Comment by Bradford on August 25, 2020 at 11:35pm: Soon, you'll render us a new Voynich Manuscript, Carien.

Comment by Carien van Hest on August 25, 2020 at 10:07pm: Two more pages from my asemic journal, July 24th was the second day of the journal

The other pages (below) were a couple of weeks later, and getting more and more the hang of it.

The less I think while writing, the easier it is.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on August 25, 2020 at 12:59am: Welcome to the group Ms. Strange & Carien van Hest.

Carien, thanks for the asemic journal share. I hope we see more. Also thank you for the m-a. More on that soon.

No Moon Lisa? Oh well

Comment by Carien van Hest on August 24, 2020 at 5:09pm: As an experiment I keep an asemic journal. Here is one page. It is interesting to practice this kind of writing.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on August 7, 2020 at 2:16am: I posted a series of snail mail collabs done by visual poet Andrew Brenza (New Jersey, USA) & me at Asemic Front 2. I point these out because I consider them "concrete asemic" - this is sort of "dueling typewriters." I'd love to do more of these if anyone uses typewriters.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on August 6, 2020 at 2:27am: Those who were here for the glory days (may there be many ahead) of IUOMA-Ning & Cheryl Penn's book projects in our humble asemic group will recall our great friend Lisa Iversen (Indiana, USA).

Like many asemic & Trashpo legends, Lisa Iversen is mostly "retired" from mail art after a decade of intensity (have you learned m-a is hard work yet?). But sometimes she emerges for a stroll. And she sent a textile piece to Asemic Front!

Thank you Lisa Iversen (aka Lisa Lisa, aka Skybridge Studios)

Comment by De Villo Sloan on August 6, 2020 at 1:10am: Two new collabs by group member John M. Bennett (Ohio, USA) & me (De Villo Sloan) for Asemic Front 2. Thx, JMB!

Comment by De Villo Sloan on August 4, 2020 at 12:40am: Wow, received FAB asemics from group member Penny Reinecke in Western Australia. The postcard is shared here at IUOMA-Ning and on Asemic Front 2. Thank you, Penny!
