Damask Daydream grew out of my love for the soft pink of old parlours, which is why most of the style is drawn from pale damask, embroidered silk and gilded chairs dressed in striped fabric. In those rooms pink was the color of private luxury and quiet romance, and I wanted that same warmth to carry through every page of the series.

On its own that pink could easily feel like decoration, so I paired it with a romantic sunset landscape and a naive jungle painting that bring in glowing skies, oversized leaves and a gentle sense of strangeness. Those two paintings are what tip the style into pop surrealism, as though the parlour had drifted off to sleep and begun to dream.

The series imagines the pages of a fashion art book that was never published, a collection of editorial covers shot inside that dream. Real models with natural faces share each frame with giant blooms, enormous fruit and objects that grow in impossible ways, turning every image into a botanical surrealist spread where the colors and textures of the past quietly shape a very modern world.

LOVED THIS ONE! While exploring the Rijksmuseum's public domain collection, I fell for Ohara Koson's quiet woodblock prints of small birds and flowers on soft, misty skies.

I trained a custom Recraft Style on ten of his prints from 1900–1930, cropping away signatures and margins so only his gentle colors, delicate lines and generous empty space remained.

Then I asked: what if his birds moved to the city? I used the Style to design for everyday 2026 life, from a tram wrap and a full-sleeve tattoo to café umbrellas, a building mural and a pedestrian crossing painted as a lily pond.

A century later, Koson's birds are still finding new places to land.

An interesting implementation.
