It took some effort to get this right, I spent quite a bit of points on Nightcafe until it was presentable.
My aim was to demonstrate what is possible with AI generation: what you see here is the perfect example of a 'fake' page in a 'fictional' art magazine. Now I had been written up several times, so I would not need any 'fake' write up. This is a demonstration only.
further down I post the prompt, plus the seed images I used
Created with NANO BANANA PRO
Using a photoshop manipulated selfportrait called "The Suffering Artist" plus three of my iconic artworks, one of them "Revelation 20", which is written about in the text of the column - the prompt and the column text were provided for by Google Gemini, based on actual input from articles about me on various websites and my own official website https://www.artofthemystic.com/revelation-20.html
I think this one turned out well, after I 'massaged' the prompt and added additional visual material.
This was the prompt
A sophisticated, high-end editorial spread in a contemporary art magazine. The left page features a portrait of the "Suffering Artist" and stunning, high-fidelity reproductions of Otto Rapp’s masterpieces showcasing their intricate psychorealistic details of visionary symbolism. The right page is a clean, modern layout with legible typography. The headline reads "THE MYSTIC VISIONARY" in a bold serif font, followed by a subheadline "Revisiting the Psychorealism of Otto Rapp." The text is arranged in a professional column. High-gloss paper texture with subtle reflections, 8k resolution, sharp focus, cinematic lighting. The art style is a mix of anatomical precision and dark surrealism - The Alchemist of the Flesh "In 'Revelation 20' (1994), Otto Rapp doesn't just paint a scene; he dissects a psyche. Merging the meticulous precision of the Northern Renaissance with the dark, fluid boundaries of Psychorealism, Rapp remains a singular voice in the visionary world. Decades later, his work continues to challenge the border between the mechanical and the mortal."
The Seed Images
These were the seed images I used.
Quite amazing how you can get AI to create a fake magazin spread!
Just ask Google Gemini
You can find the actual post on Nightcafe here: THE MYSTIC VISIONARY - and my page on Nightcafe is here: ART OF THE MYSTIC ON NIGHTCAFE - should you be interested in what you could do on Nightcafe, here is a INVITATION LINK, this is how it would work (for both of us):
You can sign up to a regular free account (I am on a first level Pro Account). Before, I just had a free account, and it worked pretty well for me also. But there are many pro models now that it does make sense to eventually go pro. But just for testing it out, a regular account works pretty well, some of those regular models are actually quite good, I am particularly impressed with Dreamshaper XL Lightning and better even is Z-Image Turbo. There are several more models available to free accounts, particularly the ones called 'Lightning' are quite good.

Final Words of wisdom and a pet concern of mine, especially about art diplomas:
I had in years past come across quite a few 'fake diplomas' that pretend to be academic credentials. Next to 'Pay to Play Galleries' they are the scourge to be avoided. The summary of a paper about this spells it out
DEGREE MILLS - THE BILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY
If you google the title you will find where this book is available, but also there are many videos on this subject.
