Monsters

[channelpenguin]

I'm amazed at the kids monsters. I drew a lot right into my late teens, and aside from a newt-man and dragons never drew anything half as weird and wonderful as those kids. I wonder if that's just me, or that those kids grew up with way more cartoons and video games with much more creative monsters than I ever saw growing up. I actually can't recall ANY. but I got off picture books really young I think. (I could read at 2.5 started reading shop signs, posters and things like that). I really only recall one picture book - a set of proofs of a French kids book from the printing firm my grandfather worked for (with lovely art). So I'm in awe of those kids imagination!
