An illustration of a woman in glasses looking up at a poster with a super cat surrounded by little admiring cats. Text on poster reads: "Our Favourite Picture Book, by John Writer" and "Our class has drawing his character!" The woman in glasses is labelled "Jane Illustrator, Feeling Miffed" and her thought bubble reads "But…John Writer didn't decide how this character would look…I did!" In the bottom right corner: #PicturesMeansBusiness, signed by artist Sarah McIntyre.

Gentle reminder to authors & publishers of illustrated books launching this week: Remember to credit/tag the ILLUSTRATOR, esp if you're using their art in promotional materials. See http://www.picturesmeanbusiness.com/ Illus: @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social #PicturesMeanBusiness #KidLit

I have 14 pages of work left in my schedule before I have no more work. Come on comics gods, you’re cutting this one fine. A nice new gif by Tuesday would be lovely.

I did a LOEG commission for Brent last year. He worked with Gerhard (of Cerebus fame) to rotate and crop my original pencils/inks which he then printed on 11x17 comics board, and then painted in watercolor. The result is fantastic...
