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.”

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/

Drawing of 3 fairies carrying a bomb with a lit fuse. They all stare directly at the viewer with intent in their eyes. It reads fairy bomb in the background.

All my work in progress paintings from the last 5 months 🙌 I haven’t painted traditionally for five years before this so it’s nice to know I got better ☺️

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.

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.

Looks like this #Portfolioday I even accumulated enough art to choose from😊

So I was having a lil crisis and blurred all of my #illustration work and then swirled it and look at this color palette?? Honestly I would love to see what other illustrators swirl looks like!

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.”

If only I could pencil in my own eyebrows that well 👀

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. ⏳✨
