Comment by Jason C. Motsch on September 1, 2015 at 6:17am: Not sure if this falls into asemic or vispo or both, being new to vispo but I think it falls into the asemic vein enough to post it here.

Comment by John M. Bennett on August 27, 2015 at 5:15pm: John M. Bennett & Jim Leftwich 2015

Comment by De Villo Sloan on August 27, 2015 at 5:02pm: Received an historic piece from/by Jim Leftwich: "Spirit Writing" (1997) (above). This is fairly early in terms of the contemporary asemic movement. Jim, however, is not very comfortable with the term "asemic." So we can think of it as vispo as well. Many will automatically consider it a classic example of asemic writing, regardless of what JL intended or what people might have though it was in 1997.

The piece was included in a large batch of collabs by Jim Leftwich-Evan Damerow that have asemic elements as well as vispo and Trashpo. Documented here:

Comment by De Villo Sloan on August 23, 2015 at 11:41pm: Group member Jason Motsch (Pennsylvania, USA) sent me a FAB asemic Tacky Little Pamphlet (TLP). Thx to our history of boekie projects & the presence of John M. Bennett, we have some bragging rights concerning the TLP. So many thanks to Jason!

Comment by De Villo Sloan on August 20, 2015 at 2:06pm: Many thanks to Chris Wells, Rebecca Guyver (for the FAB Meeah Williams piece), John M. Bennett, Grace Sanford and Jason Motsch.

And how could it be IUOMA without some SSP (Shameless Self-Promotion) from the group coordinator?

Volodymyr Bilyk (Ukraine) is guest editor this month at Halvard Johnson's Truck (blog/zine). He chose some vispo-asemic pieces of mine to post:

Volodymyr Bilyk is known for his visual-textual work and his Extreme Writing community. I think he is still accepting work for Truck. And Truck is a great place to see vispo, asemis, otherstream, etc.

John M. Bennett was a guest editor at Truck too.

Comment by chris wells on August 16, 2015 at 12:26am: Experiment with wax resist watercolor and collage--some wax for the asemic writing and collage for the semic.

Comment by Rebecca Guyver on August 6, 2015 at 9:32pm: Meeah Williams sent me some great asemics in her doodle envelope of goodies.http://thepostalleger.blogspot.co.uk/2015/08/doodling-in-colour-new...
