What Is Blotter Art?
Blotter art is one of underground America's most important and misunderstood forms of folk art. Blotter art started out as the artwork that drug dealers used to drop liquid LSD onto so that they may easily sell the drug. After some time, art lovers began to understand the value of this art form and started to collect and preserve the unsaturated artwork. Since then, blotter art has become an eclectic choice of art.

The use of repetitive iconography can be seen in many genres of art, most notably those works created by Andy Warhol.

The art's similarity to illegal blotter acid is purely aesthetic and no attempt has been made to mimic it otherwise.
