Asemic Music Score

The microtonal people have a continual problem of how to do notation for their music and "sounds," so they turn to asemic notation. Here's an example of that, in a link: …Continue

Profile Information

Mail-Artist since:
...Mail artist since I was a kid. I was always decorating envelopes & presents, no matter what was inside.
My Website (without http://):
http://www.franis.org/holiday New blog at: http://myartworkjournal....
Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
I have been involved in Mail Art for eons, merely because I like to send my friends cool stuff.

There is a purpose for me being here. Mail art is a chance for me to make stuff to uncover what I might want to do, merely because I want to do it. I've been a commercial artist for so long, that I have forgotten what sort of art that I might make - only for myself. When you are an artist for hire, you do what you imagine the customer has indicated that will please them. I have allowed the environment, the purpose, the people - everything outside of myself - to determine what and why I make art for most of my life.

Now I don't have to do that. I can make whatever pleases me. This is a cool thing. However, since I have so little sense about what pleases me, I have found that it works for me to have a purpose.

So I have decided my purpose can be - to send art to you.
My Mail-Adress (snail and/or E-mail)

Yes, and thank you!  I just got it (I don't get to my PO Box every day - more like once a week since I have my husband pick it up for me - he still works on the UC Berkeley campus so it's more convenient for him - I am retired now). I really like your postcard. :D

I'm glad you got it already!  I laminated the piece with Avery clear self-laminating sheet material.  I really like that stuff, though it's not altogether cheap.  I have always loved postcards and wanted mine to feel and look like professionally printed ones... or as close as I could get without becoming a commercial printer. ;)  3M also makes a good laminating sheet, even thicker, but Avery combines the best overall price with a satisfactory effect and ease of use (albeit a little tedious).

Sounds like a great place to live!  We thought about moving to Hawaii many times because I feel so healthy there (the climate suits me) but we are settled here in California (job and family wise) so we just visit from time to time. ;)  Yes, it's a fun place, IUOMA - the best thing is the variety!  So many people from so many different backgrounds and locations, styles and sensibilities.  I love it.

Thanks for your friendship, Franis - where's Kamuela by the way?  I've been to Hawaii but only on Maui a couple of times.  I absolutely adore the climate there - I feel healthy as a teenager when I'm in the islands. :D
