Unrecognizable Letterforms (Alphabits™) by Joel E. Swanson
Unrecognizable Letterforms (Alphabits™)
2019
found cereal forms, lead
variable
I made this sculptural series from a box of store-bought Alphabits cereal. I pulled out any piece of cereal that was unrecognizable as an alphabetic letterform, and then molded and cast those forms from led lead. Thematically the work addresses the consumption and commodification of language.
Zapf Dingbats Revolved Around Their Y Axis
2015
found typeface, 3D printed plastic
approximately 2 x 2 x 2 inches each
This work was derived from the typeface Zapf Dingbats, a common symbolic typeface designed by Hermann Zapf in 1978. To create this series of micro sculptures, I took each glyph and revolved it around its vertical axis, and then 3D printed each form, creating a series of playful and unexpected forms.

A New Author Site For Michael Jacobson aka Asemic Writer/MK JCBSN
I have a new personal author blog to promote my books. My information was scattered across many different websites and I needed a place to bring all of my asemic/verbal writing together into one location. I have my Ello site, and THATplanet. But I needed a room of my own to decorate and focus on my books, personal writing, and asemic scribbling.

"I have been creating images from words that I abstract since 2004. I started with converting people's signatures into patterns and shapes. Later I started converting text from old yearbook inscriptions into patterns and shapes. I have started creating direct asemic writing inspired by languages that are now dead and had never been written down. I make these marks in a similar way to when I had to write definitions in middle school for talking. Over and over again I had to write the same words as punishment, but secretly I kind of liked it. When I started this type of writing, I realized the connection and my past came flooding back to me. I am reminded of the Simpsons when Bart writes on the chalkboard a statement over and over again." —Todd Camplin
