Brian Blomerth first fused his singularly irreverent underground comix style with heavily-researched history in 2019's Brian BlomerthÆs Bicycle Day, a Technicolor retelling of the discovery of LSD. Now, the illustrator and graphic novelist continues his wild and woolly excursions into the history of mind expansion with Mycelium Wassonii, an account of the lives and trips of R. Gordon and Valentina Wasson, the pioneering scientist couple responsible for popularizing the use of psychedelic mushrooms. A globetrotting vision of hallucinatory science and religious mysticism with appearances by Life Magazine, the CIA, and the Buddha, Mycelium Wassonii is a visual history and a love story as only Blomerth's Isograph pen can render it.
Brian Blomerth is an illustrator, cartoonist and musician based in Brooklyn. His previous publications-released via Anthology Editions, Tan & Loose, and through his own Pupsintrouble Press-include the zines Xak's Wax, iPhone 64: A User's Guide, and Hypermaze. A veteran of the underground music and arts scene whose work has graced numerous album covers, Blomerth also produces comics which appear weekly in Vice and Merry Jane.
