About My English Images
Hi! I’m Mike, and these are My English Images. Here, you’ll find an ever-growing pool of resources for teachers and parents, full of friendly characters to brighten up any classroom.
I make custom images and materials based on the classes I teach and your requests! So, don’t be afraid to get in touch and help shape the future.
What do you mean you make “custom” images and materials?
I make unique images to make your school or class stand out and make learning more enjoyable for your kids. You may need images to illustrate a scene in a story, or maybe you are planning a ten-part class about writing email and you need a consistent look to your materials. In any case, I can help make your ideas come to life.

How does that work exactly?
It’s pretty simple really. I start out by listening to your ideas and creating a sample. If you like it, I’ll set a price based on how much work is involved and how long the work will take. Once you’re satisfied, I’ll make the final version and deliver the artwork or materials.

How long does it take to create these images?
Great question! It depends on what you need. A single, simple worksheet or image of a character can often be done in a day. Bigger, more complicated projects understandably take more time.
How do you make your images?
I usually start with a few sketches, add line art, then color. In the past, I used opaque watercolors which I still love, but these days, I use digital media so I can make adjustments more easily.

Do you use AI to generate your images?
No. AI has been a very helpful tool for the technical aspects of my work as a proofreader. However, the idea of offloading imagination, creativity, and thinking to AI is lazy.
