id est: neo scribalist asemic expressionism. A book trailer by Michael Jacobson
'id est: neo scribalist asemic expressionism' is a hand-painted abstract illuminated manuscript created by Michael Jacobson. This book is about going through mental hell and emerging as a spiritual survivor. The codex utilizes asemic writing and abstract art to tell a visually poetic tale of transformation and evolution into agnostic-pantheism. It contains 73 art works painted with gouache and water color pencils on water color paper. This work was begun in 2021 and completed in 2023. It will be published by Post-Asemic Press in mid-September 2023.
Works that influenced my process are The Book of Kells, Bestiaries, a Batak Pustaha, The Codex Seraphinianus, The Voynich Manuscript, the Rohonc Codex, Mayan and Aztec painted books, Kenneth Patchen's picture-poems, William Blake's mystical illuminations, Tom Phillips' A Humument, Timothy Ely's artist books, Visual poetry, and the wilder action scribes of the asemic movement. Three artists who influenced my book are: Cy Twombly, José Parlá, and Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Typo Poem by Michael Betancourt is available now at Amazon! Post-Asemic Press #22
Click here for more info about Typo Poem by Michael Betancourt:
Betancourt’s typoems are reminiscent of many ideas in asemic language, Wildstyle, Cubism. Each and every work is layered and architectural warm, and also filled with humanitarian fragmentation that allows the imagination to move through these spaces.
— José Parlá, artist
Betancourt’s elegant asemic compositions, spatially ambiguous and graphically complex, are deceptively lucid at first glance. But these works hover in an indeterminate space, as if waiting to be collapsed through the perception of the viewer into an either/or resolution of il/legibility. Instead, the poems refuse to become fixed and thus sustain an ongoing provocation.
