Love the idea of using cut-ups in asemic writing.  I'll have to try it.  The piece by  Juan Lopez de Ael below is great!  Also, I like the one by Ruud Janssen below as well.

I received an excellent cut-up piece from Juan Lopez de Ael (Spain). Especially in light of some of the Jim Leftwich commentary recently, I believe it is safe to say asemic writers/artists are using cut-ups to create asemic symbols. I think Juan Lopez de Ael's work can definitely be viewed from an asemic perspective.

I absolutely love the work below by Jim Leftwich and Moan Lisa's "Asemic Tree" is wonderful.  Inspiring art at its best!

Thx, Moan. I think that is a great piece. Already left you a message about it.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on July 6, 2015 at 11:16pm

Here is "Asemic Tree" by Moan Lisa (thx to Moan for the scan). I've always talked about children doing asemic writing naturally, and Moan really captures that. Beyond all the complex theory, asemics are - at root - very simple.
