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.
Authors & publishers posting abt illustrated books or using an illustrator's work to promote a book, pls credit ILLUSTRATOR.
Not only are you helping boost artist but it shows people that you or your publisher hired a HUMAN artist.

A cheerful, purple, bean-shaped character wearing a blue beret holds a paintbrush, creating a magical swirl in the background. A QR code and link ("DebbieOhi.link/illustrators-seeking-rep") direct viewers to the thread. Illustration by Debbie Ridpath Ohi.
