Along with 'microdots' and 'windowpanes', Lsd began to be put on blotter paper sheets in the early 1970s. That gave rise to a particular art form of decorating with trippy pictures the blotter paper. Usually the blotter paper was decorated with very small 'icons' on each perforated square tab. By the 1990s this has progressed to complete four colors designs often involving the 'traditional' entire page of 900 tabs.
Nowadays many websites specialized in blotter art sell beautiful art prints of 'vanity blotter art', that is blotter paper sheets obviously without the acid...
I like to point out the website of Mark McCloud, probably the most important blotter art expert, but don't miss Ken Kesey's son Key-z
You can find nice blotter art also here and here and here
