Asemic Writing for Mail-Artists

Received a great piece from group member Jan Hodgman (Anacortes, Washington). Many thanks.

Osvaldo Cibils & John M. Bennett

Received a relevant piece from Jay Block (Bridgewater, Massachusetts, USA). Many thanks

Mora Chepin in San Francisco sent me a great piece.

Received a great piece from group member Jason Motsch (Pennsylvania, USA). Thx!

A piece from Jason Motsch, collage and his characteristic cosmic asemics. Thanks, Jason! Great envelope, too.

Received interesting piece by Richard Canard (Illinois, USA). Thx

John M. Bennett sent me an envelope of work that includes his collabs with Diane Keys. Group members should definitely take a look at these. And you are all invited, of course, to send work for my Karnival de Trash call. Thx JMB

Oh, Sure, but could we make it 87?

Group member Lin Tarczynski (California, USA) sent me a card w/ her asemic cartoons/abstract comics/vispo - whatever you might want to call it. Great stuff! Thx Lin

We can debate about "vispo" vs. "asemic" but these collabs by our own JMB and Scott Helemes at the Post-literate blog are something. Really great pieces, IMHO, that are totally relevant to this group.

Osvaldo Cibils & John M. Bennett

Love it!

It's my newest favorite thing that you've done--I need to catch up on your Faint Press tumblr.

nice one, Chris

Thanks Fike, Lin, and De Villo! Hoping to mail a bunch of stuff out this September, including this one.

clarísimo!!  gracias!

Received a great piece from Jim Leftwich for the Karnival of Trash exhibition.

I never know what will tempt me, but I will try to fit just about anything that catches my eye into the GLP mythos. In fact, I call it the "catch the eye" or "catch eye" constraint.

Thank you De Villo Sloan and Jim Leftwich.

Welcome bunmiful! Feel free to post work, comment, question or just follow the evolutionary path of this amazing vispo stream.

Thx Lin. Great work. We're so lucky to have you here.

Thank you De Villo Sloan for the welcome!  I’m new to mail-art and the concept of Asemics in general.  Just getting my bearings really.  So, first question and post:  Would these ATCs fall under a class of Asemics like... asemic collage?
