Adults Charmingly Reinterpret Children’s Drawings in ‘The Monster Project’

Mar­ijke Buurlage

I find it so charm­ing when adults rein­ter­pret chil­dren’s art­work. It show­cas­es how crazy and imag­i­na­tive kids are, and with an adult’s touch, it adds a lev­el of sophis­ti­ca­tion that brings out the best of both worlds. The Mon­ster Project has a sim­ple mis­sion: to “help chil­dren rec­og­nize the pow­er of their own imag­i­na­tions and to encour­age them to pur­sue their cre­ative poten­tial.” Kids draw mon­sters, then artists from around the world recre­ate them in their own styles. Check out their project gallery with over 100 ter­ri­fy­ing­ly adorable mon­sters.

The Mon­ster Project is cur­rent­ly rais­ing fund­ing to expand their project to schools, prod­ucts, and more. Vis­it their Kick­starter.  (Thanks to Gian­lu­ca Maruot­ti for sub­mit­ting this link!)
