Asemic Writing for Mail-Artists

Very rich and beautiful, DVS and Rebecca. 

Thank you NBS & Carolyn, this is the place where I say all the credit goes to La Becca - but it does! The transfers, the sewing.

I never thought much of collabs (to be honest), but now I'm hooked. 

BTW NBS - I like Richard Canard's Asemic Trashpo a lot. I'll probably do something with it.

I have, in fact, a backlog of good stuff from Richard. Just thinking about how to play it. Have not forgotten...

And thanks to Osvaldo as ever

It has been a nice morning stroll through these lovely works

Wow, Alicia! LOVE y'r 'shreds'! Y'r ol' Bud, Fike

Fun to have something I contributed to posted in this group and loved taking part in the collab. So much gorgeous work!

Double wow --

I 2nd, 3rd, 4th (wherever we are). That's a stunner Alicia. I've admired it or one like it before.

I warn everyone that what gets posted here can be scooped up for Asemic Front. That's what I intend to do with Alicia's piece, especially since I have another Alicia piece I was going to post at AF today anyway.

Alicia goes back to the Cheryl Penn glory days of our proud group!

Thanks as ever Alicia

I've done a series of 5 collabs using foundations posted here by our group member Osvaldo Cibils (Italy). Here are versions of the first 3:

oops... here is 2

so enjoying the work i'm seeing in this group!

Welcome Beverly Monk!

Received asemic m-a from Alicia Starr (Iowa, USA) who posted in the group recently. Many of us know Alicia from earlier vispo and asemic days. Thx Alicia

thanks for the warm welcome!

John M. Bennett's envelope bore this image.

That's IT!

22.01.18 Dare Ficus S. & John M. B., .... normally I easily become lost  in the   mysterious & artful calligraphy of John M. Bennett ---- but this reads abundantly clear  with the tip of "That's IT!" as even I can clearly read the letters " I " &  " T ". Thanx for posting.  Sincelery, Richard C.

I've posted some new pieces by Donmay Donamayoora (Connecticut, USA) at Asemic Front. I think she's doing some great work.

Special thanks to Beverly Monk for that great work!

Other people have done vispo text weaves - Cheryl Penn (South Africa) for one. I'll try to dig up some scans.

Be warned! I'm going to be re-posting some of this great work at AF.

I'm thrilled to be able to share the work Audrey Enough (Canada) (formerly Bev M) posted in our group on Asemic Front. Hoping for more!

thanks so much dvs.  also carolyn for your kind words.  would love to see your weaving carolyn.

find your work very intriguing osvaldo...stare and stare at it.

Osvaldo grows on you, Audrey. For a while I was perplexed, now I can't wait for the next installment.

They can be used as collab foundations.

I said I was intrigued with Nancy Bell Scott's "Can You Hear Me Now." So I've done 2 collabs called "Totems" using her original piece. So here are more NBS-DVS collabs.

My only concern is that I'm getting really good at making NBS fakes :) They call that "the anxiety of influence."

beautiful collabs!!

Don't be concerned. We're all under the influence.

This may be taken as another query into the boundary between semic and asemic. Obviously, it contains recognizable symbols. Also, it is not written other than [a few steps ago] by a computer application -- Hexedit. I leave it to the aesthecipient to decide. Y'r ol' Bud,  Fike

DOWN WITH THEY!

28.02.18 Dare De Villo S. & Ficus S., ...of course the red, blue green,black, letter, number item recently posted by Ficus stangulensis is a complete mystery to me but I also find it to be a most  handsome, appropriate & "favorite" image in this comprehensive & informative asemic archive. SinCelery, Richard C.

us likus ficus

I think Fike used his computer for target practice to get that scrambled code.

Fair to consider it asemic, IMHO.

I'll try to run that through the glitcher later and make some real asemic gas.

Audrey is taking asemics by storm!

Received AF collabs from Carolyn Kline. Thx.

Cline

I did a bunch of variations on Fike's code piece and brought in some DK images too, so there's a bunch of stuff at AF.
