William Bl-AI-ke

A cool mini-project I’m working on is having AI draw in an artist's style with their quotes as the input.

Next up, the master of the mysterium tremendum himself, William Blake. He’s an obvious choice, so we had to. Using Openjourney (https://huggingface.co/prompthero/openjourney), I pasted in Blake quotes and asked it to give me art in his style.

In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between, there are doors.

Make your own rules or be a slave to another man's.

If the doors of perception were cleansed everything
would appear to man as it is, infinite.

What is now proved was once only imagined.

The imagination is not a state: it is the human existence itself.

Let’s round it with a Blake-esque poem written by AI:

Here where I stand, surrounded by the night,
The stars and the moon, in eternal light.
Learning wisdom through the darkest of dreams,
Breaking free from all the destructive schemes.

Let me know if you have ideas about other hermeticists / poet-painters / deep thinkers to try out.
