Those little un-biased brains have nothing much to worry about (hopefully&#8230;) and so they just connect right away. Kids don&#8217;t edit or judge or over-think themselves. They&#8217;re awesome.</p>

<p>With <a href="http://themonsterengine.com/openingpage.html"><span style="color:#00ff00;">&#8220;The Monster Engine&#8221;</span></a>, New Jersey-based illustrator <a href="http://www.davedevries.com"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Dave Devries</span></a> takes the drawings of children and re-envisions them as more realistic looking art. I can&#8217;t tell you how much I love how faithful he is to the original drawings. He doesn&#8217;t edit or try to improve them at all &#8211; he just faithfully transfers them with a more  experienced artistic skill. Can you imagine being a little kid and then seeing your drawing come to life like this? It would blow my little kid mind.</p>
