My longlisted entry for the Folio Book Illustration Award. Researched quite a few things that gross me out, namely eye injuries and insects😅. The spider is a jorō-gumo. V. pretty V. creepy😬. Graphite drawing w/ digital colouring using Affinity Photo😊 #bookillustration #rapunzel #foliobia

An illustration of tangled thorns and insects in the evening blue light. A closer look reveals a scratched up hand reaching out and a partially hidden face with the eye scratched and blinded.

You know you can just not use AI, right? You can make a choice not to be part of this. Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it. You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

Quick #topnine post before 2024 is over. Hope you've all had a lovely year. No "new year, new me", just will carry on making little improvements where possible - try not to beat myself up over the "shoulda, woulda, coulda"s. Here's to 2025🥂 #kidlitart #UKKidLit #childrensbookillustration #topnine

Intro post-- I'm Jane, and I illustrate picture books, especially ones about wildlife & nature! 💚 I really love to draw narrative non-fiction, but this year came the release of the first Funny picture book I've worked on (WE ARE THE WIBBLY by Sarah Tagholm), which was incredible fun to be part of 🐸✨

The front cover of We Are The Wibbly, a picture book by Sarah Tagholm and Jane McGuinness. It's green with bubbles/frogspawn and tadpole characters swimming all around the title. The book sits on a blue backdrop with lilypad and toy frog decorations around it.

The front cover of Find Out About: Animal Camouflage, a picture book by Martin Jenkins and Jane McGuinness. It shows a snowy scene with Arctic hares and an Arctic Fox curled up asleep.

The front cover of What's Next?, a picture book by Timothy Knapman and Jane McGuinness. It shows a baby badger character in front of the moon, looking up curiously, surrounded by flowers, animals and stars.

A black and white photo of Jane McGuinness. She's wearing a black hat and a dress with a lace collar. She should probably take a new photo soon but this one has done the job so far.

Friendly tip: If you are new to #BlueSky, keep in mind that the same basic courtesies apply here as elsewhere: Don’t spam people or hashtags, don’t harass, don’t DM someone if you don’t know them, don’t follow someone & then immediately request a favor. Acting this way will get you blocked.
