Welcome Robin Jeree. Feel free to post anything you would like in the group.
Most group members trade snail mail, so I think you should be able to trade work easily.
I am also running a mail art call called Asemic Front. I do also take digital work. So if you post in this group I assume it's OK for me to use it on asemic front.
Ferran Destemple (Barcelona, Spain) sent me some erasures he did of pages from "The Soft Machine" by William Burroughs. Ferran says this work is a very conscious attempt to create. I think it's great stuff. Thx Ferran
Sounds good, De Villo! Meanwhile, here is a (hopefully) final scan of my work. When I reviewed the one I posted yesterday, I noticed a flaw. Maybe no one would have noticed, but it bothered me. I'm persnickety at times...
Jayne Lyons' (Minnesota, USA) asemic piece is posted on AF 2 along w/ a rant on asemics & the Rosetta Stone that will probably continue when Fike's new work goes up. Thx Jayne. Great start!
Here is the new work from Yayoi S.W. (Washington State, USA) on AF2. These are from IUOMA-Ning but AF2 tends to get other folks who are not IUOMA members. So it all works. Thanks Yayoi for the great pieces!
New AF2 collab by Diane Keys & John M. Bennett. If you scroll further there are also additional collabs by Osvaldo Cibils, JMB & yours truly. Keep 'em coming, please!
Asemic Front is moving along with solo and collab work via snail mail and digital. At root it is a mail art call. Thanks to all in the group who are participating.
Kerri Pullo, Mud Head and John M. Bennett are doing collabs that I hope to be able to cover.
Collabs at Asemic Front 2 by John M. Bennett, Diane Keys & first timer Shawn McMurtagh (ohio, USA). I think "Body Finger" is available in hard copy form by Luna Bisonte Prods (link at AF2). Here is "Body Finger" by Bennett, Keys, McMurtagh:
OMG Jayne, that is so cool! This is the way to go right now. I think it's good people pull starters from the group. But I will get you the snail mail soon!
Many of you know Dona Mayoora via asemics and vispo groups outside IUOMA. She has ventured into the mail art side by sending me an original piece for Asemic Front. She is an excellent asemic calligrapher. She was educated in India so this is amazing cross-cultural work, cross-lingual exploration. I think she is a great innovator.

Dear group members,
The Asemic Front call continues as before, only I've opened up a new blog (Asemic Front 2) to allow more space for documentation.
Please send your asemic solo work either by snail mail or digitally. In fact, you can post work in this group for AF.
The core of AF remains snail mail collabs.
I'll continue documentation as work comes in. Thanks for all the great work that made the first phase of AF popular and innovative!

Jayne, the newest draft looks great. I'll put it on AF next or so.
I'll also use that piece by Yayoi as I haven't seen any new work in a while and it looks great.
