In Focus: Pix of Subspace       
                                                                          
      Interrogatory Performed by Kaosmaster of Darkage         
                                                                          
Your complete name ?                                                   
                                                                          
- My full name is Espen Terjesen, more known as Pix/Subspace within the scene.
                                                                 
Previous groups you were involved ?                                   
                                                                         
-  The  first  group  I joined was IRIS.  Mj, who was the norwegian organizer,
lives half an hour from me (with car that is ;), so we met on occasion.  After
a  local  computerparty,  I  tried my luck, and contacted him for joining.  He
wanted  me in; my first step into the scene.  After some time I wanted to join
an other group, ATS (now DNF), but this was againt IRIS' policy.  This made me
leave  IRIS.   Sadly, things went wrong with ATS, and it split up.  The people
left  in ATS founded DNF which I joined not long after.  Things went wrong (of
course  ;) in DNF too, some trouble appeared with me and one of the coders.  I
left  them,  and for a while I was without a group.  I almost ended up in SSP,
but  Visitor, the organizer of Subspace, made me join Subspace, something I've
never  regretted.   I  was  in  Digital Corruption for a period too, but left.
Well, that's all there is to it...  :)
                                                           
Your first scene debut ( production ) , and reactions by the scene ?
                                                                 
- My first picture that was used in a scene production must be the cute little
dinobaby  pic  used in the first DNF demo.  I never got to release anything of
interest  in  IRIS,  although I made the first 5 intropics for the mag Miracle
(one  issue  released  ;).   The reactions by the scene were positive, but far
from  the  reactions  I  get these days.  It's really nice to hear that people
actually like my work...  hehe...                                     
                                                                          
Have you ever made profit by your scenic abilities?                   
                                                                          
-  No,  I've  never  earned a penny on my graphics.  Most sceners tend to join
game  companies.   This  is  not  the case with me.  I guess I'll end up doing
design  or  similar,  but  I'm  not  interested  in making graphics for gaming
platforms.                                                                
                                                                 
The most embarassing time into the scene?                       
                                                                          
-  Embarassing,  let's  see.   Hmff...   damn,  can't  recall  any  particular
episodes...  sorry...                                                  
                                                                  
The production that changed your scene life?                       
                                                                          
-  Well, not that easy to come up with a specific one, but I guess my intropic
for  X-Files  made  me  more known that I was.  Else, intropics and design for
mags...                                                                     
                                                                  
There is somebody (scener) that you will never like to meet? and why?
                                                                          
-  Hm,  no,  sorry,  there's nobody I don't want to meet.  Quite the contrary,
theres  a  lot  of  sceners  I'd like to meet!  ;) Maybe we'll meet at TP this
year?  ;)                                                                   
                                                                          
What does your family think about your career?                       
                                                                           
-  I  don't think they quite understand what I'm doing, except my sister.  She
ever  read  some articles concerning my TG'97 pic.  The rest of my family have
seen my works, but I guess they don't understand the work behind.  Most people
thinks  it's  easier  to  make  good  looking  artwork with a computer than by
hand...  well, that's partly true, but not completely ;)                    
                                                                 
Have you ever been arrested by police?                                
                                                                          
-  No,  and  never  will.  I'm not that kind of character.  I'm not violent at
all, nor criminal.                                                           
                                                                         
Your worst production?                                              
                                                                          
- Must be some of my earlier works, before I became a real scener.  Those pics
sucked!  :) Luckily nobody have them today..  hehe...                         
                                                                          
Which production you have liked to make ?                   
                                                                          
-  I  haven't been involved in so many projects, but the one I liked the best,
must  be  Xenophobia, which contains one of my best works; Bullock Goes Cyber,
which also was my contribution at TP last year.                         
                                                                   
Which is the worst product you have ever seen in this last 2 years?
                                                                          
-  Probably  the  article about Louie being a scanner!  I don't know him well,
but  I  can say that I person working at Team17 must have some drawing skills.
Besides  this,  my  friend  Orome/Talent, has showed me what's possible with a
painter program.  Silly article indeed.                         
                                                                 
What you criticize about your group ?                       
                                                                          
-  Well,  it  seems like nobody have a clue about what's going on in Subspace.
One  can  ask  the coder what we're going to make for TP...  "Dunno, don't ask
me!"...  hehe, well, when we get working we can make some stunning work.  It's
just a question about wanting and having the enthusiasm.  Else, the group is a
real  friendly  and  not  too serious group, with the potential of making nice
productions.                                                               
                                                                 
Your first sexual experience?                                  
                                                                          
-  Well,  isn't that private?  ;) Hehe...  well, I'm not that good with girls.
It's  not  like they hate me or anything, it's just that they don't look at me
as  more  than  a  good friend.  Hopefully I'll meet the right one sometime ;)
(someone who thinks of me more than a friend ) yeah...  !          
                                                                 
The most difficult period in your scene career?                        
                                                                          
- The start ofcourse...  nobody knew who you were, and you're work sucked.
                                                                 
What do you like to do while not scening?
                                                                          
-  Well, I like to be with friends, listen to music, read books and comics.  I
also like to go out, although I don't drink.  I'm not like those crazy swedish
sceners for instance!  ;D                                                  
                                                               
Which are your favouvorite hobbies?                       
                                                                          
-  I  like  to draw, by hand too, and I'm really hooked on comics.  Especially
ones  as Sandman, Hellblazer and Preacher.  I also love music, mainly good old
music  like  The  Doors, Led Zeppelin and The pixies, but of course also newer
music  (Cake, Radiohead, Motorpsycho, REM and more )...  Except this I like to
relax in front of the TV after a hard school day ;))                        
                                                                 
How is the most bastard you have ever encountered in the scene business?
                                                                          
-  Hm,  nobody that I can come up with just like that, but there's one kind of
character  I don't like, and that's the eLiTE dudes.  Some are really ignorant
and  puffed-up.   Hm, and certainly the people who criticize graphicians work,
when they're musicians, coders and whatever.                         
                                                                 
Which is your most preferedd vicious ?                         
                                                                          
- I'm not vicious at all! ;D                                           
                                                                              
There is any VIS of the past that you really do not support?
                                                                          
- None that I can come up with.                         
                                                                
What you would change of your career?                       
                                                                          
- Nothing actually, I've been rather lucky...  less than 2 years in the scene,
and now I'm getting known.  That's more than I expected.
