The photos you are about to see are part of the “The Monster Engine Project“, created by Dave DeVries. It includes a book, a demonstration, lecture and a gallery exhibition.
The Monster Engine is based on the idea of creating realistic paintings from children’s drawings. It all turned out to be a great success and an innovative concept. Sometimes artists just happen to get to one point where their imagination stops. But not children.
They are an endless “resource” for creations and we are going to prove that to you with this post. 22 images presenting the drawing made by children, all around 6 years old and then their representations made by Dave DeVries.

Hey Timriedel,
Interesting Thoughts, I was leafing through some art books in the local bookshop and I saw a style I would like to try out. The artist was a man but I can’t remember his name. The pictures that I saw were paintings I think but they were so realistic looking it was hard to tell. From what I can remember they usually included people whose bodies were made out of machinery, often with many people in one picture. The pictures were in grey and blue colours mostly I think. There was alot of very obvious phallic symbolism.
Also here is another one whose name I can’t remember. He seems more modern and has alot of portraits of children with big heads. Again they look very realistic and grownup too, as if they are just grownups with children’s heads.
I look forward to your next post
