Last year we introduced you to The Monster Project, an awesome initiative that sees professional artists adding their own unique touches to monster doodles created by kids in elementary. Well now we're bringing you more of their amazing collaborations, and as you can see below, the results are quite spectacular.
Based out of Texas, the purpose of the project is to encourage creativity and provide inspiration for artistic children everywhere. "With a decreasing emphasis on arts in schools, many children don’t have the opportunity for creative exploration they deserve," reads their website. "That’s a monstrous trend we would like to destroy. As artists ourselves, we understand how important that initial creative exposure is and how it can truly alter the shape of a child's future. Creativity comes in many forms, and we hope to encourage their exploration of their own unique perceptions of the world we share." Vote for your favorite pictures below, and check out their website for more info.

This brings fear... It's like some sort of dino-whale vacuum. I have issues.

In the artists drawing of the monster the monster is holding a picture of himself but the drawing of himself that he is holding up isn't holding a pic of a drawing or himself :''(

That's because when the monster posed for the child to draw it, it wasn't holding the picture.

I feel the green extensions could be improved with more details. Kid's drawings seems to be of wild foliage and a huge flower?

Love this... something about a chainsaw-wielding monster with an affinity for teddy bears that i find relatable
Eszter Vinkó 9 years ago
why childrens make drawnings like this? a chainsaw? when i was a child, a drew flowers, hearts, butterflies and christmas trees. the most morbid thing was fire.

Perhaps they are allowed to be entertained by all kind of media. It's not difficult to put pictures like that in a kids fantasy. Just think about letting a child watch YouTube. After 2 cat vids, there must be a trailer for the walking dead, or a Video about a game, Glorifying violence, etc etc.... My kids paintings are always nice, like airplanes, houses with trees, cats, eagles and other nice animals... they can also use the Internet, but then I delegate the program.

I prefer it without the smile, honestly. It gives me an excuse to hug him- that being to cheer him up. So cute.

This is what you get for running with sharp pencils... it's all good fun until someone loses an eye! o_O

That looks nothing like the kids drawing. I think the artist missed the point lol. It's still a cute monster though.

This artist's version has been somewhat sanitised. In the original, the three eyed monster has pulled the eyeballs out of a bloody, decapitated head. o_O Nice kid! Needs therapy!

no..kid is fine, I used to draw way more violent things as a kid and I turned out fine..minus my depression, sexual fantasies of murder and corpses, panic attacks, voices in my head...im fine

I can't help but want to ruffle the fluffle of this adorable demon creature.

Atmospherically veered off, could be better if set in dramatic background of thunderous lightning skies. And what's with the bulking of the character?

Artist is simplifying the atmospheric interpretation I feel. Where's the sun?

This is just taking the original creature and slapping it onto the picture at the bottom.

Missed out on the musical setting, but seems artist is able to interpret storyline of the kid otherwise.

This has turned from battling an evil pencil to a happy-go-lucky picture for 2 month old babies.

Some are cute, others... I don't really see the original in the redrawing.
