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