"Blotter art is an exceptional form of American folk art. It started around 1970 when drug dealers used sheets of perforated blotter paper, printed secretively, to drop liquid of LSD onto. It was easier to sell the drug this way as paper was significantly lighter than other mediums and could meet the mandatory minimum sentences set after LSD became illegal.

Dealers often put their brand names or logos on the product which served to identify a type of acid. These later became decorative iconic images which eventually transformed into a proper form of art. The only difference is that the contemporary perforated paper art is undipped, free of acid.

Nowadays it is a highly appreciated artform."
