The Shulgin Blotter Art Fundraiser is auctioning sixty sheets of Blotter Art

[countyourculture]

The Shulgin Blotter Art Fundraiser is auctioning sixty sheets of Blotter Art, signed by Ann and Sasha, Stanislav Grof, Dennis McKenna, Jim Fadiman and Ralph Metzner, with all profits going to the Shulgins to help cover their medical expenses.

LSD was first put on blotter paper in the early 1970s and this quickly gave rise to a specialized art form of decorated blotter paper. Often the blotter paper was decorated with tiny insignia on each perforated tab, but by the 1990s this had progressed to full-page designs. After some time, art lovers began to collect the unsaturated (inactive) artwork, and since then its popularity as an art form has blossomed.

In late 2010, Sasha Shulgin, discoverer of the therapeutic properties of MDMA and hundreds of novel psychoactive chemicals, suffered a stroke. Although he has been recovering since this time, the Shulgins are struggling against a tide of medical and care bills. Sasha continues to face a variety of age-related health challenges.

Despite Sasha’s important work in the laboratory, the Shulgins have received very little monetary gain from their endeavours.

By bidding for one of these limited artefacts of psychedelic history, you can help an elderly couple who together have transformed psychedelic science in a way that no fundraiser can ever repay.

AUCTIONS START APRIL 7

Hi folks,

Just dropping in to encourage you all to consider bidding on these sheets!

Despite all their work, Ann and Sasha have made very little money from their books and Sasha's lab work. Now they are an elderly couple and have to deal with constant financial anxiety and worry, as well as Sasha's stroke, his ulcer and other age-related difficulties. They are very much in need of our help. Personally, I am of the opinion that Sasha's influence cannot be repaid by any fundraiser... his contributions go far beyond financial worth. Please dig deep and splash out on something you might not buy otherwise - you'll make a good investment and help the Shulgins. Everybody wins!

I know that the sheets look as if they are going for a lot, but they are actually selling at well under half what they are worth currently, if sold individually. Current value is only going to increase over the coming years. Sheets being won by some vendors are already being re-sold at $750+.

So many reasons to get bidding!
