Created by Gobonobo (talk). Self-nominated at 18:24, 20 July 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Blotter art; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Wow, we just got this article? (This is close to GA, btw.) All good, except...the one problem that 1. this is a hook that really demands an image, but 2. it's not at all obvious that the images used here (both the hook and the article) are freely licensed, given they're reproductions of works that would by default be copyright. This seems to be the most plausibly actually-free image in the article, so could be swapped out for the hook -- do we know the status more certainly for anything else (including potentially free images that aren't included)?

- @Vaticidalprophet I've switched out the hook image and removed the Alex Grey blotter. I can't speak to the provenance of the bicycle day image. Commons doesn't have much in the way of options, but I'm fairly sure there are some examples out there that would be eligible under {{PD-textlogo}} This site has a lot of the earlier, simple designs. Orange Sunshine or Eye of Horus maybe? I think the Mayan image or the Hieronymus Bosch from this article would also be free as derivative works. gobonobo + c 21:21, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
All good for DYK. (My strong recommendation again to the prep-builder that this run with an image!) The Horus one should be workable; I think the Valerie chemical formula one on Commons is workable too. Same again for PD works like older artwork. But for DYK purposes -- we're good.
