St. Francis Elevator Ride (aka Josh Breeden) is a designer and art director by day, but by nights, he creates incredibly psychedelic GIFs from retro portraits. Looking at them is trippy, to say the least, but it's also a hell of a lot cheaper than buying acid from your friend L-Dawg. He has bleached cornrows, and that's not reassuring.

These GIFs are from Josh's solo show, Fabric of Paradise, in which he explored the combination of digital and analog art as a metaphor for the unreality of being human. They not-so-subtly communicate the degree to which people live in their own heads while struggling to communicate with the world around them … but aside from that' they're mighty pretty to look at. So look!
