Matthew Stolte in Wisconsin, USA sent me this piece titled "This is Visual Poetry." I won't quibble with that. I wanted to post it here because there are some beautiful little symbols here that could be easily developed into asemic writing. Great example of work by an active visual poet:

plus if you are afraid it's a fake, the 3D glasses alone are worth at least $1.14

dk - do what so many other ebay sellers do - provide a fancy certificate of authenticity. they're fairly meaningless but people are reassured by them

hmmm. You make a good point Bifidus. I guess there's an element of risk involved.

Diane, I saw your ebay listing--how do I know it's real?

"E"'s book #2 was in my POBox today. It is a fantastic plus I love it that all of the books have been so different.  Thank you "E"

Please view my listing. As much as I hate to part with this, I must do what I must do to feed my family.

I received chapters from E and Nadine. Thank You!! They are fascinating to look at.

Mine are printed, envelopes addressed, hope to post them next week. Like superhero, I'm not happy about the quality. I tweaked settings in the original scan but the printer wouldn't cooperate. I would love to know what kind of printers/paper E & Nadine used. They have two completely different qualities. Nadine's is sharp while E's feel like handmade paper. Are ya'll up for sharing?

i received from E, diane, lisa, and someone in whoever it was from australia??

 

i started printing mine out and had some real issues with quality.

i've gone through a bunch of different papers and nothing prints like i like it.

i'm sending them anyways since i don't have the money to get this to perfection, but i'm not really quite happy with the overall results. i wish there were photo quality double-sided paper, but i've looked and looked for something decent and nothing i've found works! the last option i can think of it getting regular photo paper and scotch-taping it shut so it has two pages flat against each other. but i'm just going with the card stock instead.

 

i'll think about printing out 4x6" prints for everyone, but money is really tight right now, so if you do get prints i hope you feel very special! ;-D

 

in other news, i've finally given up on my digital asemic writing series.

i'm onto bigger and better things:

 

zombiesemics. ;-D
