About MEI
Hi! I’m Mike K, and these are My English Images. I’ve been teaching English for over 20 years, but art is my first love. Over time, I’ve made LOTS of illustrations, worksheets, and books for my students. Now, I share them with teachers around the world. If that’s you, feel free to get in touch with (constructive) criticism, requests, and suggestions.
Keep scrolling for a look at my newest projects, books, cards, shirts, and more.
What's New
With over a hundred illustrations and lots of quizes, examples, and clear explanations, my newest book is full of amazing English words from all over the world!
The original 100 Common Uncommon Words recently got a major facelift with all new images, improved games, text, and a sharp new look.
FAQ
Q: How long does it take to make images?
A: Great question! It depends. A single, simple worksheet or image of a character can often be done in a day. Bigger, more complicated projects understandably take more time.
Q: Do you use AI to generate images?
A: No. AI has been a very helpful tool for the technical aspects of my work as a teacher and proofreader, but it’s also incredibly lazy to offloading imagination, creativity, and thinking to AI.
Q: Do you always use the same style?
A: No. A lot of my older images were hand painted in gouache. (If you spot any that need an update let me know!) Generally, I use two styles. One is with quite tight lines, the other is a bit more relaxed and fun.
Q: I want an image of ______, but I didn’t find it on the site.
A: GET IN TOUCH!
I would be incredibly happy to hear from you.
