In 1977 counterculture psychedelic drug advocate Bruce Eisner helped found the Psychedelic Education Center in Santa Cruz, the earliest organization aimed at furthering the cause of the Psychedelic Revolution. Eisner produced only 4 issues of Blotter between 1978 and 1979, they are all very scarce. In 1990 the group became the Island Foundation based on Aldous Huxley's visions and continued to keep the Psychedelic Movement alive during a time of cultural repression.
