{"product_id":"brian-blomerths-bicycle-day-9781944860240","title":"Brian Blomerth's Bicycle Day","description":"Illustrator, musician and self-described \"comic stripper\" Brian Blomerth has spent years combining classic underground art styles with his bitingly irreverent visual wit in zines, comics, and album covers. With Brian Blomerth's Bicycle Day, the artist has produced his most ambitious work to date: a historical account of the events of April 19, 1943, when Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann ingested an experimental dose of a new compound known as lysergic acid diethylamide and embarked on the world's first acid trip. Combining an extraordinary true story told in journalistic detail with the artist's gritty, timelessly Technicolor comix style, \u003ci\u003eBrian Blomerth's Bicycle Day\u003c\/i\u003e is a testament to mind expansion and a stunningly original visual history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlomerth, Brian:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eBrian Blomerth\u003c\/b\u003e is an illustrator, cartoonist and musician based in Brooklyn.
