# Revisited Childhood Drawings Telmo Pieper Creates Digital Versions of Art Made at the Age of Four By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-07-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childhood-drawings References: [designtaxi](http://www.designtaxi.com/news/367236/Artist-Digitally-Paints-His-Kiddie-Sketches-From-Age-4-Results-In-Wacky-Art/) & [telmopieper](http://www.telmopieper.com/) The [childhood drawings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joyful-outlines) you did as a kid might have been displayed on the fridge for a little while before they disappeared into some storage box forever, but in a new series, artist Telmo Pieper is digging up the past to revive drawings he made as a four-year-old. In his youth, Pieper drew things like whales, cars, bears and snails, which can be seen in the corners of his new [digital drawings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paletteplayart) that take inspiration from his surreal [childhood artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-basics-ii). The Kiddie Art Series is a fun way to merge imagination from past with the artist's skills at present. In the case of something like his drawing of a shark, it really wasn't too far off, but Pieper's drawing of a brown Grizzly is adorably teddy bear-like. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Childhood Nostalgia:** Opportunities for companies to tap into nostalgic feelings and memories of childhood for marketing and product development. - **Digital Art:** Innovative companies can explore new ways to create digital art from traditional mediums and leverage technological advancements to expand creativity. - **Personalization:** The trend towards personalization continues to grow and companies can capitalize on it by integrating personalized nostalgia artwork into their products or services. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** In the art and design industry, traditional mediums can be transformed into innovative digital art while preserving the original vision. - **Advertising:** Advertising firms can use personalized nostalgia artwork as a way to tap into emotions and memories of childhood experiences to create emotional connections between customers and brands. - **Home Decor:** Companies in the home decor industry can offer personalized nostalgia art prints or custom murals to evoke the atmosphere of childhood memories and increase consumer engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Drawing-Inpsired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/family-project.md) - [Kid-Designed Sculptural Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galerie-philia.md) - [Realistic Sketch-Reflective Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawing-series.md) - [Child-Friendly AI Doodles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childs-doodles.md) - [Artistic Gen Alpha Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moooi-carpets.md) - [Customizable Kids Wall Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodleface.md) - [Nostalgic Blind Toy Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teletubbies-say-hello.md) - [Young-Artist Graphic Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lineslineslines.md) - [Creativity Time Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campaign-for-creativity.md)
