I Want to Believe
I have been a fan of anything UFO related since my father first introduced me to flying saucer films from the 1950s. I have such fond memories of watching Creature Feature with him on Saturday afternoons as a kid. I loved the corny B-films as much as the classics. As an adult that fascination continued with The X-Files, Ancient Aliens, Coast to Coast Radio and the Lore podcast which dips into aliens from time to time. I thought it was time to pay homage to this genre which has brought me so much pleasure over the years with this print highlighting some of the important events in UFO history including the Roswell crash, the Area 51 incident and the Betty and Barney Hill abduction, to name a few. I really wanted it to have a retro feel and touch of humor that would harken back to those 1950’s films. It is the first in a new line of prints, note cards and kitchen towels that I am adding to my sister shop on Etsy: Curious Print and Pattern. I encourage anyone with a mild interest to look into these events further, it is chilling stuff and will totally draw you in!
