Inspired by the Monster Engine (See previous post), I have taken a picture painted by Alison age 7, from the internet and put it through my Alien Factory.
I enjoyed the experience of playing with the painting to create an alien, my first alien.
Here is Alison's original painting, which is the picture of a glass of water with its shadow!
Dave Devrie has once asked a question? What would a child's drawing
look like if it were painted realistically? This question derived him
to create what he later called "The Monster Engine".
He worked with the painting of children to bring them to life and in the process, turned the drawings to monsters.
Obviously
we all agree that the intention of the children was not to draw
monsters, but their limited ability to create realistic drawings made
the creatures obviously less than perfect,. I personally think Dave
could have created an engine of creatures less monstrous if he wanted
to, but what he has done is fantastic and original!
Anyhow, you can see Dave's work here.
