We were planning to continue to produce blotters together, but now that Paul has died I and many others lost that connection. My work was printed and perforated in the UK by the (then largest) blotter producer Monkey aka Paul Guest, for my 2018 vinyl compilation set ’75 Years Ov LSD – Birthing the Inner Spiritual Child’. – Who printed and perforated your pieces then and now ?.The ‘True Sacrament’ blotter is the only blotter I’ve produced up to know. – How many blotter art pieces did you make ?.Mark McCloud, Boris Hiesserer and Paul Guest. All the other editing to the former church graphic were already in place, as this picture is the main key-graphic for the LSD web-archive: As a former member of the ‘European College for Consciousness Research’ (ECBS), I did not hesitate to mention my real name when Monkey asked for the work title and the designers name. So Paul and I did choose the late 1890’s communion picture with it’s German text transformed into English – so the meaning would be understood more easy by more people. Here I met blotter artist pioneer Mark McCLoud again and got his request to create a blotter from one of my art designs, in cooperation with his friend and colleague Paul Guest (RIP).

When visiting the ‘Science & Fiction’ Festival on drugs, in Basel, Switzerland in 2018 I held a lecture on the ‘Cultural History of Ergot’.

I documented and translated their talks and released a book entitled ‘Ecce Panis Angelorum – Holy Technologies of Visionary Culture’ about plant sacraments aka spirit molecules, the mother and the father of LSD, ancient fertility- and mystery-cults, holism and transcendance. As an autodidact-expert in alchemy and shamanism and a member of the global consciousness-research community I worked under and with Timothy Leary, Terence McKenna, Sasha Shulgin and even Albert Hofmann. I am a freelancer and as a media-artist working with all kind of media. – Can you tell us about your academic / artistic background ?.Since 34 years I work from Heidelberg and live next to the ‘Neckar’ river that runs through our small town in southern Germany. the ‘Temple Ov Psychick Youth’ of which I became an activist two years before. My artist name Eden 123 was given to me in 1986, one year after I founded ‘Pyromania Arts’ as the Dutch/German foundation of the non-dogmatic, non-sectarian, worldwide information network TOPY a.k.a. – What make you choose your artist name (if different from your real name)?.My name is Boris Nikolaus Hiesserer, also known as Eden 123. – Can you tell us your real name and artist name?.So you Know the Blotter, but did you know the story behind the artwork and who’s the artist? You certainly know his double sided artwork “True Sacrament ” which upon release was an immediate hit with Blotter art collectors as it reflected and vibrated by its depiction of the origins of LSD, the rye ergot.
