for a
change.   I don't drink alcohol but if
there  were to drink in a pub it would
be  bitter  shandy, favourite drink at
home  is  coffee.  (You've right mate!
Pizza is simply the best!  ed.El Loco)

El Loco/PRG:
What is your view on drugs?

Fish/LSD:
I  don't  like  any  hard  drugs but I
suppose  a smoke on the old weed isn't
bad.

El Loco/PRG:
Allright  Fish, here is some space for
you to write whatever you want:

Fish/LSD:
