DISCLAIMERS
To get these results I fed Midjourney almost 400 names using one prompt: by [artist's name] --ar 9:16. Those results that showed distinct style went into this list.
This list is random.
The styles presented here might not be similar to the techniques of the actual artists. To be honest, I don't care. More importantly, these names alter Midjourney generations in a distinct and reproducible way. Which might give you the foundation upon which to build your own amazing prompts and get your own unique results.
