Authors & Publishers posting about illustrated books, pls credit the ILLUSTRATOR. Doing a #CoverReveal? Credit illustrator & designer. Not only are you helping boost artist but it shows people that you or your publisher hired a HUMAN artist. #PicturesMeanBusiness Art @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social

Although Cricket Media still doesn't appear to have the funds to pay its writers and illustrators (Writer Beware continues to get complaints) it is apparently flush enough to acquire children's streaming service Sensical deadline.com/2025/02/cric...

Noticing more accts posting photos & art created by others, without credit. PLEASE incl proper credit (not just in alt-text). Only share if you know creator is ok with it. Check if creator is on Bluesky, tag if they are. Human creators have enough of a challenge these days. #PicturesMeanBusiness

If someone quote-posts you in a way you don't like, just click on the 3 dots at the bottom right & select "Detach quote." Automatically removes my original post from their quote-post. More: debbieohi.link/detach-quote... I just did this for a troll, then blocked them. #BlueSkyRocks

I’m at work. But I’d rather be home so I can work on my artwork. Time is always precious for me. #kidlitart #kidlit #illustrator
