Welcome back, Moan. Probably other members have seen the appropriation debate w/ you & Kerri Pullo on FB.

Both you & Kerri have been important participants in this group over the past years; so as far as I'm concerned, you are both always welcome.

We do have a good rhythm going with posting work. My guess is most have worked through where they stand on appropriation. But whatever.

I got an email from Moan[?] speaking of almost deleting something from an image[?] but feeling it needed to be there.

What ever happened to artists appropriate, great artists steal?

Isn't this all not for profit? Nullus Pretii[sp? my Latin's no good, refers to Frank Zappa's "no commercial potential"]

I hope that makes it "ok" and that we don' have Big Brother or Mommy-government looking over our shoulders waiting for someone to ph&&kup.

YOB-f

END THE POETRY WARS

I've been doing asemic writing for 5 years, and it's been one long argument.

"Why can't we just all be friends?"

RE: "Mars Attacks" "Can't we all just get along?" heh, heh!

open letter to DVS (hope he can read this, will send a print too)

Honestly, I don't quite understand this statement..."artists appropriate, great artists steal." But it doesn't apply to my person request to one artist. I don't know the history of "appropriating" and really never heard the term "appropriate art" until this public mess I created and was exacerbated by misunderstandings and emotions. I have no education in art history or theories or any other art related academic thought. I think I've made that clear previously. It doesn't excuse me from educating myself, which this experience has motivated me to do more of. Again, I sincerely apologize for the negativity I initiated in openly expressing my personal concern with one individual. It truly also had nothing to with asemics at all either but I am posting this here because it was mentioned. Ok. I'll stop now.

So much meaning for an asemic board. I just like looking at the pictures......

(with a slight smile)

Ha Vikki Johnson! The asemic definition should include "bad handwriting." One of this group's founders, Cheryl Penn, I believe she got into asemics because no one could understand her handwriting.

The Asemic Wars have come to our humble group, Where's Pete Spence? Well he's in New York City ensuring his literary fame. I doubt we'll hear from.

Oh, I am ripped apart! Kerri & Moan are good friends of mine! But when shove comes to push on this, I am with Kerri. Her work is hers.

We have great collabs in this group & it's just a matter of mutual consent.

The post-avant is in an "appropriation culture" right now, but I don't think that's a license to steal.

You know the later Neoists (like Stewart Home) started a plagiarism movement in the network that was just, in my opinion, widespread looting.

Great work Ruud, BTW. If I do say so myself concerning Ruud's piece.

228.10.16 Dare Ms. Vikki J., Ms. Kerri P., & Mister DeVillo S., ...aha, I have just now dreamed up a "something truly Wretched C." ( & totally "original")...It's actual just another so-called  "poem"---entitled:                                                                                                                                                        "Poem by Richard C."                                               (& goes something like this)                                                                                                   " If I do say so myself."                                           Thanks to all for your inspiration , tolerance & understanding. Sincelery, Richard C.                                                                                                  Post Scriptum: Any similarity to what De Villo  S. said in regards to that "asemic business" by Ruud  J. is purely coincidental.                                                                                                 

off topic too....

NEONISM is a collection of my asemic-vispo using some pretty obvious filters. NEONISM is a play on the name NEOISM.
