Blotter Art

Blotter art emerged during the psychedelic revolution of the 1960s, when LSD began to be distributed on perforated sheets of paper known as blotters. Originally used as a simple way to transport and dose LSD, the artwork on these sheets quickly became a visual extension of the trip itself — vibrant, surreal, and often inspired by counterculture and spiritual symbolism. Each design told its own story, from peace signs and mandalas to pop art icons, turning something functional into a piece of underground culture.

By the 1970s and 1980s, blotter art had evolved into a full-blown subculture. Artists began creating their own designs to represent different batches, using bold color palettes and psychedelic imagery to distinguish their work. Even after LSD was criminalized, the art itself lived on — stripped of any drug content, it became a symbol of freedom, rebellion, and creative consciousness. Today, many of these pieces are framed, collected, and traded just like fine art.

It’s completely legal to own blotter art as long as it contains no LSD or controlled substances. Collectors love it for its rarity, history, and ties to the underground art scene — it’s a snapshot of a radical era in visual culture. Each print captures the spirit of experimentation and defiance that defined the psychedelic age. Come grab one of our extremely limited and rare blotter arts — once they’re gone, they’re gone.
