Dolphins Blotter – 4×4 Tabs

Description and story

This blotter sheet features a repeating pattern of golden dolphins printed on a white background, with each dolphin accented by a small blue dot in the corner—creating a playful yet visually balanced design. Known as the “Dolphins” sheet, it first appeared in the early 1980s and became recognizable for its cheerful, ocean-inspired aesthetic within the evolving world of blotter-style graphics.
Dolphins are widely associated with harmony, freedom, and intelligence—qualities that resonated with the creative optimism of the time. The motif marks a shift in design approach: from abstract visuals to nature-based imagery that offered both symbolic meaning and visual clarity. The consistent spacing and subtle color contrast introduced by the blue dots give the sheet a rhythmic, almost animated appearance.
Modern reproductions of this design are undipped and intended strictly for artistic and collectible purposes. Collectors appreciate the “Dolphins” sheet for its simple charm, peaceful tone, and its role in shaping nature-focused, folk-inspired visual traditions in psychedelic-themed art.
