What an awesome project. It's funny how adults need elaborately constructed scenes and rendered photorealism just to get back to the most basic imaginative level of a child -- for a fleeting moment, we adults get a kid-o-scope that lets us into an imagination most of us have forgotten.

The wale?
On a serious note, I like these. Although, I think that in some of them the actual content of the drawings was manipulated for the sake of a better composition and/or artistic component.
Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, but it'd be kinda neat to have someone try to pull off more literal versions of some of those. They probably wouldn't look so great, but then again, kids' drawings aren't generally considered works of fine art.
At least it's not some goku/cloud-looking guy jerking off to make a cum-lasso, so that's a plus (ymmv.)

And is not all the world like this? Gazing at this transfigured desert I remember the games of my childhood-the dark and golden park we peopled with gods; the limitless kingdom we made of this square mile never thoroughly explored, never thoroughly charted. We created a secret civilization where footfalls had a meaning and things a savor known in no other world.
And when we grow to be men and live under other laws, what remains of that park filled with the shadows of childhood, magical, freezing, burning? What do we learn when we return to it and stroll with a sort of despair along the outside of its little wall of gray stone, marveling that within a space so small we should have founded a kingdom that had seemed to us infinite - what do we learn except that in this infinity we shall never again set foot, and that it is into the game and not the park that we have lost the power to enter.
