I Created An Account Where Professional Artists Recreate Children’s Monster Drawings Each Week (35 New Pics)

I am a full-time professional illustrator who has created 45 picture books for children. In 2016, I wrote a book called "Monsters Go Night-Night" in which all the character designs were based on monster drawings my 5-year-old son Elijah had made. To celebrate the book's release, I invited artists to redraw those same 7 original kid drawings in their own styles and post to social media. The response was so astounding that I dubbed the challenge "Monsters Go" and for the next three years continued to share a new monster prompt each week, now provided by all six of my children. During these years, I launched another personal project, which I continued to refer to as "Monsters Go." In this iteration, rather than many artists drawing from a single monster prompt, instead I as a single artist would redraw many monsters submitted by many kids.
