Comment by De Villo Sloan on August 8, 2012 at 1:28am: On Google, Bruno Neiva posted a link to the journal Otoliths that has some fantastic work by Matt Stolte, including a tribute to David Baptiste-Chirot. (Notice how when you start to move outside mail-art, suddenly it looks more like a "Man's World" all of a sudden? But these are great guys!). Matt's an IUOMA member, as is David.

I'm not much into journals with editors, gatekeeper's, people deciding what's good and what isn't - but Otoliths does carry vispo and asemics and seems fairly open.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on August 8, 2012 at 1:19am: Please note Kerri Pullo's asemic paper clips are now the official group logo. I think they are much more appropriate than that moldy stuff from Project 26. As ever, thank you Kerri.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on August 8, 2012 at 1:08am: We sure could use a collaborative project like the Asemics 16 books again. I'm trying to wrap up a bunch of other projects. I don't know how everyone manages to do it. I think I'll eventually propose some other grand project, as I keep coming back to asemics.

As for the present - I haven't seen a lot of collaborative asemic works, and that would be interesting. I think John Bennett, Matt Stolte, and "Jesus Jim" Leftwich have done some fantastic collabs lately.

Don't forget to post here if there are any collabs!

Comment by Kerri Pullo on August 8, 2012 at 12:38am: We sure could Guido!!!....the magic of mail!

Comment by Guido Vermeulen on August 7, 2012 at 11:37pm: Maybe Kerri and I should do some work together ; thru the mail everything is possible!

Comment by Guido Vermeulen on August 7, 2012 at 11:34pm: There is no battle between Kerri and me, the idea alone! (yaks).

There is beauty and harmony and tension leading to new harmonies and so on.

Kerri, the piece in reds with the face is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And better than anything I have done but that’s my appreciation of course!

Comment by Kerri Pullo on August 7, 2012 at 10:11pm: Thanks DVS! I'm just overflowing with asemics right now. I do so hope it lasts. :) If there is a battle of the titans...Guido wins hands down. Guido is a master of beauty.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on August 7, 2012 at 8:55pm: Is this Battle of the Titans?

Guido posts something Incredible. Kerri something more incredible... I know it's not a competition really. I am partial to that kind based in calligraphy - just a beautiful one, Kerri.

Comment by Neil Gordon on August 7, 2012 at 7:34pm: Beautiful work Kerri!! Golden, quited and Eco-semic!

Guido- Night Poem is a beautiful series!
