Emoji Paintings, by ND Stevenson

“The Creation of Adam,” Michelangelo
“Girl with a Pearl Earring,” Johannes Vermeer
“The Persistence of Memory,” Salvador Dalí
“American Gothic,” Grant Wood
“The Son of Man,” René Magritte
“The Kiss,” Gustav Klimt

This artist recreated famous paintings using only emoji. Any you recognize?

Stevenson: I cannot tell you how or why, but at some point a few years back I discovered that Instagram Stories not only allows you unlimited emojis, it ALSO allows you to enlarge them to an apparently infinite degree. Thus, a very strange new hobby was born. As far as I can tell, I am the inventor of this art form, since I am a genius and everyone else has a life.

The Simpsons, by Princess Prompt

Mr. Burns
Groundskeeper Willie
Ned Flanders
Moe
Patty and Selma

A photographer and graphic designer created a set of mind-blowing AI images of The Simpsons using the very latest text-to-image technology.

“I wanted to test the new features of the latest version of Midjourney,” Princess Prompt explains. “I decided to start with The Simpsons’ characters because I’m a fan and especially because they all have a very defined look with very light colors and accessories that are their own.”

Typical Americans by State, by Sara Thompson on Midjourney

Michigan
New York
New Jersey

Recently, a writer at BuzzFeed, Sara Thompson, decided to see what would happen when she asked Midjourney what a typical person from each American state looked like (AImericans?). These are the three from the states I’ve lived in, but you can see all 50, here.

Why does Indiana seem the only state that’s happy?
