Near the end of the last school year, I invited kids around the state of Michigan to send me monster designs. Close to 3,000 drawings showed up to my house. I spent the summer picking out designs that inspired me as an illustrator, and I worked up fully rendered pieces of "fan art" in colored pencil with the same techniques I use when illustrating picture books.
The collection is on display during ArtPrize 2017 in Grand Rapids Michigan outside the Children's Museum. Throughout ArtPrize, kids continue to submit designs, I illustrate new fan art monsters Live on-site, and the results are added daily to the growing collection.

I think it would be better without bird legs, just wings and cat back legs are enough (front cat paws would fit as well).

I think in the left one, the little fluff was actually the evil one, trying to get inside the big fellow's mouth for an insurance scam (you can see the evil face on him while entering his mouth, mwhahaha).

I like to imagine that it loves shiny things and runs around searching for them, and when he finds them he stores them by putting them on his highly sticky head

The original actually looks like the kid possibly imagined the monster to have some sort of helicopter rotor blade tail. And I notice that the monster looks like he's holding a heart in his left hand, as if he's going to eat it.

What do you think ?

They should make teddies out of all these drawings and give them to the kids

I am curious about some of the images having what appear to be a starting shape or started lines that the kids add to. Do you provide starters to the children or is this something their teachers do or is this something else entirely?

The end results are probably what the children already see - thanks for letting us adults have a glimpse into their minds ;-D
