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!

Nocturnes of 2126✨ What if Van Gogh and Whistler had painted the night of 2126? 🌙 Nine nocturnes of a future city (robot hounds, rainy delivery bots, air ferries, a tree wired with light), painted with a custom Recraft style built from public-domain paintings at The Met and the Smithsonian. I went digging through the open-access collections of The Met and the Smithsonian looking for the night. I found Vincent van Gogh’s 1889 Saint-Rémy paintings (Cypresses, Wheat Field with Cypresses, Olive Trees, Irises) for their swirling impasto, and James McNeill Whistler’s Nocturnes (Bognor, Valparaiso) for their deep blue darkness lit by small points of gold. I blended the two into a Recraft style, then chained a second style from its results to lock in a cobalt-and-amber night palette. Nocturnes of 2126 uses that 1889 brush to paint a future neither artist could imagine: robot hounds, delivery bots in the rain, silent air ferries, AR lenses and glass houses with solar roofs, all at blue hour. The style is public, so try it yourself 👇

day by the day work you are doing is outstanding man.
