Aliens On My Mind

I've been feeling a little like a stranger in a strange land lately. It might be because school has started and I'm back to work at the XYZ Charter High School (name has been changed to potect the innocent.)


We are in a new location this year, I'm working with a new teacher, and some new kids too.They are all such interesting, intelligent, creative beings trying to discover  how they fit into this world. Some are sure that they know where they will be 5 years from now, others don't have a clue (I can relate more to this group.) I'm STILL searching all these many years myself;  The thing that I have come to realize is that I so enjoy the search that I am a little afraid the destination might be a let down!


Anyway, with the feeling of being a little on the "outs" with the rest of my peers, and maybe because the Mars Rover is in the news, my cranium seems to be filled with thoughts of aliens. Sketches, stories,and images of an alien nature, keep hovering around the edges of my subconscious.


 What does this mean? I'm not sure, but maybe it's worth exploring!

I bet your students are going to love those alien images if they land on a page and the kids get to see them. You’ll probably ignite their imagination & who knows where that will take them!

    Author & Illustrator

    I was born in Southern California, so grew up believing in dreams and magic (thanks to Hollywood and Disneyland.) While I occasionally feel duped, I still have a core fascination with all things fairy land-ish that will never leave me! I have a degree in Graphic Design from Chico State University.  My art career has gone on tangents here and there, but  always returns when called. I am a published author/illustrator in the field of children's books.
