Superhero has "a position" on asemic writing?  I've got to see it and will search around for it.

It is slightly scary to take a first step, DVS, but not in the usual sense.  I mean, asemic writing was showing up at times in my art long ago, so this first piece wasn't like jumping off a cliff.  But never having really focused on it, I'm already seeing that because I love it I will probably do it a lot, and so it's already evolving somewhat even in these early days.  For you to have the very first of it is humbling and yes, a little scary (though not as scary as zombies).  You know, maybe the B&W ones done later in the night are more effective or something, I have no idea, so that's the scary part.  But not a big deal.  Of course, writing this much about it in this comment puts the lie to any bravery trying to show itself here!  Slap. Onward ...

Yes, Sharon Silverman's black & white project is so cool! I'm a fan already. 

 

Nancy Scott Bell - I'm looking forward to seeing how you are approaching this. I just hope everyone can get past thinking asemic writing is some scary thing to approach. A few basic concepts is all, and even then, kids do it with crayons everyday without even concepts.

 

Superhero does have a very interesting position on asemic writing. He posted it somewhere around here. I've certainly thought about what he wrote a great deal.

DVS, friendly warning:  I am sending you my first conscious asemic piece today, started a few days ago and finished last night.

Last night I also had a blast completing some black and white works started a couple of years ago.  They've been searching for completion and a purpose, and Sharon Silverman's Black & White Project is the perfect destination, I hope.  They were completed with ... asemic writing.

Superhero, your asemic history is rather spotty, I see, but you sound hungry for it, so you too will receive a piece.  It doesn't include zombies (sorry -- guess they worry me too much, they are all over my town), but it does include a "spirit," not the religious kind but a kind I end up doing often, which is foggy and represents every individual spirit in our realm, including spirits involved in trees and also non-living objects that I consider creatures nevertheless.  Ok?

Thank you for your adoration of me and my projects, Victoria. I am pleased you are involved. I like to occasionally acknowledge all the "little people" who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make all this possible.

SH, the posts are appreciated. You're finding some interesting stuff. And you do have to manage your vast network of projects. One of them was turning into a regular crack house.
