BizarroGAN: Generating bizarro comics using machine learning!

I made a dataset of Bizarro comics from a undisclosed source. (hint hint...) and created a image generation machine learning using RunwayML (paid like $35 bucks)

I made a dataset of Bizarro by Dan Piraro comics from a images on google. and created a image generation machine learning using RunwayML (paid like $35 bucks)

Here's the results:

Well it kinda looks like his stuff...So there's that.

Examples of his awesome comic

I like how the machine learning model picked up on the beige color that he uses! And the Salvador Dalí influence, which is more a result of how the machine learning training works but its funny to see if pop up in the images. (smiley face emoji)

The take away:

There is a lot of room for improvement, id like it to create text that sounds like his stuff, and combine that with some more realistic images for a improved result.

For a first try at machine learning id say this is a awesome success!.
