Notes : Illustrator, musician and self-described "comic stripper" Brian Blomerth has spent years combining classic underground art styles with his bitingly irreverent visual wit in zines, comics, and album covers. With Brian Blomerth´s Bicycle Day, the artist has produced his most ambitious work to date: a historical account of the events of April 19, 1943, when Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann ingested an experimental dose of a new compound known as lysergic acid diethylamide and embarked on the world´s first acid trip. Combining an extraordinary true story told in journalistic detail with the artist´s gritty, timelessly Technicolor comix style, Brian Blomerth´s Bicycle Day is a testament to mind expansion and a stunningly original visual history.
