Art Friday : The Monster Engine

Ever wondered how imaginary monsters conjured from the fertile minds of children would look like if they were realized by a professional artist rather than a young doodler? Check out The Monster Engine where Dave Devrie interprets and builds on rough sketches by children and turns them into works of art.

I love the way how Dave stays true to the original concepts of the little artists while significantly enhancing and adding extra details to the interesting parts for each sketch.

Some of my favourites below.

Bren Borek’s work is actually quite good if a bit on the plain side. I wished I exhibited such artistic skills at that age :)

A cross between a vampire, ballet dancer and tightrope artist. Kids have the most incredible imaginations :shock:

    Unfortunately, I think the website hasn’t been updated for quite a while though :(
