Yes, the image is scanned the right way around; the question marks in the painting are deliberately flipped.
Maybe the image is supposed to portray a mysterious (but friendly) alien, thus the antennae and the question marks.
Hi! My name is Nicolas. I’m just an adult who rediscovered his child paintings and I decided to share them on Steemit, hoping to make you smile. :) I have a lot more paintings still in my archives, including drawings of houses, cars, snowmen and dinosaurs...
