Joseph Fidel Roberts[2] (born 1976), also known under the moniker LSDworldpeace, is an American artist.

Roberts was born in Madison, Wisconsin, and grew up in Milwaukee.[3][4] He was introduced to art through his grandfather, who was a printmaker,[3] and through his father, a librarian and comic book collector, who would show him the books of Ram Dass, Jack Kirby, and R. Crumb.[5][6] In the late 1990s, Roberts moved to San Francisco,[6] where he studied at the San Francisco Art Institute.[7] Despite this, Roberts maintains he mainly learned about art through psychedelics rather than through formal training.[8]

His work often features motifs like Mickey Mouse, the Grateful Dead stealie, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.[5][9] He takes inspiration from Mike Kelley, impressionists like Van Gogh, as well as from graffiti culture, and artists like Barry McGee and Chris Johansen.[5][10]

Roberts has gained attention for his collaborations with skate brands like Supreme, GX1000, and Civilist.[11][12] His art has been displayed in galleries across the United States and Europe.[13][14] In 2017, Roberts was featured on a VICE documentary about DMT presented by Hamilton Morris.[15]

Roberts currently resides in San Francisco.[16]
