Day 11 - A is for Alien

Today's entry for the [livejournal.com profile] naarmamo National Art Making Month challenge is a page in a child's science fiction ABC, as suggested by [livejournal.com profile] kerravonsen.

A is for Alien



#1 in a series (though don't hold your breath for all 26).

[Edit] I changed the font. Apparently the previous lower-case a is banned in UK lower schools; who knew?

My NaArMaMo 2008 Gallery is here.

That's gorgeous! I love the little fat alien, and the way we're looking down on him from above.

Thanks! :-D

Choose me!
I love it ;0)

You recognise him! :-)

Now he look like the type of alien Vila wouldn't mind meeting, he's cute and resemble the aliens in a children's picture book I love. This one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/reader/0744543940/ref=sib_dp_pt#reader-link but less scary.

And he's not hairy!

That book reminds me of Mercer Mayer's monster books.

"You have saved our lives: we are eternally grateful".

I loved those little alien toys - a lovely pic.

If you did the whole alphabet, I know people who'd buy that as a book.

:-D I have one of them on a shelf of my computer desk. He sits beside Picard, Buzz Lightyear, and a strange space cat.

I'm considering it. I'd have to change the alien though--and apparently the font to some standard learning one.

He's one of the green aliens from "Toy Story". I love the green aliens.

[identity profile] astrogirl2.livejournal.com 2008-08-11 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, I recognized him! I adore Toy Story, and the aliens were pretty much the best part. Also, they are so cute! :)

I was so frustrated that for ages you couldn't by them because the marketers had no idea how much they were loved. I found our two at the supermarket of all places. We have them by our puters; mine has made friends with Picard.

Oh, that's brilliant. I love it!

Thanks! :-D

OMG THAT'S ADORABLE!!! Hee, it's the little UFO catcher aliens from Toy Story!

It is! I have one sitting by Captain Picard and Buzz Lightyear, and Greg has one too. :-) He makes me smile.

*picks up alien with grabber and hugs him* He is Gorgeous. And so happy.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-08-11 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
He is! We have one each by our puters.

Keep the font it is nice and clear!
Love those aliens from ToyStory!

I'll play with it and see if I can find one as good. Two people have told me the lower case a is banned in schools. WTH?

A, A, A! What begins with A? Awesome adorable alien, A, A, A!

LOL, thanks!

Really cute! And so colourful it would really grab a child's attention.

They have some very strange rules over here. I've given up trying to figure them out.

Thanks!

The two people felt so strongly about it, they had to tell me. Very odd, but then these are the As they'd be taught to print. I never had a problem reading the other style though.

Thank you! :-)
