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.

Amazing ✨
While digging through the Rijksmuseum's public domain collection, I found George Barbier's Falbalas et Fanfreluches, a 1920s almanac of hand-stenciled fashion plates that promised fashions "present, past & future."
I built a custom Recraft Style from 10 of his plates, cropping away captions and borders so only his jewel-toned colors, elegant linework, and
confident Parisiennes remained.
Then I gave Barbier the future edition he never got to make: his women deadlifting, running boardrooms, livestreaming makeup tutorials, swiping through suitors and DJing until dawn.
Each scene is presented as a post on Falbalas, an imaginary 1920s social feed where the admirers are many and the comments are scandalized.
It's a celebration of women taking up space, drawn in the style of an artist who always made them the most powerful people in the room.
Present, past, future..wow! All in one, amazing work!
