Bleeding Palm animates Miami's underground scene with psychedelic humor. So we've employed them to make the Magic City feel more magical with animated GIFs.

Sometimes, Bleeding Palm gets inspired by local news stories. Other times, they're inspired by Miami nightlife. And rarely, in times like these, Bleeding Palm is inspired by nature. Or by love. Or by Lisa Frank?

In any case, they're definitely not inspired by sex. "This GIF features two dolphins giving hugs on the beach," Bleeding Palm explains. "They are definitely hugging because dolphins don't do sex that way. Look it up."
