Re-imagining Kids' Drawings By Garrett Miller

A new project launched this year celebrates the ability of kids to come up with amazing ideas. Using kid art as inspiration, re-imagines those drawings to bring them a little bit closer to reality.
The project is the brainchild of Garrett Miller (@heyitsgarrett), a Washington, D.C. software engineer. Miller is not a professional artist by trade, although he is one by training. He graduated from Oberlin College in 2006 as a studio art major before wending his way into a programming job further east. “I miss drawing,” Miller admits, consoling himself with an endless series of doodles at work.
Imaginawesome arose out of a Reddit thread several months ago. A high-quality painting by a 6-year-old prompted commenters to post their own kids’ art. Miller killed some time one night enhancing one of the pieces. The reaction provided just enough fuel to try it again, eventually leading to a website. Miller, who doesn’t have kids of his own and whose friends are only now starting families, has relied on extended networks and the Internet to find new material.
