Relleno De Mono is one photographer with a vivid imagination. Taking his [old family photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrova), he has spruced up the images by adding a couple of [multihued monsters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsters-by-monsters-now-and-then). The result is a hilarious collection of family memories.

The photos range from monsters peaking around in the background to family members getting colorfully tooned by the artist. I think this is the perfect way to create amusement with boring old photographs and to captivate viewers.
