Re: Steal Your Face test print 92 Thomas

When I sold these for Bear at the Kesey booth on the '98 Furthur Festival Tour they were $5,000. I did not pick one up for myself. I don't think we had them on display in '02 when I sold for him again at the Alpine Valley Grateful Dead Family Reunion.

"Inspired by classic GD imagery" should read, "Inspired by Tina Carpenter's iconic Moondance" image.

Re: Albert Hofmann 21 Sperry

Is it possible to change the “manufacturer” to Shakedown Gallery for the blotter art print?

Re: Oversoul 98 Grey

There exists a blotter edition. Official. Some are signed, not numbered. While that comment was posted two years prior to tomorrow's release, I'm 99% sure the information is inaccurate. The edition that was put out around the year 2000 was not an authorized edition. I've hosted signings of books, p...

Re: Mad Hatter Blotter 95 McCloud

The art on this print is by the recently deceased "Low Brow" artist "The Pizz"... He was a Southern-California based tiki and surf artist who took his life in 2017. Mark McCloud purchased the original and commissioned the blotter. The Pizz also did the art for the Alfred E. Pluribus Newman blotter t...

Re: Chuck Sperry News

Maybe it's as simple as "has lots of small blotter-like detail"... reminded him of blotter so he called them "blotter"...

Re: Chuck Sperry News

Forgot about those. Always wondered why those were called "blotter" when none of them have perforations or seem to be blotter in any sense of the word that I can surmise.

Did not realize that. Makes sense given when the events of the movie were taking place.

Re: Chuck Sperry News

I can confirm that The Beatles / Orange Sunshine and Dave Hunter blotters were all printed offset with vegetable inks. I'm not producing this current print so not certain of that process, but I have the Gary Houston Acid Test 50th blotter by the same producer and it was offset with vegetable inks. I...

Uncut is indeed $120, not $180 as noted.
