Of late I had made use of the [Deep Dream Generator](https://deepdreamgenerator.com/) quite often. It is almost addictive, once you get started. I had been trying it when it first was introduced. At that time, it was a simple site with basically one Deep Dream style. I think I found the site via an article like this: [Google robots dream up crazy psychedelic pictures using 'inceptionism' AI neural networks](https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/google-robots-dream-crazy-psychedelic-pictures-using-inceptionism-ai-neural-networks-photos-1507584). Trying it out, I was hooked! For a time after that, I was not using the site and found when accessing it again, you had to create a account and log in. It is still free to use, but vastly improved since its early days over 3 years ago. Because now, in addition to pre-set styles, you can upload your own styles as well.

_{GIF created with Deep Dream Images and Photoshop}

I blogged about this, as well as a GIF Creator Program 2 years ago: [DEEP DREAM AND GIF CREATOR](https://www.artofthemystic.com/blog/deep-dream-and-gif-creator). At that time, I had combined photoshop images of my portrait with Deep Dream and created a GIF using this [GIF GENERATOR WEBSITE](http://gifcreator.me/) Making animated GIF images is a little complicated in Photoshop, so when I was looking for a tutorial, I found this website where it is easy to create animated GIF: all you have to do is upload your images, select the parameters and voila, done! This one here is also my first test, using images I had on hand (some of which were photo-shopped, some previously created in Deep Dream).
