Mikio Signed, Numbered "Aztec Portal" Blotter Art
A description of the image by the artist:
"When archeologists analyzed the great statue of Xochipilli they couldn't deduce the meaning of the flower carvings that covered his form. They also couldn't explain why out of all the Aztec deities, he apparently was alone in not requiring the bloody sacrifice of human hearts. It took botanists to inform the world that the carvings were of morning glory and psilocybin. The rapture on his face spoke of the sacrament of those plants. The web of life to which he was thus connected placed him beyond the need of the predator/prey duality of the blood sacrifice.
"It felt appropriate to re-embody one of histories' great psychedelic works in the form of blotter art."
