Requested by an old friend of mine.
She is an artist and a collector of blotter art.
She wants to make her own art and feature them in museum but everyone has to start somewhere.

How do you customly make your own blotter art? She has her artwork stored on a computer and would like to transfer it to blotter paper.
If you have skill with this please tell the process.
THANK YOU

Hi. I can answer some of those questions.

I can have images turned into blotter art at my site, ShakedownGallery.com.

Additionally, my friends owns the "Blotter Museum." It is more of a private residence in San Francisco than a "museum" per se, but people can visit by invite.

The Museum (called by the curator "The Institute of Illegal Images") has a focus specifically on archiving old blotter sheets. Stuff from 1995 and earlier are his main interest. He likes to collect new sheets, too, but not specifically what has come to be known as "vanity blotter" -- blotter art that has no history but which is created for the purpose of art rather than as a distribution vehicle for an illegal substance.

ShakedownGallery.com focuses on creating vanity blotter. Then again, I just run a chicken farm. If some of those eggs grow up to be bad chickens, I am not going to monitor this.

I should say for the purpose of clarity: I don't sell dipped paper or acid of any sort whether on paper or in vials or on sugar cubes or gels. I just sell art and help other artists get their art published in this medium.

Thanks!

email me c/o shady(at)blotterati(dot)com with questions.
