MJ Illustrated is a project by Matt Blank. The site offers a fresh way to experience Michael Jackson through daily AI-generated artwork.
While AI might seem to lack originality, the creative process lies in imagining unique scenes, carefully crafting prompts, and refining details in Photoshop to ensure each image accurately captures the intended vision. I still view this art, just using a different kind of brush.
The artwork explores a variety of styles, all created with the utmost respect for Michael Jackson. This project is a tribute, celebrating his life and career through the creativity of digital art, with admiration, support, and love.
Thank you.
Around 30 to 45 minutes, factoring in the time needed to refine the prompt, perfect Michael’s appearance, fine-tune the details of his clothing, shape the surrounding scene, and ensure the overall artistic style is just right.
There are thousands of incredible images of Michael available online. With AI advancing rapidly, I saw the perfect opportunity to create stunning artwork of him. Pieces so captivating, you’d want to print, frame, and display them on your wall.
No. While it’s certainly possible, I have no desire to mislead fans. Michael was photographed extensively throughout his 50 years, and creating something artificial that could be mistaken for the real thing wouldn’t be right. It wouldn’t be respectful to the fans, and it wouldn’t be respectful to Michael. I’m not here to deceive. I’m here to honor and celebrate him through creative artistry.
