How to use this prompt

Pop art is a printing process, not just bright colors — "Ben-Day halftone dots" in the shading is the one detail that makes it read as vintage comic print rather than a flat vector cartoon. Cap the palette at four flat high-contrast colors and ban gradients in the negative prompt; smooth shading instantly modernizes it and kills the screen-printed look. Thick black outlines define the graphic style. Keep the background a single bright plain color so the face pops. This style prints beautifully on merch — it holds up at small sizes because there's no fine detail to lose.

Variations to try

  • Two-tone screenprint — 'just black and one neon color'
  • Warhol grid — 'four panels, each a different color scheme'
