Dave Devries The Monster Engine
This site is too cool to just add to my delicious bookmarks and not mention in detail to all of you. Dave Devries decided to collect art drawn by children, and then re-render their creations in a professional way.

The idea is just inherently cool to me–I love the way a child’s imagination combines with a professional artist’s technique to create incredibly surreal creatures. One thing I am fascinated by is how often the hands and feed trail off into scribbles, nothing really representational of what they should look like. I can remember being a kid and hating drawing those parts. There is a strong bias in our brains towards faces, it seems like, even at a very young age. We can all draw a face, but hey, hands and feet are freaking hard. I just love the way Devries deals with this in his re-renders.
