Comment by De Villo Sloan on September 5, 2020 at 2:01am: How could I not jump at a piece by Chris Wells (Ohio, USA) shared specifically with our group? So I have that saved for posterity at AF2. Many thanks, Chris, for work of such relevance to recent AF directions:

Also thanks to Chris & the endorsement of Maxima Strange concerning Robert Walser. This is where the group can be so helpful.

Thanks as ever to Borderline Grafix (Texas, USA) & especially for FAB work by the mysterious Princess Olivia Mooncake.

Great stuff here these days! Many thanks & I am moving it all toward the Asemic Front call (which will continue at least through the remainder of 2020 and then we'll assess).

Comment by borderlinegrafix on September 4, 2020 at 4:07pm: Received from Princess Olivia Mooncake:

Comment by Maxima Strange on September 4, 2020 at 3:38am: I love Walser.

Comment by chris wells on September 4, 2020 at 2:10am: This is a microscript of Robert Walser, a fascinating writer whom I have always wanted to learn more about. This is a German script, and the letters are around 1-2 mm high. Not technically asemic, but visually inspiring (source: http://www.drawingcenter.org/):

Comment by De Villo Sloan on September 4, 2020 at 1:34am: Welcome Graciela Sarabia to our humble group. Feel free to share, trade asemics w/ other members, ask questions - whatever works for you.

Carl Baker - I have no particular affinity to the Buddha (altho I have some Allen Ginsberg stories). I just happened to take the photo last weekend.

Certainly some asemic calligraphy seems to reference wonderful Chinese & Japanese traditions that have a spiritual component.

I do note many asemic writers seem to be be meditators, meditative, Asemic writing has a spiritual quality for some & I was just recognizing that.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on September 4, 2020 at 1:27am: In a nod (& wink) to the digital I've shared some "glitched asemic vispo" by Kristine Snodgrass (Florida, USA) on Asemic Front 2 this evening. Keep 'em coming!

Comment by De Villo Sloan on September 1, 2020 at 1:33am: Dharma Asemics

Comment by De Villo Sloan on September 1, 2020 at 12:54am: Also thanks to the great work shared recently by Chris Wells (welcome back, Chris) & our "Ol' Bud" Boderline Grafix. Asemic Front is ongoing!

Comment by De Villo Sloan on September 1, 2020 at 12:53am: I've posted the pages (so far) by Carien van Hest (Netherlands) from her fascinating asemic journal at AF2. Thanks Carien! I hope you & others carry on with the asemic journal concept.
