Comment by De Villo Sloan on March 27, 2021 at 5:00pm: I've posted a letter at Asemic Front 2 from none other than Jim Leftwich concerning the "femmeglitch" created by Kristine Snodgrass. Some interesting "shop talk" for visual poets, asemic writers & creators of image-text.

I'm posting materials as fast as I can. Thank you to all!

Comment by De Villo Sloan on March 22, 2021 at 3:28am: Welcome new asemicists! And thx to group folks for the posts.

I am very pleased to post some new collabs at Asemic Front 2 featuring two IUOMA-Ning members who have shaped mail art in the last decade: Kerri Pullo (Arizona, USA) & Michael Kelly aka DSF aka #dsfcult (Massachusetts, USA).

Comment by Ficus strangulensis on March 12, 2021 at 8:28pm: here's the 'cheat sheet'

Comment by Ficus strangulensis on March 12, 2021 at 8:22pm: Duncan Geere, a scientist whom I follow by emails of his blog has mentioned the number system used by Cistercian monks. Although it is VERY SEMIC it looks to me and would be to almost all of us asemic. Here's a link to some images: https://blog.duncangeere.com/cistercian-plotter-postcards/?utm_sour...

Comment by Mail Art Martha on March 9, 2021 at 6:14pm: Thank you Caren, i always welcome a bit of Art Nouveau, those curves. I hope it belongs to your family!

Comment by Bradford on March 4, 2021 at 2:25am: That's one of the most fabulous clocks I've ever seen. Hard to believe it's from 1885, but Horta was a leader.

Comment by Carien van Hest on March 3, 2021 at 10:37pm: Art nouveau... This clock is designed by Victor Horta, around 1885. The irregular but fluent lines remind me of asemic writing.
