Art Data
Introduction
Here is a collection of images and text descriptions of those images, useful in training Stable Diffusion. I realized that I don't have time to really figure out the best way to do all the types of training (TI embeddings, hypernetworks, dreambooth, etc), or really become an expert in any of them. And to be honest, I'm burned out. So I'm just posting all the images I've cleaned up, resized and cropped, as well as text descriptions of all.
All of the artists used in these collections have passed away (I believe). Most were working during the great pulp era of American publishing.
I own none of the pictures. They are presented here for research and study. Thanks to those who donated work.
Keywords in Descriptions
I believe all of the color paintings include the keyword "pulp style". Most, if not all the black and white ones include "illustration" and "monochrome". Each image should also have a "by Artist Name" in the description as well (first name first).
