    Love that piece by John and Jim.

  • Neil Gordon

    Wow! Looks like Asemic trees after a storm Jim and John!

  • Guido Vermeulen

    Continue with windows series; this time HOTEL OF TRANSFORMATION; see the project proposed by Mary Campbell.

  • Guido Vermeulen

    ECO ASEMICS, found object received 2day from Meg Founds

  • Guido Vermeulen

    STRANGE ASEMICS BEER CAP PARTY, done by inking a beer cap !!! See Amo Mao Huan for details and project I twisted a bit.

  • Lesley Magwood Fraser

    Great piece Guido - now you will have to drink more beer!

  • De Villo Sloan

    Wow, some great asemic pieces. Please keep them coming.

    This group looks to me now like a monumental ruin: the wreckage of Asemics 16 cast about everywhere; the Martha Stuart School of Asemic Wallpaper shuttered.

    Welcome new folks - you, ah, kinda missed the G(l)ory Days for which the group was founded in the first place, which probably makes you fortunate.

    We'll see if we can get an Asemic Revival or Restoration going. 

  • Guido Vermeulen

    THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS and BACK

    Painting in notebook , 3 for the price of one with 4th text page to explain the process

  • Nancy Bell Scott

    Far far out, Guido. (I like it.)

    DVS, this group changed my art/life for the better. Even a year ago the best glory days were going by, but bam, big impact. If there are new joiners, may they look and explore ! Bon voyage to all.

  • De Villo Sloan

    Guido has become a Lord of Asemics. Every day I look forward to seeing new GV work at IUOMA.

    NBS - I don't think Asemics has run its course. We just don't have a big project like we did then that formed a center. 

    The old threads are pretty good. DK's Commencement Address for the Martha Stuart School graduation has to be some sort of classic.

  • De Villo Sloan

    What do we want?

    ASEMIC WRITING!

    What did they give us?

    aNemic writing

    Long live Asemics

  • Kerri Pullo

    How to spend your time in "Happy Class:"

  • John M. Bennett

    Sheila E. Murphy & John M. Bennett

  • Lynn Radford

    Loving the Murphy/Bennett piece!

     

  • Neil Gordon

    Wow! new frontiers by Murphy,Bennett, Pullo and Guido! I'm Excited! I never look at words,shapes, or art the same way since discovering this site!

    I used to see patterns in the wooden desks at school when i was a kid (very pre-psychodelics) Like Dali said="i don't need drugs, i am a drug!"

  • Marcela Peral

    Asemic envelopes... I think I still have one or two in my box... :)

  • Guido Vermeulen

    Thanks Neil for the Dali quote, a VERY under estimated WRITER!

    Like his writings even better then his paintings and I am quite serious here.

    Giechelende Guido

  • Guido Vermeulen

    Rebel asemics on public wall in Brussels

  • Guido Vermeulen

    Made a large «painting» now with the help of lemon juice and a lemon and ink dillutions and water; NO brushes were used her: it is all the process of INFUSION (so maybe this is Tea ART). So close to lithography I now think I DO NOT HAVE TO TOUCH THIS or I MAKE a crime.

    Feedback more than welcome ...

  • Guido Vermeulen

    6 more photos of my large LEMON infused ASEMICS, don’t even know where to start the viewing of these images. Oh well, I became an outsider artist at age 58, how NICE !!!

  • Lesley Magwood Fraser

    MY first instinct is that you have to draw into these amazing backgrounds Guido.... go for it! They are a beginning to something HUGE

  • Lesley Magwood Fraser

    I like them a lot!

  • Rebecca Guyver

    Wow Guido, amazing.  I wonder if you'd like the work of Nancy Manter http://www.nancymanter.com/ she was a resident artist on Cranberry Island a few years ago.

  • Guido Vermeulen

    Thanks for the feedback, my oldest cat Tarantino agrees with you and already jumped on the drying images to make some alterations, the crazy dude!

  • Christopher Skinner

    These are glyphs from a writing system I developed earlier this year. The more calligraphic symbols at the bottom are part of an asemic script I had been working on for years in a more calligraphic way, but formalised into a more controlled typeface.

  • De Villo Sloan

    Beauty Christopher. I hope we'll be seeing those in the mail.

  • Claire (aka Cleo)

    Beauty indeed Chrisopher!

  • Guido Vermeulen

    pages from Asemics artist book, mailed to me by Christopher Skinner (UK)

  • Lesley Magwood Fraser

    Wonderful book Christopher! Pity you weren't in our Project 26 in 2011. I would have loved one!

  • Guido Vermeulen

    I continue with my HOTEL series, this one I baptized RAIN AND TEARS IN A GREEC HOTEL, mailed to Serse Luigetti in Italy

  • Kerri Pullo

    Filled with Asemics

  • Nancy Bell Scott

    Wow, Kerri! That is stark and powerful. Wonderful piece.

  • De Villo Sloan

    That is very cool, Kerri.

    We were working on how to stage real-life "asemic environments" in the Martha Stuart School of Asemic Wallpaper.

    DK and I were working on the Asemic Gas idea, only you'd need a gasmask.

    I'd sure like to see asemic things like that in real life.

  • Guido Vermeulen

    More asemics from Kerri, received 2day, thanX!

  • De Villo Sloan

    Thanks, Guido. That's really wonderful work by Kerri.

  • Kerri Pullo

    I think I could get my hands on a gas mask :)

  • Neil Gordon

    Inspiring stuff from Kerri, Guido, Christopher. There are no limits to asemics, thats what i love about it! So glad i found IUOMA!

  • Guido Vermeulen
