# Drug Stamp Books Frederic Post Creates a Book on the Designs Used on Ecstasy Pills By Peter Vallas | Published 2011-01-30 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frederic-post References: [we-find-wildness](http://www.we-find-wildness.com/2011/01/frederic-post/) & [fredericpost.net](http://www.fredericpost.net/) "Anonymous Engravings on Ecstasy Pills" is an interesting picture book by artist Frederic Post. This unique novel features illustrations of ecstasy pill engravings found by the author. In the book, Frederic Post has redrawn the over 500 signs on the ecstasy pills he has found in a larger view. He also includes 1:1 scale embedded pages that mimic actual ecstasy pills. This book surely isn't for everybody, although many might find this drug art rather interesting. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Drug Art Collectibles:** Incorporating creative elements around illegal drug use offers an opportunity to tap into a niche market of art collectors. - **Recreational Drug Culture Art:** Exploring the visual culture surrounding drug use is an emerging artistic medium with a young and active consumer audience. - **Drug Engraving History:** Delving into the history of drug design, including engraving and stamping, offers the potential to create an educational and enlightening product for collectors and historians alike. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** Art galleries and curators can create exhibitions and events around drug-related visual culture to appeal to a growing interest in this emerging art form. - **Publishing:** Publishers can tap into the market of drug culture enthusiasts by creating books that explore the creative elements surrounding drugs, from design to usage. - **Collectibles:** Collectibles shops and online marketplaces can cater to the growing demand for drug-related memorabilia, including drug stamps and other artifacts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Jewelry-Centric Coffee-Table Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solange-azagurypartridge.md) - [Graphic Design Bold Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parks-2.md) - [Vibrant Artist Pop-Up Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keith-haring-popup-book.md) - [Smartphone App Iconography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ios-app-icon-book.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Memory Loss Ink-Fading Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4442-book.md) - [Collectible Sticker Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glossier-passport-book.md) - [Design Journey Picture Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thedownunder.md) - [Skateboard-Themed Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rabbit-hole-1.md)
