Starting today, our weekly updates will have a new format. Instead of publishing large batches of freshly added styles, we will put out less—to focus more on each artist and technique.
In the first update of the new kind, I want to say THANK YOU to the Midlibrary community. To you! For your support, feedback, and your constant suggestions. We test every name you send, carefully catalog them, and write a short bio for each artist (for the future website)—and this is how Midlibrary grows. So thank you! In this update, we feature ten mind-blowing styles that you suggested.
Henry Darger
American outsider artist **Henry Darger**'s (1892-1973) style is a true gem for unique, withered fantasy illustrations permeated with a sense of nostalgia and light childhood sadness. Perfect for fairy tale book illustrations (and not only)!

Quilted
**Quilting** is a traditional textile art that involves layering fabrics, a filler, and usually a backing and then sewing them together to create a warm and decorative cover.
Midjourney's Quilting style (summoned best with the prompt modifier quilted) is a way to create unique and personalized designs—landscape, objects, even whole characters—and add a warm and decorative touch to your generation.
