The Monster Engine

Posted by Queuebot in Art on April 9, 2010 at 4:58 am

Dave Devries takes children’s sketches of monsters from their imagination and renders them in paint, while keeping the scary details.

The process is simple. I project a child’s drawing with an opaque projector, faithfully tracing each line. Applying a combination of logic and instinct, I then paint the image as realistically as I can. My medium is mixed—primarily acrylic, airbrush, and colored pencil.

Remember when you were little and playing outside with your friends and someone said lets play ‘War’, ‘Cowboys and Indians’ or ‘Cops and Robbers’? And using your imagination that stick you found turned into a weapon complete with sounds and recoil and the times when you’d argue with friends on whether or not they got hit by your weapon? Well, these kids are doing the same thing but are using their imagination at a much more prodigious level. :)

**Note: This movie has subtitles so please turn them on by following the instructions that pop up when you press play!
