Blotter: The Untold Story of an Acid Medium

Erik Davis

MIT Press, Michigan, 2024. First Edition.

New copy.

From the publisher: Blotter is the first comprehensive written account of the history, art, and design of LSD blotter paper, the iconic drug delivery device that will perhaps forever be linked to underground psychedelic culture and contemporary street art. Created in collaboration with Mark McCloud's Institute of Illegal Images, the world's largest archive of blotter art, Davis's boldly illustrated exhibition treats his outsider subject with the serious, art-historical respect it deserves, while also staying true to the sense of play, irreverence, and adventure inherent in psychedelic exploration.”

Erik Davis is a house favorite at Alarum Books, and I am supremely excited to offer a copy of his latest. Well researched, well-illustrated, this book is a must for anyone who enjoys being high for 8 hour straight.
