21.03.2023 Social Media in the 1930s - Midjourney v5 Prompt: a printed magazine version of Facebook (or Flickr, or Instagram, or Twitter, or LinkedIn) from the 1930s --ar 3:4 What began in my head as a quick throwaway joke, in practice turned into a fascinating and sometimes hilarious compendium of period graphic styles. There’s only space for 10 on the Instagram carousel. I could have chosen an entirely different 10 in the next moment. For the full set, plus a few 1950s variants, go here: https://m.facebook.com/groups/naaii/permalink/3603106556642622/ #MidJourney #MidJourneyv5 #MidJourneyAI https://www.instagram.com/p/CqOkZdzIpqY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

23.03.2023 Varanasi at Dawn (not exactly) In March 2017, my good friend Pete Western (IG: @theoldcowboy) and I took a sketching and photography tour of India together but out of respect for the dead and bereaved, we didn’t draw or photograph the funeral pyres on the ghats on the banks of the Ganges at Varanasi. These images are an attempt at evoking the atmosphere of the place at dawn, in my own fine art print style. The images are generated entirely in Midjourney v5, with minimal post but without any visual reference whatsoever and (to the AI naysayers out there) without citing any artist’s name, work or style, not even my own. Just one thing, the rising sun is in the wrong place. Geography not being one of MJ’s strong points, it seems. #MidJourney #MidJourneyv5 #MidJourneyAI https://www.instagram.com/p/CqOU6e7oHKr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

19.03.2023 Woman in Profile to Smoke Using the profile drawing in my previous post: 18.03.2023 Balham, Northern Line https://www.instagram.com/p/CqOCigPIaIY/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link and a couple of smoke reference images, with the /blend command in MidJourney. #MidJourney #MidJourneyv5 #MidJourneyAI #urbansketchers #pencilsketch #sketchbook #sketchbookdrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/CqORqmVvcZE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

18.03.2023 Balham, Northern Line Exploring the possibilities of generating photographic images from sketch drawings in Midjourney AI v5 Using a written prompt that includes a single sketch reference drawing and no other visual reference, MJ sometimes produces photographic images that bear an uncanny resemblance to the original subject. Again, a minimal and quickly drawn (Balham is my stop) profile sketch, slightly caricatured. MJ took a few attempts before getting the nose right and I couldn’t remember if she was wearing a light or dark hoodie, so tried both.

18.03.2023 Embankment, Northern Line Exploring the possibilities of generating photographic images from sketch drawings in Midjourney AI v5 Using a written prompt that includes a single sketch reference drawing and no other visual reference, MJ sometimes produces photographic images that bear an uncanny resemblance to the original subject. Using a less detailed, more minimal sketch than usual here, MJ surprised me with the accuracy of the character, straight off the bat, even with the initial quadrant, even down to the fur collar and neck scarf not detailed in the written prompt.

17.03.2023 Italian Market, Fruit & Veg Vendors Exploring the possibilities of generating photographic images from sketch drawings in Midjourney AI v5 Using a written prompt that includes a single sketch reference drawing and no other visual reference, MJ sometimes produces photographic images that bear an uncanny resemblance to the original subject. Try as I might, I could not get MJ to incorporate the produce weigh scales into the main image, only as a separate detail. And the signage is bizarre. #MidJourney #MidJourneyv5 #MidJourneyAI #urbansketchers #pencilsketch #sketchbook #sketchbookdrawing

16.03.2023 Oversize Hi Vis Jacket Exploring the possibilities of generating photographic images from sketch drawings in Midjourney AI v5 Using a written prompt that includes a single sketch reference drawing and no other visual reference, MJ sometimes produces photographic images that bear an uncanny resemblance to the original subject. MJ didn’t quite manage the Hi Vis detail here and the woman is a little younger than the original sketch subject and again, the public transport detail is off but overall it’s pretty close. The last two images with the weird hat detail are from MJ v4. #MidJourney #MidJourneyv5 #MidJourneyAI #urbansketchers #pencilsketch #sketchbook #sketchbookdrawing
