 Store Images Blotter Randal Roberts' joyously psychedelic painting of Homer Simpson is available as a limited edition blotter art print. It's on acid-free paper, 'natch.

    thanks for all of the great feedback! i’m the guy who produced the homer blotter art print (and the guy who was selling it at the haight street fair.)

    a year ago, a mutual friend of randal roberts and i contacted me and said that randal wanted to see his homer image on blotter art. i sell blotter art at music events and have a website at http://shakedowngallery.com selling blotter art.

    randal sent me a high res file of his homer, formatted to fit the 30×30 (900 “hit”) format that fits my perforation operation and it was produced for the memorial day furthur festival in 2010. since then it has been wildly popular and exremely well received.

    randal’s a great guy and i hope he gets the attention he deserves for his beautiful images. homer seems to have struck a nerve as everyone has been hugely appreciative of this design. i’ve been psyched to print and perforate it for him here in san francisco.

    feel welcome to email me with questions — shady(at)blotterati.com

    I bought one two weeks ago at the Haight Street Fair!
    The color is much more vibrant than the photo above shows.

    Also,
    “Homer, are you licking toads?”
    “I’m not NOT licking Toads…”

    No, but “UNDIPPED” is a good name for a gallery opening. I’m now getting nostalgic flashes of album covers and missing the technological moment which enabled them. Roger Dean, where art thou?

    I was in San Francisco once, and we happened upon a small art gallery that had some of Dean’s work for sale (it was a while ago, but if I’m not mistaken, one piece was the original art for the Fragile album cover).

    It was really cool to see. For some reason, I though I “knew” better, seeing it larger than 12″ was strange.

    If you’re going to Camp Bisco in July they’ll be available along with the posters. Check out his Alan Watts image too.

    I love it. However, what’s “Blotter Art”?

    • yclept

      Oh Palomino, have we come so far from the 60s? Also, does not google return results? Anyway, I’d get this for my son, but I can’t quite get to where that’s appropriate.

      • David Pescovitz

        He also has the same artwork available as a print on plain paper.

    • djn

      Palomino: As said, google works … but anyway. It’s the art found on LSD-infused paper; one of those odd corners that ended up with a distinct art style.

      • EH

        I’m pretty sure distinct art styles require odd corners.

    No ho ho ho ho ho ho, it isn’t.

  • Ambiguity

    I’ve seen insanely pretty blotter art posted on the ‘net, but honestly, if it ain’t dipped, it’s not really blotter art, is it?

    • dfletcher

      It’s a business opportunity! A little DIY, buy the pretty pictures from this guy, mix the peanut butter and the chocolate and hey presto, easy $200 / sheet :-P

      • Ambiguity

        Unfortunately, the paper is the easy part. Getting the PB & C right is… challenging, unless you own a missile silo.
