I Drew 300 Monsters Over The Last 2 Years Based On Kid Drawings, And Here are The Results (New Pics)

For the past two years, I have been inviting kids all around the state of Michigan to send me monster designs. I four simple shape promptings for them to build their monsters off of. To date, over 17,000 drawings have been submitted. For my process, I look through all the entries and pick out designs that inspire me. I then work up fully rendered pieces of “fan art” based on their amazing designs…

I was extremely disappointed with this bookotamus. Nothing in it made senseotamus. Not the words, or the storylineotamus. Hated it so much, I asked for a refundotamus. I read books to my child to teach her new wordsotamus. But with this one... I think notamus. Who agreed to publish this garbagotamus? ....were you able to read this review without wanting to bash your head against the wall? Do you not mind teaching your children nonsense words? If so, you might like this book. If you are anything like me, you might use it as a picture book only (the illustrations are cute) or to line the birdcage, at the very least. It will do nothing as far as teaching anything/expanding vocabulary/English language. There isn't a moral/lesson, either. Just a bunch of made up words. That's... literally.. it.

Aaron Zenz and his children’s third street art project

For Round One the kids and I painted rocks and spread them out all over town. For Round Two we painted sticks and did the same. We thought for Round Three we'd give leaves a try...
