Dutch artist Telmo Pieper has transformed his childhood drawings into digital illustrations series called ‘Kiddie Arts’. “I was fascinated by how strange and great the line drawings were from when I was little,” Pieper explained to TIME. “Surrealistic feel with a realistic subject — impossible to copy the style but possible to work it out further. So I did.”
Pieper found some old sketches and decided to bring the oddly shaped creatures to life, recreating them digitally with Photoshop and Paint. “Since the beginning I never stopped creating and drawing,” Pieper says. “The biggest difference is that I started with pencils and crayons and now my main technique is the spray can or the Wacom tablet.”
