Comment by De Villo Sloan on December 5, 2014 at 6:03pm: I meant, I'm looking for asemic wrapping paper, not asemic wallpaper. We have lots of the wallpaper already.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on December 5, 2014 at 6:02pm: At one point in this group, we held sessions of the Martha Stuart School of Asemic Wallpaper. (The MS School threads are still there; DK's graduation speech is deeply moving.) People tried to create usable things such as asemic glasses, asemic goggles, asemic gas, asemic fashion and of course asemic wallpaper. For this holiday season, I am encouraging the use of asemic wrapping paper. You can be an asemic wrapper! Like Christo! Please post any asemic wallpaper designs you might have. I'd love to re-post them at M-L.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on December 5, 2014 at 2:10pm: Welcome Linda Faye French! Feel free to post any work you think appropriate, make statements, ask questions, observe. Thanks for joining.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on December 4, 2014 at 5:53pm: Received great asemic-vispo from Matt Stolte in Wisconsin. His Construction Sea blog is well-worth a visit for asemics, vispo & m-a. There's a link in my posting.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on December 2, 2014 at 2:44pm: Thx Terry, it's ironic that right now there is a debate in Michael Jacobson's Post-literate (asemic writing) group on FB about whether abstract art qualifies as asemics, such as Jackson Pollock to use one of many examples. It seems as if definitions are always being tested.

These pieces Volodymyr used are heavy on the vispo side. Definitely hybrid work. But I'm glad you like the Extreme Writing Community. A lot of interesting work turns up there.

Comment by Terry Owenby on December 2, 2014 at 2:14pm: De Villo, I really like the pieces Volodymyr used on his blog. I liked the first one (B&W) a lot. It spoke volumes to me. Then I saw the second one, and the color was amazing. I enjoyed all three but those first two pieces are favorites. Wonderful work!

Comment by De Villo Sloan on December 1, 2014 at 8:39pm: Volodymyr Bilyk (Ukraine) used three of my recent pieces on his Extreme Writing Community blog. They have asemic elements.

Volodymyr is an excellent visual poet. Send him your work, if you feel like you are ready to go public! EWC is a good venue. Volodymyr is active on FB.

Comment by Terry Owenby on November 25, 2014 at 6:40pm: John, I love the name of your new language, "Globbolalia". I'm waiting for it to download at this very moment and I look forward to seeing it.
