The Monster Engine harnesses the purest creativity found in children and transforms their scribbles and art work into more professional looking paintings.

Instead of just seeking inspiration from, or reinterpreting, their work, Dave Devries asks, “What would children’s drawings look like if they could be painted realistically?”

The Monster Engine is the first book in a series about repainting the drawings of children in more realistic ways.

Fascinating!

He doesn’t edit or try to improve them at all - he just faithfully transfers them with a more experienced artistic skill. Can you imagine being a little kid and then seeing your drawing come to life like this? It would blow my little kid mind. (shapeandcolour.wordpress)

Jeremy when do we get to see the actual traffic a trend has received? This particular trend went mad viral and I'm eager to see the actual traffic it has received so far.

You can ask me to look anything up in google analytics. In this case: 25,000 page view. Here's the note regarding 'mad viral': If you look at the "Hot This Quarter" rankings, everything this month is not comparable because the numbers aren't apples-to-apples. Our OLD servers used to cache everything for 5 minutes, so our count was based on the number of 5 minute periods where at least one request was made... The new servers don't cache the same way. So all the trends this month look higher in the rankings. It's on the list of things to fix. The good news is that I DO have all the data in google analytics, so when fixed, everything can be updated.

Clear enough. I'm still very surprised it received that many hits and I was puzzled as to how it could have seemingly surpassed trends that made it to Digg's front page. But your explanation cleared up a lot of stuff. Muchas gracias por la informacion Jeremias. Muy amable.
