Brian Blomerth's Bicycle Day

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 Blomerths 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 worlds first acid trip. Combining an extraordinary true story told in journalistic detail with the artists gritty, timelessly Technicolor comix style, Brian Blomerths Bicycle Day is a testament to mind expansion and a stunningly original visual history.
