Mark McCloud and the Institute of Illegal Images

Mark McCloud's collection, also known as the "Institute of Illegal Images" is the most comprehensive collection of decorated LSD blotter paper in the world. As such, the collection has been the target of two criminal trials where McCloud was forced to defend not only the collection, but also his own liberty.

Artist and LSD blotter art archivist Mark McCloud, in collaboration with digital artist/publisher Dana Smith present Blotter Barn, a series of archival, fine art digital prints derived from Mark McCloud's infamous blotter art collection called the Institute of Illegal Images. Each image is a photographic enlargement of a selected item from the collection, and depicts that item in forensic detail, revealing tiny elements that are normally invisible to the human eye. All images are issued as a Blotter Barn exclusive limited edition of 50 prints, signed and numbered by artist, Mark McCloud, and further authenticated by the presence of the 'Blotter Barn' and 'Dana Dana Dana' embossed impressions on either lower corner.
