Teachers: Please name the illustrator when you read to students. Discuss the art. Invite illustrators to visit. Show next generation that art in book was created by a HUMAN, that their work matters. www.picturesmeanbusiness.com/teachers/ #PicturesMeanBusiness Art @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social #EduSky

Cartoon illustration showing a classroom display titled “Our Favourite Picture Book” with drawings of a cat character. The text on the poster reads “By John Writer. Our class has drawn his character!” Two children say, “We love John Writer!” and “His cats are so cute!” Beside the display, a woman labeled “Jane Illustrator, feeling miffed” thinks, “But… John Writer didn’t decide how this character would look… I did!” Caption at the bottom reads “#PicturesMeanBusiness Sarah McIntyre.”

Owl dinner🦉🥀🐇 I got green light to post my illustration for the "Dark Fairies" zine, that you can support right now: www.kickstarter.com/projects/but...

And illustration of an owl inspired fairy with bad table manners playing with her food(?) - a white bunny fairy hunter. There are white rats hanging on the owl's dress and on the table, covered with questionable delicacies and decaying flowers.

New #illustration sketch based on the discourse from last year where most women would rather face a bear than a man in the forest. I’ve been in a bit of a rut with where I want to go with my freelance work with the state of everything so trying to focus on personal work 🤞

Looks like this #Portfolioday I even accumulated enough art to choose from😊 Hi, I'm Oly, I love to draw fantasy stuff and, if I'm lucky, also some romance💖 I enjoy working with books, games and character private commissions✨️ ✉️: olycommissions@gmail.com

Illustration for Butch Fairy Zine, featuring Temrava of winter court in the middle of the summer court celebration. As they are indulging in some wine her weasels are plotting a rouse for an escape.

Katha commission for Anne. An aasimar with golden veins like delicate cracks in his skin and his darker reflection.

A beautiful elf surrounded by wisteria on a summer day, conjuring magical birds from the tea in her cup.

Astarion in the rosehip bushes. His fingers look to be covered in blood, there are birds laying on top of him and around him, it is unclear if he has anything to do with it or if the birds are just drunk on berry juice.

Let’s show off our blue art! Requote with 💙💙💙

A creepy figure is standing a in a misty field, there are plants woven in her hair, her eyes glow blue. At her feet snowdrops are sprouting. Her head is silhouetted against a starry blue sky. Her blue dress dissolves into the fog.

The witch--pointy head, a glint in her eye--is the landscape: fir trees, swathes of fog, a tiny town with a bell tower, fields. Also very blue.

A lone figure is standing a the railing of a bridge at night. Before her the giant misty shape of a mute swan appears.

Two children explore a mysterious house in a forest. The house consists of parts built in different centuries, a mansion and a castle. Crows perch on barred branches. A blue moon glows over the scene.

As this particular #WomensHistoryMonth is extra important this year, I thought I would share some portraits I did long before Bluesky, here is my painting of Emily Dickinson. “Not knowing when dawn will come, I open every door.”

As this particular #WomensHistoryMonth is extra important this year, I thought I would share some from my portrait series I did long before Bluesky, starting with Maya Angelou. “Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women.”

The Sands is an Earth Genasi trapped beneath the ruins of a flying city that studied time magic. The city's magic prevented them from dying; instead, they remained trapped for so long that their bodies disintegrated and turned to sand. Now, they oversee the passage of time. ⏳✨ #tarot #dnd #ttrpg

HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to follow you. 👁️👁️👄👁️👁️ It could be anything else, but I know what I’m known for lmao #art #furbies #toomanyeyes

"Be not afraid." Digital art of a biblically accurate furby painted in multiple colours, mainly pinks, oranges and blues. It has three eyes, six wings, and two rings around it. The rings have multi-coloured eyes in an alternating pattern. A dark orb filled with stars and bursting with rays of light is behind it.

Within my first 2 years of transitioning from freelance to being an in-house designer, I’ve already been in the middle of a Hachette acquisition and massive layoffs. It was so hard seeing the many people who have built UNSQ/Sterling for over 15 years let go last week

As a student I didn’t understand why people wanted to teach illustration but now that done a few lectures and mentorships, it’s so rewarding to give new illustrators all the resources I wish someone had told me!
