Is it possible that keys create asemics?

INDIGNADOS UNITE !!!

Kerri and I agreed to make a second book! Some people on Fb even wanted an edition of the first one, well, I dismiss that idea, I think this is unique and has to remain unique. Also Kerri and I agreed on forwarding the book to a 3d party as a gift. I do  not revail the name here in order to not spoil the fun.

I am in crazy mood this March and produce one artist book after the other.

This is a page from CLOSER TO THE LIGHT, aha rabbit Nero becomes asemics, booklet as present to Lady Valeria who recently returned from Brasil to Belgium to be united again with husband Matias who is from Portugal. The whole shabang is to get legal papers, I frankly am and remain disgusted how this world is divided into countries and continents who are becoming fortresses and jails against «aliens». Or to repeat the slogan of the Spanish republicans: NO PASARAN (to all authorities on this beautiful planet, it is ours! OCCUPY everything and I am NOT sorry about this outburst...)

Not to be outdone by Guido (no! I tell myself, not a competition!) I submit another installment in the GASemics Series that I am working on with, yes, Kerri Pullo. This is "The Tragedy of Underground Asemic Gas Leaks." Kerri is the creator of Asemic Mom and the Amazing Asemic Baby:

Right Chris - I saw this asemic script of yours posted or discussed on a blog and was really impressed. Yes, heck, share your tests with us!

Here is a link to Michael Jacobson's call for (correction) for asemic handwriting for his anthology. Looks like a serious endeavour and I say let them see asemics are thriving in the network:

the guido/kerri book is a beaut!

Thanks DVS.

This is a new asemic script I'm developing for my next book in the Four Fools Series - the first two can be viewed here and are still on sale. I hope to get book three out later in the year and this new script will feature throughout.

The sample I just posted is not actually part of the book, but another test piece to check out a number of scaling and compositional issues in print. I thought I would try it out here and see what the reaction was. Once again, thanks!

@ Neil, if you think about, inkblots and the Rorschach are perfect for experimental asemics. People got into that during Asemics !6 too, Tremendous range here from near-classicism to "The Edge."

Thanks JMB.

I go offline a few hours and look at this! Christopher what a beauty! Preview new work anytime! I've seen other examples of your presswork, typography, asemics featured elsewhere - really fantastic work.

Do folks know Michael Jacobson (the postliterate blog) has put out a call for asemic calligraphy? He and Tim Gaze are putting an anthology together. I'll try to pull a posting together.

I'm not meaning to comment on every single thing, but, wow, gosh, holy - a Kerri Pullo & Guido Vermeulen collab - there you have the meeting of two more remarkable styles and it really works. Congrats! Can't enlarge those pages though. Hope Guido has 'em blogged somewhere I can find 'em.
