Patrick Commecy, together with his team, creates huge murals of hyper-realistic facades that bring blank and boring city walls to life.

What’s interesting here is that while these realistic yet fake facades trick you at first glance, some of the people painted there were once real. Commecy often paints many notable people from the history of the town the mural is in.

There are some great videos on his site of the creation of these pieces.

The Simpsons, by Princess Prompt

Groundskeeper Willie
Moe
Patty and Selma
Mr. Burns
Ned Flanders

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

New York
New Jersey
Michigan

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?

Along the contours of roads, property boundaries, and shorelines, English artist Ed Fairburn draws inspiration for his detailed cross-hatched portraits. As an avid map collector, he is fascinated by the urban landscape and cartographic design. “The more maps I collect, the more I want to create.”

You can find more of Fairburn’s work on his website, and follow updates on Instagram, where he often shares videos of his process.
