This is adorable. Great work! Makes me wonder what I'd do for one...

Iβve had terrible heart palpitations lately and itβs got me really down. Iβm blaming my POTS since that seems to be the cause of everything but my god.
π€ oh thatβs sweet π
My 4 year old daughter draws chickens better than I do.
Way back I used to draw a lot more dinosaurs. Thinking about this little steggy today and wanting to draw some more of them. π₯°

I love the color!! It still feels cold but it's not the typical winter blue. π
This is adorable. I really love the texture.
Christmas Baking. Another piece I finished for my portfolio at the beginning of the year! #kidlitart #illustration #childrensbooks
βLet you alone! Thatβs all very well, but how can I leave myself alone? We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real?β

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

βHis rage passes descriptionβthe sort of rage that is only seen when rich folk that have more than they can enjoy suddenly lose something they have long had but have never used or wanted. β

This feels relevant right now.
Itβs good to know that Iβm not alone. At the conference this weekend I felt like an outsider because I didnβt know how to break in with all the people I didnβt know π Practice I guess
Essentially that. When I meet people in person I find it insanely hard to justify going up and just saying hello. I feel like I need a good reason and talk myself out of it. Itβs HARD.
Illustrators, tell me how to be good at networking because man, I am not good at networking. #kidlit
The @scbwi conference has been super inspirational so far. Itβs so nice to be surrounded by people who understand what it is youβre trying to do.
Finished a 3rd character pose for a character design sheet I added to my portfolio. Iβm really happy with how it came out! #kidlitart #illustration #childrensbooks
The prints for my portfolio are out for delivery and I am both very relieved and suddenly very nervous that I screwed them all up. Anxiety never rests I guess. π€·ββοΈπ
An illustration of children and their dog enjoying their day in a field of sea pinks, on an island somewhere I imagine in the northern hemisphere, reading and drawing while surrounded by puffins. Done in Procreate.

Two kids explore a hallway in a dark mansion. They look worried, and the boy holds a flashlight. The hallway is lined with paintings in ornate frames, all of the eyes of the paintings watching the kids. We can see the shadow of some sort of horned monster coming up the stairs. The information on the card reads "Michael Dashow, mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co, represented by Vicki Weber with Creative Media Agency."
