Use DALL-E 2 to generate custom wall art
The earliest version of this idea came a couple years ago, when I moved into the first place I finally cared enough about to invest in. I wanted wall art that matched my style, but couldn’t find much within my budget. I wanted items that were congruent with my home, and wasn’t really looking for pieces with great stories or that took courage to produce or anything else that makes truly great art great. But I just couldn’t find anything I liked. Doing some research, I discovered StyleGAN and similar technologies. I found they were amazing at certain tasks, like turning photos to impressionist…
In plain words
This service uses DALL-E 2 to generate custom wall art tailored to individual preferences and budgets. Users can create AI-generated pieces that match their home's style without needing to commission artists or purchase existing work. It targets people who want affordable, personalized wall decor that fits their aesthetic but struggle to find suitable options through traditional means.

In the maker’s words, at launch
The earliest version of this idea came a couple years ago, when I moved into the first place I finally cared enough about to invest in. I wanted wall art that matched my style, but couldn’t find much within my budget. I wanted items that were congruent with my home, and wasn’t really looking for pieces with great stories or that took courage to produce or anything else that makes truly great art great. But I just couldn’t find anything I liked. Doing some research, I discovered StyleGAN and similar technologies. I found they were amazing at certain tasks, like turning photos to impressionist paintings, but were too limited to create the stuff I was most interested in. So I moved on. Fast forward to today, the recent advances in generative imagery made it seem like the time might finally be right for this idea. So with a kick in the tuchus from fellow HN'er lowe0292, we decided to build it. We use DALL-E 2 for generating images and SharpJS for the under-the-hood image manipulation. We use a service to upscale the images before printing, but will eventually run our own setup with Real-ESRGAN or similar. Feedback very much appreciated :)

I made a thing! In 2014, I was holding a stack of iPhones and thought to myself: "Hey, if I had each phone display a playing card, I could click a button and they'd shuffle themselves" I pared that idea all the way down to this: trading cards made of e-ink displays. Right now, each card costs me about $20 each, but with only a bit more scale, I think I can get that down to $10. In doing this project, I learned how to design electronics and circuit boards. I learned Rust and wrote my first driver, I upped my CAD skills, 3D printed, and did my first resin casting. I generated the images on the…
