I posted a series of snail mail collabs done by visual poet Andrew Brenza (New Jersey, USA) & me at Asemic Front 2. I point these out because I consider them "concrete asemic" - this is sort of "dueling typewriters." I'd love to do more of these if anyone uses typewriters.

Those who were here for the glory days (may there be many ahead) of IUOMA-Ning & Cheryl Penn's book projects in our humble asemic group will recall our great friend Lisa Iversen (Indiana, USA).

Like many asemic & Trashpo legends, Lisa Iversen is mostly "retired" from mail art after a decade of intensity (have you learned m-a is hard work yet?). But sometimes she emerges for a stroll. And she sent a textile piece to Asemic Front!

Thank you Lisa Iversen (aka Lisa Lisa, aka Skybridge Studios)

Wow, received FAB asemics from group member Penny Reinecke in Western Australia. The postcard is shared here at IUOMA-Ning and on Asemic Front 2. Thank you, Penny!

Thanks all! More asemics coming and feel free to post your own.

Welcome Jenn Miltenberger!

Again - thanks to all who are contributing to Asemic Front. While it has expanded, AF is at core a mail art call. So all IUOMAns are always welcome to participate.
