Shelly Palmer

 

Greetings from Candlewood Lake. If you want to know who uses AI best — just look for the most knowledgeable subject matter experts using the tech. The more you bring to AI, the more you’ll get out of it.

But what if you want to be great at text-to-image AI (like Midjourney, SDXL, or DALL-E) but you haven’t been to art school or spent years studying art history? Our Midjourney Reference Art Resource Page can help. It is a collection of works by dozens of famous artists that includes: the name of the artist, the genre they are most famous for, examples of their artwork, and descriptive words you can use while crafting a generative AI prompt. It won’t replace years of art school, but it will help you get much more out of text-to-image generative AI tools.

As always, your thoughts and comments are both welcome and encouraged. -s

P.S. ICYMI: On this week’s Shelly Palmer LIVE, I talked about new ChatGPT features, the now-infamous AI-created South Park episode (and what it means for the television production business), pending AI copyright lawsuits, potential regulation, Llama 2, and much, much more. Watch it here.
