Thompson Trip Orange Blotter

Description and story

This blotter features a stylized portrait of Hunter S. Thompson’s alter ego from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas – the cigarette holder, sunglasses, and bucket hat are unmistakable. Thompson, the father of gonzo journalism, fused psychedelics, politics, and chaos into a unique literary genre that deeply influenced counterculture. His work captured the essence of a generation that questioned everything – through acid-fueled journeys and sharp social commentary.

This blotter pays tribute to that legacy, bringing his presence into the realm of blotter art. The bright orange and yellow grid evokes the sun-baked madness of the Nevada desert. Raul Duke represents the fractured mind: paranoid yet perceptive, twisted yet truth-seeking. Psychedelic art thrives on this contradiction – finding meaning in the mess. The blotter becomes more than design – it’s a portal to a different mindset. For newer generations, it’s a vibrant symbol of rebellion and absurdity. And in that, Thompson still trips with us.
