To publishers, authors, & others posting about illustrated books, including covers that have illustration: Please credit the ILLUSTRATOR.

This not only helps boost the illustrator, but also shows that you value HUMAN illustrators.

Large blue text reads, “Why do so many book people keep forgetting to credit illustrators?” Beside the text, a roundish blue winged horse contains the text “#Pictures Mean Business.” At the bottom is the credit: “Illustration: Sarah McIntyre along with a website link.

European goldfinch. Watercolour on silk mounted on paper.

I had to wash out and repaint the scapulars and marginal coverts three times. Hugely relieved it worked out in the end. 🥲

I'll post the full piece when it will be available at auction next week. 🙏
Detail from a painting of the head and upper body of a European goldfinch, photographed with a penny and a traditional Chinese brush. The piece is small and delicate. The bird's head is roughly comparable in size to the penny, only slightly larger.

An ornate, baroque-looking mech with a skull face and a catholic aesthetic holds in its hand a winged, pink-haired girl in a flightsuit, checking her own pulse. Tubes filled with blood come out the back of her suit and trail off screen. An image of a green/brown moon, cut down its equator, floating in a sea of clouds. In the foreground at the bottom of the image, a group of shepherds or nomads, along with their alien animals, look off to the horizon. Upsidedown at the top of the image, but still In the foreground at, a group of adventurers climb over rocky hills and look into the horizon. An illustration of 4 characters. A purple-robed priestess with a bell staff, an aproned terrapin-fellow, a fuming chef with massive chef's greatknife and a dancing singing girl with a long glassy rod of ice. They stand on an idyllic field, ready to venture forth like the JRPG party they are. In dusty scrublands, hundreds of sheep are guided by several reptilian shepherds. In the distance hulking, rusty spaceship parts are crashed into the landscape.

Cover for Celine Leonora's book "A Lesson in Murder," sans type. A blonde girl in a boarding school blazer, plaid skirt and tie, a black bow in her hair, opens an old stained gothic window that is surrounded by red and orange fall ivy. Reflected in each side of the window is the face of a young man, one blonde, one black haired wearing glasses. An illustration of Frankenstein, sad and morose, his hair long, laying in the dirt and looking at his reflection in a pond. All around him are sheets of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, covered in editing notes. A figure stands atop a house in this ominous illustration painted in dark neutrals, reds, oranges and dusky browns. In the distance, a fire rages, as sheets of paper fly up and into the sky. Hamlet's fathers ghost, with long wispy hair, clutches at a black castle.
