Comment by De Villo Sloan on March 25, 2020 at 5:44pm: I've been very fortunate to be able to put together an Asemic Front 2 post of FAB vispo (solo) by an old friend to many of us here: Alicia Starr Ryan (formerly of Iowa now of New Jersey, USA).

Alicia Starr Ryan exchanged mail and participated in vispo & asemic projects during that IUOMA vispo Golden Age with Cheryl Penn and others. Alicia is still making art and doing well.

I think this recent work is breakthrough stuff! Deepest thanks to Alicia Starr Ryan.

Julie is also the spokesmodel for my Fake DK pieces.

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on March 21, 2020 at 2:37pm: These by you and Julie are downright beautiful, DVS.
