\3No Sense has through its existence specialized in one special job in the scene, namely that of graphicians. This time the projectile has reached the two drawing German friends, Gfx-Twins. Digital, Universal Soldiers (US), Essence and lately also Scoopex have had, and in two occasions has, the luck to work with these guys. Gfx-Twins of Essence and Scoopex have participated with their presence of mind as motives of many in a row of skilled artists to be interviewed in No Sense...
- You're not twins - though your name associates to that - not even brothers but very good friends that always paint together. What's the story behind the artists of Gfx-Twins?
\2- Well, we have certainly not enough time to do a flashback, so we try to sum it up. Everything began on a Commodore C64. We found out that we weren't good coders or musicians, so we tried to paint some things. We were both always good at art lessons at school, so we started to paint on the computer too. Having got an ECS-A500 machine, we discovered the many colours and were amazed. So we developed some own graphics and somehow we got a first scene mag. Since that time we always tried to improve skills and bought some poster mags. We stepped into many groups and after 3/4 year we managed to turn from normal 'lamers' to Essence members. We - that is Calvin and Artur - have been friends for more than eight years. We spent our time at the same schools and have exactly the same interests and thoughts. We spent nearly our whole youth together with uninteresting crap. So it's no wonder that we draw graphics together...or something! We can not explain this fabulous understanding, perhaps it's just because we are kind of mixture. Artur comes from Poland and Calvin is of English origin.
\3- You mentioned that you were very happy that I was going to interview you. Does it mean much for you Essence graphicans to get more and more famous?
\2- To be honest... yes! But not only as Essence members. As you know, we also teamed up with SCOOPEX! As you might know we've had nearly one year of absence from the scene. Before that time we were surely not unknown, but a real breakthrough was not possible. The reason for that were mostly our groups. We painted like hell, but our graphics was never released. Lack of good coders and productions was our fate. Now, after we've decided to reenter the scene we hope to achieve a little breakthrough and as you asked us to do an interview we were very glad that there is one guy who helps us to become more known again. But keep your feet on the ground Joakim, we think our upcoming graphics will do the rest!
\3- You have recently rejoined the scene, and have now also teamed up with the Germany-based Essence. But why did you first leave this beloved and wonderful scene?
\2- We don't know...by the way, this is a good question...no, just kiddin'! Artur (me) actually wanted to study some engineering stuff and Calvin had a really hard time at school. So we separated, although this thought never came to our minds... it just happened. We had no more time for the scene. There were more problems to be solved, e.g. with stupid girls. But now, after months of homesickness...
