Re-imagining Kids' Drawings By Garrett Miller

Miller has some experience with crowd-sourced art. Along with a classmate at Oberlin, he ran the Envelope Collective, a collaborative experiment that used the transportation of mail as a medium. Over the two-year run, the project went from about 4 pieces a week to 15 a day. Even that project had some kid participation.
Although Garrett says he has a small queue — and a stack of his own childhood artwork, courtesy Mama Miller — waiting for an iteration, Imaginawesome is taking submissions for new kid art to add to the project. “It is best if they don’t know about what is going to happen with it (when they are drawing),” advises Miller. “I don’t want to stress the kids out trying to make it perfect.” He asks for a high-resolution image of the art, the child’s first name and age, and a description of the drawing in their own words.
