Embezzler Train Ticket Poetry Poster

Goal: Create a wide illustrated poetry poster combining a surreal expressionist painting on the left with a black text panel on the right, inspired by Marc Chagall and early modernist folk art. Canvas: Horizontal 16:9 composition, approximately 1024×576. Left two-thirds is a richly textured oil-painting scene with a thin dark border; right one-third is a matte black panel containing a QR code and centered poem text. Left illustration: Paint a dreamlike night scene in thick impasto brushstrokes, muted jewel tones, and slightly distorted elongated faces. The central subject is 1 slim, pale, melancholy male embezzler with a long narrow face, dark curly hair, heavy-lidded eyes, wearing a dark navy coat over a purple vest, white shirt, and tie. He is looking downward while checking his vest pocket. In his left hand he holds a paper ticket labeled “TRAIN TICKET WEST”; in his right hand he holds cash near a vest pocket stuffed with tiny colorful jewels. In the lower foreground, show 1 large straw bird nest filled with stolen valuables: exactly 1 visible dollar bill, 1 gold pocket watch, 1 pearl necklace strand, and 8 large faceted jewels in red, purple, clear, yellow, and blue tones. Perched on the nest is 1 black-and-white magpie holding a string of pearls in its beak. Additional painted figures and symbols: Include exactly 5 background/story elements in the painted panel: 1 solemn bride-like woman at upper left with flowers and a small gray bird at her chest; 1 steam locomotive traveling through a blue-green landscape at mid-right; 1 white horse with 1 purple rider floating in the sky near the top; 1 yellow crescent moon at the upper right; and 1 masked purple theatrical figure near the lower right edge. Keep all figures painterly, symbolic, and slightly dreamlike rather than realistic. Right text panel: Use a solid black background. At the top center place 1 white square QR-code graphic. Beneath it, center a haiku-like poem in pale blue-gray hand-lettered text with gentle irregular letterforms. The poem must read exactly: “{argument name="poem text" default="feathering his nest\nwith stolen jewels and cash\nthe embezzler\nchecks his vest pockets\nfor the train ticket west"}” Make the phrase “train ticket west” slightly bolder than the surrounding text. Below the poem, add a small centered credit block in the same hand-lettered style reading: “AI image created by\n{argument name="artist name" default="Michael H. Lester"}\nin collaboration with\n{argument name="model credit" default="GPT Image 2 Low on"}\n{argument name="platform handle" default="Nightcafestudio"}\ntwitter: @mhlester” At the bottom, add two centered URL lines: “https://creator.nightcafe.studio/?ru/mhlester” and “https://4-michael-lester.pixels.com/”. Style constraints: No photorealism. Use expressive brush texture, flattened perspective, blue-violet night palette, gold and gem accents, poetic melancholy mood, and handmade lettering. Preserve the exact count of characters, animals, valuables, and background symbols; do not add extra objects, logos, or decorative borders beyond the visible dark frame.
