When I started making RIPs, I loved it from the very start.  I
love the versitility of the editors as compared to ANSI.  I enjoy 
creating art enough that I'd like to start a new RIP Artist's group
with The Far Side BBS as the home BBS.  It will be open to all those
who have a knack for making RIP art.  If you'd like to apply, please
send a few samples of your work to The Far Side BBS (616/894-5909), and 
make sure you upload them to the Sysop only, and leave a message to me
from the Main Menu telling me what you sent me (I can't always read 
the entire callers log files!)  I haven't come up with a name for the 
group yet, so if you have an idea, write me a message!  Eventually, as 
the group takes form and we begin creating some RIP files, we'll most 
likely need BBSes to serve as distributors and etc...  If you'd like to
be part of the distribution of the artwork, let me know in your message,
and I'll call your system eventually when we start distributing to give 
you all the information you need!  Thanks for reading this, and I 
hope to hear from you soon!
